The Nazi Germans did not bomb Pearl Harbor Hawaii. The Japanese Military did it because they wanted to destroy the US Naval Fleet so the Navy would not go after Japan when they invaded many Asian nations and Australia.

The attack backfired. The aircraft carriers were not in Pearl Harbor at the time and some of the naval fleet was still on the coast of the continent. Therefore the US declared war on Japan since the US had not provoked Japan.
