Why Is Pearl Harbor Successful

The attack on Pearl Harbor was seen as a massive success in some people’s eyes, but in others it was seen as a massive failure. There were a few goals that japan were trying to get out of Pearl Harbor. The attack on Pearl Harbor was an attempt to try and scare the Americans. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in hopes that is would destroy the US pacific fleet. They thought that the defeat at Pearl Harbor would be so devastating that they would give up strait away. The Japanese thought that once they had defeated them they would sink deeper into isolationism which meant that they could rein free and take over East Asia. The attack on Pearl Harbor back fired for the Japanese because it didn’t make them fall apart, it made them stronger, to become
The Japanese actually attacked them, so that means that the actual mission wasn’t a failure. The Japanese managed to attack the US without no warning. The Japanese managed to reach Pearl Harbor by flying a northern rout, rarely used by merchant ships. One of the biggest factors which helped the Japanese attack in secret was that they turned off their radios. The British intelligence intercepted some radio calls that the Japanese were transmitting, and the British could pinpoint where the Japanese ships where. The Japanese caught wind that the British knew their exact location of their ships. There Japanese now had a strict order that there was to be no use of any radios. All of the air patrols were also ordered not to be used because there was a big possibility that the air patrols would use radio to send a message. There was no use of air patrol until the morning of the attack. This allowed the Japanese transport all airplanes and the aircraft carriers without anyone knowing where they are. The airplane carriers were carrying all the planes that would attack in the first

Japan managed to attack the battleship row, which was where all the battleships were docked. This was a main target for japan. They didn’t manage to wreck all of the ships but they did manage to sink some and severely damage others. The loss of the battleships really weakened their side. This gave the us more of a chance to expand their empire.

I think that overall the attack on the US wasn’t very successful because it was a really big attack and it really didn’t do much. It didn’t really help the Japanese in what they wanted to do. The Japanese also set many goals from Pearl Harbor but they didn’t complete many of them. It wasn’t a success because their main goal was to destroy the pacific, and they weren’t able to do that. It didn’t destroy the Americans it made them stronger and ready for
