It was a surprise attack; Japan didn’t declare war before the event.2
Around 3700 Americans were killed or injured.3
The attack on Pearl Harbor brought the US into the war.4
Germany declared war against US nearly immediately after.5
Hitler was furious that Japan had declared war on US because he had not acquired full control of continental Europe.
Hitler underestimated the strength of his enemy.6
Hitler’s racial view was one reason why he underestimated his enemies.7
Hitler didn’t think that a country (US) that was “half Judaised and the other half negrified” would stand a chance against the German troops. 8

It was written by Norman Lowe who is a author with specialism in historical events. This book is based on actual facts that have been told by evidence from each and every event, therefore I see it as really reliable.

    Several events occurred that heightened the conflicts between the nations of Germany and United States. In the fall of 1941, German U-boats shot at USS Grear, hit the USS Kearny, and sunk the USS Reuben. This attack killed hundreds of sailors and shocked Americans and moved them closer to involvement in the war. The United States began involvement in the war by supplying the Allies with goods and arms. The main event that brought America into the war was the attack on Pearl Harbor. The attack on Pearl Harbor infuriated many Americans as involvement became inevitable. The United States posed a threat to Japanese expansion. The Japanese hoped the attack would halt all resistance to their expansion in China. Americans suffered many losses:…

    All in all, if British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain would have refused to appease Hitler in Munich in September 1938, Germany would have ended up starting the war in europe a year earlier. The result of this would be Germany facing a tough opponent in the Czechs. Other historical instances would have panned out differently as well, like the meeting of Japanese leaders which shows that some of them were firmly against the bombing of Pearl Harbor. All these scenarios lead to different outcomes than originally took place. So let’s say the attack on Pearl Harbor didn’t happen, the United States would have never joined the war. Hitler is then assassinated and President Roosevelt doesn’t serve his third term, causing Robert Taft to be…

    In Pearl Harbor and the Coming of the Pacific War by Akira Iriye, the author explores the events and circumstances that ended in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, an American naval base. Iriye assembles a myriad of primary documents, such as proposals and imperial conferences, as well as essays that offer different perspectives of the Pacific War. Not only is the material in Pearl Harbor and the Coming of the Pacific War informative of the situation between Japan and the United States, but it also provides a global context that allows for the readers to interpret Pearl Harbor and the events leading up to it how they may. Ultimately, both Pearl Harbor and the subsequent Pacific War between Japan and the U.S. were unavoidable due to the fact that neither nation was willing to bow down to the demands of the other.…

    During war times, nations hold the weapons or technology needed to win in high regard and closely guard them by keeping them secret from their enemies. Hitler was a charismatic leader of the Nazi regime with the pipe dream of world supremacy by the “superior race,” Aryan, that had multitudes of secret programs, projects, and covert operations that he held very close as to avoid discovery from opposing nations. It has been concluded, from documents and evidence found post World War II, that Nazi Germany was technologically ahead of the United States by at least ten to twenty years. These Secret programs and projects ranged from military advancement to advancements in everyday life and racial purification.…
