Let me generalize it.
People were once nomads. They went from place to place; the men hunted, while the women picked berries and tended to the children.
Then agriculture was invented. Because of this, the nomads no longer had to move from place to place. They started producing food, and the longer they stayed, the more people that formed that one place. Soon, production left over surpluses — a ton of agricultural product, way more than the new society could handle. That is when rules come in place, especially as agriculture becomes a big trade asset. Guards are made to protect the surplus, and an emperor is appointed, either by force or by ‘divinity’ (one such story could be that he prayed for rain and then rain came, and everyone praised him). From there, the society continues to grow and divide as men and women take on different roles, and different classes are created for different purposes (serfs to tend to agriculture, merchants to transport and trade it, etc.). Over time the society grows into an empire
The name was changed from New Netherlands to New York
The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory, on the morning of December 7, 1941. The attack, also known as the Battle of Pearl Harbor, led to the United States' entry into World War II. The Japanese military leadership referred to the attack as the Hawaii Operation and Operation AI, and as Operation Z during its planning.
Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions they planned in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States. Over the next seven hours there were coordinated Japanese attacks on the U.S.-held Philippines, Guam and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
