As later results would prove, the aircraft carrier was the dominant ship in the navy. By not sinking the American carriers, the Japanese left the American left fleet largely intact. Of the 21 ships that were sunk on December 7, 1941, all but three were eventually refitted and sailed again under the American flag during the war. When U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan the day after the attack, the answer was a resounding yes. An American that had been deeply divided over how much aid to give the Allies was not united in a common purpose: make the Japanese pay for their attack and rid the world of Nazism and Fascism.
Nimitz directed a small but more skillfully maneuvered carrier force which was crucial in America’s victory, the battle of Midway along with the victory in the Coral Sea halted Japan’s juggernaut, Japan’s “victory disease” had overextended them and led to their downfall Island Hopping Strategy- how America won the war in the Pacific, American forces would cross a great distance by going on short voyages from island to island, the American forces won each island as they progressed and eventually it led them to mainland Japan Potsdam Conference- Truman met with Stalin and British leaders and issued an ultimatum to Japan, you must either surrender or be destroyed, American bombers showered the warning on Japan by dropping tens of thousands of leaflets but there was no sign of Japenese surrender.

This was a devastating attack on the U.S nation and many lives were lost. Japan deceived America into thinking they wanted peace with America while planning the attack.
