Moreover, the Japanese wanted to destroy the confidence of the Americans and dispirit them from taking their war to Dutch East Indies and the Eastern Pacific ocean. Japan did not want any country to interfere with it in its conquest of the Southeast Asia. During the attack, Japan targeted the prestigious battleships of the US navy to completely dishearten them from interfering with their mission. The results of the attack were devastating as American lives were lost and the American ships were destroyed and sunk and their planes destroyed on the ground. However, it was not as devastating as the Japanese expected. Some ships were rescued and repaired since they were attacked while on shallow water. Moreover, most of the crew was not in the ships and those injured were rescued through the harbor. Moreover, some American aircraft carriers were not destroyed as they were not on the harbor on that day (Tames 17). The United States and Japan had been having negotiations in order to stop Japan from continuing to expand aggressively in Asia. However, the negotiations did not progress well as Japan did not want to give in to the US demands. Therefore, in order to get the United States out of their way, they launched a surprise attack using two battleships, six aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers, nine destroyers, three submarines and one light cruiser. After the attacks, the US officially joined the World War II and declared war on Japan. They joined the war to avenge the losses they had incurred in terms of human lives and ships (Tames 23).

The United States and Japan had been having negotiations in order to stop Japan from continuing to expand aggressively in Asia. However, the negotiations did not progress well as Japan did not want to give in to the US demands. Therefore, in order to get the United States out of their way, they launched a surprise attack using two battleships, six aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers, nine destroyers, three submarines and one light cruiser. After the attacks, the US officially joined the World War II and declared war on Japan. They joined the war to avenge the losses they had incurred in terms of human lives and ships (Tames 23).

The attacks on Pearl Harbor greatly affected the outcome of World War II. The United States, a very powerful nation, was not involved in the war at first. But after the attacks on Pearl Harbor, the US became actively involved and helped the allies to subdue their enemies. Their involvement ensured the defeat of Germany and Japan. Germany had been the major power in Europe while in Asia, Japan had held that position. The Soviet Union and the United states became the major world powers with the defeat of Germany and Japan and after Great Britain, France and China were financially exhausted and devastated by the war (Tames 29).

The entry of the United States into World War II after Japan attacked the Pearl Harbor significantly impacted on the outcome of the war.
