Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

On December 8, 1941, the United States Congress declared war (Pub.L. 77–328, 55 Stat. 795) on the Empire of Japan in response to that country's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor the prior day. It was formulated an hour after the Infamy Speech of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Japan had sent a message to their embassy in Washington, but because of problems in decoding and typing out the very long message – the high-security level assigned to the declaration meant that only personnel with very high clearances could decode it, which slowed down the process – it was not delivered to the U.S. Secretary of State until after the Pearl Harbor attack. Following the U.S. declaration, Japan's allies, Germany and Italy, declared war on the United States, bringing the United States fully into World War II.

Answer:

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor made the Americans no only entry in the war but to advance in the conflict. They were determined to revenge this attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

The attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, carried out on December 7, 1941, marked the beginning of the conflict between the United States and Japan during World War II. This attack was an attempt - unsuccessful - to destroy the United States naval fleet that was in Hawaii. The complete destruction of the American fleet was essential for Japan to continue its project of conquest and territorial expansion over the Pacific islands.
