The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7, 1941, when the Japanese Imperial Navy launched a surprise military strike against the United States naval base in Hawaii. This attack aimed to incapacitate the U.S. Pacific Fleet and prevent American interference in Japan's military operations in Southeast Asia. The assault resulted in significant loss of life and damage to ships and aircraft, leading to the United States' formal entry into World War II the following day. The attack is often remembered as a pivotal moment that shifted public opinion in favor of entering the war.
