What is the signficances of Pearl Harbor?

Answer 1

Pearl Harbor was the spark that ignited the second world war in the United States. Prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, attitudes in the United States were divided as to whether the country should enter the war with Germany or Japan. Many, perhaps most, people were not inclined to sacrifice the souls or resources of the country in a fight that was not judged our own. Pearl Harbor made the fight our own! Men, women and children rose to the challenge of war on two fronts. Lives were lost, resources spent and final victory achieved.
