Without imported oil, Japan’s industrial and military infrastructure would collapse. Prime Minister Hideki Tojo promised Emperor Hirohito he would attempt to make peace with the U.S. Instead, he ordered an attack on the U.S. military base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The U.S. navy’s Pacific Fleet was stationed at the base.

The attack resulted in over 3,000 American casualties and the destruction of nearly the entire Pacific Fleet. Roosevelt called it “a date which will live in infamy.” The United States declared war on Japan the next day. Italy and Germany then declared war on the United States.
