The effect of the attack of Pearl Harbor was that it forced the U.S. into a war with Japan; a war that ended in the unleashing of the worlds first, and hopefully last, use of a nuclear bomb in an attempt to defeat an enemy.
On December 7, 1941 Japan attacked the US Navy at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. They surprised the US and sunk many ships. However, this attack did not have the effect the Japanese had hoped.
