December+7,+1941



On December 7, 1941 the Japanese made their first military strike on the United States. That morning, Japanese bomber plains took off with special torpedoes and headed for the Hawaii port of Pearl Harbor. They arrived at around nine o'clock in the morning and began bombing aircraft carriers, boats, air fields and any other military facility on the island. The attack lasted only an hour or two, yet destroyed 188 aircraft carriers, and caused personnel losses of 2,402 killed and 1,282 wounded. The United States was then pulled into World War Two by this conflict and later defeated Japan and the other Axis-powers.
