The Attack on Pearl Harbor

December 7, 1941

"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 ..."  

Over 3400 Americans died when the Empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. The next day, the United States declares war on Japan and thus enters into World War II.
