Answer:

It was a tactical victory but strategic failure for the Japanese; Despite the number of battleships sunk and the number of U.S. personnel killed, the Japanese omitted destroying REPAIR SHOPS AND FUEL DEPOTS. Given superior U.S. industrial complex, this meant Pearl Harbour was still capable of logistical support, and the U.S. navy was able to recover their losses . They WOKE a sleeping giant; it convinced the U.S. to JOIN WW2. Millions in manpower, plus a FORMIDABLE industrial complex that could outpace Axis manufacturing at the time even when it wasn’t even at FIRST GEAR.
