The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, marked a significant victory for the Japanese Navy, resulting in extensive destruction of American military assets. In a swift two-hour assault, Japan destroyed 188 planes and severely damaged 18 warships, including the sinking of battleships Arizona and Oklahoma. The attack claimed over 2,400 American lives and left many wounded, while Japan suffered comparatively minor losses. This pivotal event shifted the course of World War II, leading to the United States' entry into the conflict.
