The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military offensive by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor (Hawaii) on the morning of Sunday, December 7, 1941. The attack was intended as a preventive action to prevent the intervention of the Pacific Fleet of the United States in the military actions that in the Empire of Japan was being planned to carry out in Southeast Asia against the overseas possessions of the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands and the United States. The Japanese made this offensive coincide with the attack on the possessions of the British Empire in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, which are already in their possession in mid-February 1942.
