Pearl Harbor
The attack on Pearl Harbor was on December 7th 1941 on Hawaii, that's why it is also called the "Hawaii Operation".
Over 2400 Americans died and more than 1200 were wounded aswell, but only about 70 japanese people died
The Japanese attacked the United States surprisingly with a total of 353 japanese military planes and after this attack the United States definitely joined World War II.
During the 1930s tensions between the two countries steadily increased and in 1940 the United States warned Japan aginst marching in Indochina and when Japan did it anyhow the United States stopped importing oil and steel to Japan.
In eleven days the japanese planes flew unnoticed to Hawaii. The main goals of this attack were: neutralization of the pacific navy, elimination of the base Pearl Harbor and the elimination of the american air force. The attack was arranged by Kido Butai.
Because the United States didn't reckon with an attack from Japan everything wasn't locked.
