It's a day of remembrance

The attack on Pearl Harbor took place on 7 December 1941. This is the first attack on US territory since 1812. 2343 Americans were killed in the attack and 916 are missing. The attack was a precaution against the United States, aimed at eliminating the U.S. Navy, Air control and subsequent hostilities in the Pacific. The attack included two air strikes from Japanese aircraft carriers.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was the main reason why the United States joined the Second World War. As a result of this attack, public opinion in the United States is very different from isolated positions. President Franklin Roosevelt said it would be a "day of eternal disgrace and Disgrace" in history. The next day, Congress announced that the United States would take military action against Japan.
