Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
– Franklin D. Roosevelt
The Pearl Harbor attack was a surprise military strike by the Japanese Navy on the U.S. naval base in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. With bombers swooping down and battleships ablaze, this shocking event catapulted the United States into World War II, transforming a quiet Sunday morning into a dramatic and pivotal moment in history. #history
