The two-hour attack left 2,403 Americans dead and 1,178 injured, and was followed by a formal declaration of war against the United States. Japanese pilots targeted Army, Navy, and Marine airfields, and then naval ships at Pearl Harbor, with the aim of devastating the entire US Pacific fleet.
on Sunday, December 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack against US armed forces in Hawaii. On November 26, 1941, the main body of attack force began moving toward Hawaii. For eleven months, the Japanese continued to refine their plans while at the same time working diplomatically to relieve tensions with the United States.
