Japan officially declared war on the
United States at 11:40 a.m., December 7,1941, four hours after the
attack on Pearl Harbor had started. Once the news of the attack
on Pearl Harbor spread throughout the United States, the feelings
of most Americans changed. Previously, many had thought that the war
in Europe had nothing to do with them. They also thought that the
Japanese wouldn't attack the big and powerful United States. But on
the afternoon of December 7, many Americans began to shout, "Remember
Pearl Harbor!" and they were ready to go to war. The attack on
Pearl Harbor did something the Japanese government did not plan on
--- unite America.
