The attack on Pearl Harbor led to the US to enter into WW II. Approximately 2,403 American soldiers were killed and 1,178 injured in Pearl Harbor. In comparison, only 64 Japanese servicemen were killed. Some believed we knew of the upcoming attack. Several writers alleged that parties high up in the US and British government knew of the attack ahead of time and let it happen or encouraged it. The Americans did not think an attack so close to home could happen, but they thought it would be some far off island. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese against the US naval base. The navy was able to rebound quickly because they did not bomb the oil depot, the shipyard, or the submarine docks. The next day, December 8, 1941, President Roosevelt declared war on Japan
