Attack on Pearl Harbor
On December 7th , 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor . President Franklin Roosevelt declared it ,“ A day that will live in infamy . ” Pearl Harbor was the second biggest attack on American soil . This was no doubt an underhanded attack . Japan hoped they could take out their biggest and strongest opponent the United States Navy . They also hoped such a big attack would frighten the U . S . into staying neutral . They failed as America entered the war soon after . Four years later Japan surrendered after the U . S . dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki . World War 2 was finally over .
