The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, was ultimately unsuccessful for Japan due to several factors. Key American aircraft carriers were not present during the attack, allowing them to remain operational for future battles. Additionally, the attack failed to destroy critical infrastructure, such as fuel storage and ship repair facilities, enabling the U.S. Navy to recover more quickly than anticipated. Finally, the attack galvanized American public opinion in favor of entering World War II, leading to a unified and determined response against Japan.
