   Attack on Pearl Harbor (偷袭珍珠港)

 

Location: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Date: 7 December, 1941


Countries: Japan vs. United States

Aircraft carriers: Japan: 6 fleet carriers (Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, Shokaku, and Zuikaku)

Result: Japan's military strike sank four U.S. battleships and two destroyers, damaged many ships, and caused the loss of 2,000 American soldiers. It came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters.
