Question
What was the significance of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour?
Solution
The US Naval Base at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii was attacked by the Japanese on the morning of December 7, 1941. The Japanese had planned and executed the surprise attack in order to dishearten the American people and kept the United States out of World War II. Instead, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour riled the emotions of the American people and spurred their entry into the war. Until then, the USA had remained neutral though they provided Britain with massive financial aid under the Lend-Lease Act of April 1941. This brought the USA into war and transformed it in a global conflict.
