History

The unprovoked attack by Imperial Japan was aimed at disabling the United States Navy and its ability to respond to other Japanese provocations in the region. While Pearl Harbor was the largest and most devastating attack at the time, it was actually one of several planned attacks. Imperial Japan needed resources at this point in the war and planned to target colonial assets of Britain, the Netherlands, and the United States across the South Pacific and East Asia. At the same time Pearl Harbor was attacked, Japanese forces launched attacks against the Philippines, Guam, Wake Island, Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
