Japanese bombing of the US naval base at Pearl Harbour compelled the USA to enter WWII on December 7, 1941. A surprise attack by about 350 Japanese aircraft led to the loss of 2,403 soldiers and the destruction or significant damage to 18 US navy warships, including eight battleships. Across the nation, many were stunned, horrified, and outraged. The episode increased support for US involvement in the Second World War. As of December 8, 1941, the United States was at war with Japan. The United States and Japan's allies, Germany and Italy, declared war on December 11. Similar actions by the United States resulted in the country's involvement in World War II.
