Pearl Harbor


On December 7, 1941, the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese navy. This day marked a day that will never be forgotten by United States citizens. As President Franklin D. Roosevelt said in his famous speech, "This is a day that will live in infamy." This attack served as a huge blow to the United States navy. Briefly research how many total military personal and civilians were killed or wounded from the attack? Also, explain how many ships were destroyed or damaged in the unexpected attack on the naval base?
