Detailed Solution

Japan attacked the American base at Pearl Harbor, forcing the USA to enter WWII.
Japan attacked the US naval station in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, early on December 7, 1941. Approximately 350 Japanese aircraft launched a surprise attack that resulted in the destruction or severe damage of 18 US naval warships, including eight battleships, 300 US aircraft and the deaths of 2,403 men. Americans were astounded, appalled, and incensed across the country. The incident helped the US public support joining the Second World War. The formal American declaration of war on Japan occurred on December 8, 1941. On December 11, Germany and Italy—allies of Japan—declared war on the United States. The United States responded similarly, leading to its entry into World War II.
