Pearl Harbor was only one battle; not the war. Wars are mostly a series of battles. A nation can WIN every battle and still lose a war. Or, a nation can LOSE every battle and still win a war. One of the elements of the "Art of War" is "surprise." Japan planned on delivering a "surprise knock-out punch" to the US Navy. It was successful in carrying out that mission. Had they not been successful; the battles of the Java Sea, Savo Island, Guadalcanal, etc. would have been BATTLESHIP ENGAGEMENTS instead of CRUISER sea battles. Those cruiser sea fights were fought without battleships, because the US Battleships were sunk at Pearl Harbor.
