Recount Text: Attack on Pearl Harbor




On 7 December 1941, Japan stroke the military base of Pearl Harbor. The base was owned by the US Navy. Their fleet harboured dozens of battleships and hundreds of aircraft.

The assault began at 7:48 am Hawaiian Time. The base was indeed by Japanese aircraft and submarines. They bombarded torpedoes to all US battleships.

Thousands of Americans were killed in the process. The US were suffering heavy casualties. On the other side, Japan received light casualties, with only a few shots sunk.

After the attack, the Americans declared war against Japan, which led to World War II. USA President Roosevelt executed Order 9066 to all Japanese-Americans in America.
