Pearl Harbor attackPearl Harbor (in Hawaii), the major US naval base in the Pacific Ocean, was attacked by carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes of the Japanese Navy on December 7, 1941. The Japanese achieved complete surprise over the Americans and were able to attack American ships at their docks and planes on their runways. Eight American battleships were anchored in the harbor, all of which were destroyed or badly damaged. Around 2400 Americans were killed in action. The one bright spot for the Americans was that their own aircraft carriers were not in the harbor that day and were able to sink four of the Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway six months later. (not the best answer)->The Japanese were not happy about this so they raced to there military and went to the Hiroshima beach to later discover they will lose the war<-
