The Pearl Harbor Attack: A Turning Point in WWII

On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was the site of a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy, leading to significant U.S. losses. The attack resulted in the sinking of battleships, destruction of aircraft, and heavy casualties among military personnel. This event prompted the United States to formally enter World War II, declaring war on Japan the following day, which subsequently led to Germany and Italy declaring war on the U.S. The attack revealed the strategic vulnerabilities of the U.S. naval forces and shifted the global balance in the war.
