Pearl Harbor, Hawaii: Just before 8:00 a.m. HST on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, Japanese fighter bombers and torpedo planes staged a sneak attack on the United States Naval Base.
The attack destroyed nearly 20 American naval vessels, including 8 enormous battleships and almost 200 airplanes, and killed more than 2,000 Americans soldiers and sailors as well as wounded 1,000 people.
A day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war on Japan and entered World War 2.
In a speech to United States Congress, United States President Franklin Roosevelt stated that the bombing of Pearl Harbor is, "A date which will live in infamy."
