What was one reason that the Japanese were successful in their attack on Pearl Harbor?
Because they gained complete and total surprise. No declaration of war had been issued so, even though we knew hostilities were immenent, we had no reason to expect an attack. And, to the expent we did think they were planning something, we thought it was going to be against the Philippines or the Dutch East Indies. Thus, when they came flying over at 7:00 on a Sunday morning, most of the men were still asleep, no guns were loaded, no planes were in the air or even ready to take off and, worst of all, all the ships were tied up at dock with their engines cold so they couldn't even move. Its easy to be successful when there is hardly anybody shooting back at you.Michael Montagne
