Pearl Harbor Attack
The Japanese surprise attack on the U. S. Navy's base at Pearl Harbor and Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands on Sunday morning, 7 December 1941, destroyed much of the American Pacific Fleet and brought the United States into World War 2. What president Franklin D. Roosevelt called a " day which will live in infamy " led Congress to declare war on Japan on 8 December. The attack folowed the decision of the government of premier Hideki Tojo that the Roosevelt administration would not abandon China and Southweast Asia to the Japanese military nor continue to supply Tokyo with oil and other vital supplies. Thus, while negotiating with Washington, Tokyo also planned a major Japanese offensive into British Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, and the American Philippines. The major opposing naval force in the Pacific would be the U. S. Navy, which had moved to its forward base at Pearl Harbor in May 1940. As part of the Japanese of fensive, Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander in chief of the Combined Japanese fleet devised a secret plan for a preemptive air strike against the American fleet in order to give Japan time to fortify its newly
conquered territories.
