Detailed Solution

Japan’s attack on the US base at Pearl Harbour persuaded the USA to join the Second World War.
Earlier, the USA resisted entering the war due to numerous economic and social problems the First World War caused. But Japan, one of the Axis powers, began to increase its control in the east, mainly targetting the US naval bases in the water bodies in the Pacific. It only needed one more spark, which came from Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbour. With this attack, the US officially entered the Second World War. The war didn't last much longer since the USA was very powerful, and it ultimately ended with the Allies' victory in 1945.
