from wikipedia:
The attack on Pearl Harbor[nb 4] was a surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, in the United States Territory of Hawaii, on the morning of December 7, 1941. The attack led to the United States' entry into World War II.

Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions the Empire of Japan planned in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States. There were near-simultaneous Japanese attacks on the U.S.-held Philippines, Guam and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong.[13] The attacks - from troop landings at Kota Bharu, Malaya, to the air attacks ranging geographically from Hong Kong to Pearl Harbor - took place over seven hours.

The attack came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters. The following day, December 8, the United States declared war on Japan.[18] Domestic support for non-interventionism, which had been fading since the German attack on France in 1940,[19] disappeared. Clandestine support of the United Kingdom (e.g., the Neutrality Patrol) was replaced by active alliance. Subsequent operations by the U.S. prompted Germany and Italy to declare war on the U.S. on December 11, which was reciprocated by the U.S. the same day.

I wonder if they all would take it back if they had any inkling what weaponry the Pacific Front would lead to creating...

I imagine knowledge of certain defeat would have made them want to not attack yes. But it would also mean abandoning their efforts in China. The second Sino Japanese War was a big mistake.

Then again, if it never starts, we might end up with an ultra nationalistic Japan in the 21st century that still controls Korea and Manchuria. Possible knock on effect - Communists probably lose Chinese civil war.

This should be in the library or elsewhere, it's not CoH 2 related. However, I can't/don't know how to move it.

And one can still wonder what would have happened to the US Pacific Fleet if the Japanase did indeed destroy the dry docks and Oil Reserves as they had intended in wave 3 and 4.

Well, it's not like you need to melt steel in order to bend it. :P

That aside, we need a Day of Infamy speech from VonIvan. :P
