Japan bombed pearl harbor as an attempt to keep the United States out of the war. They snuck planes in and bombed us early in the morning to take out ships and planes. They hoped we wouldn't be able to join the war because of the damage but instead brought us into it. There was a message sent out that it was happening and our government intercepted it but by the time we got it the damage was done. There were a total of 2,403 people killed. 63 civilians and the rest military.
Hope this helps. Anymore questions feel free to message me!
What story does this go to?
