The attack on Pearl Harbour was the latest action in a string of agressive actions that finally made the American public realise that war could not be avoided and would come further into American waters if left unchallenged

-------------------------------------------------------Simple justice mandated entry into WW II after the "unprovoked and dastardly" attack on the US Fleet. The human cost of 2,403 lives and 1,104 wounded could not be overlooked.

The Japanese made a surprise attack on the American forces located at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii without a declaration of war. Hawaii was a territory of the United States, therefore it was an attack on America. The Japanese also attacked American forces in the Philippines, Guam, and Wake. The United States declared war on Japan the next day, December 8, 1941 (US time zones).

The attack on Pearl Harbor occured on December 7th, 1941. The attacks provoked the United States as the attacks had no warning and caused a significant amount of damage to the United State's supplies.

This lead to Roosevelt declaring war with Japan the day after the attack.
