Explanation:

The Pearl Harbor attack was a surprise attack on the American Navy by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service. Pearl Harbor is located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The date of this attack was 7th December 1941. The Japanese military referred to this operation as Hawaii's operation. It led to the entry of the US in the second world war. The attack was aimed at preventing the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering in the Japanese operation in Southeast Asia as the Japanese believed that if they neutralize the US Pacific fleet it would be easier for them to conquer Southeast Asia.
