Pearl Harbor?

Hey everyone. I was just wondering what pearl harbor was. Thanks!
Pearl Harbor?
Pearl Harbor is a harbor on the island of O驶ahu, Hawaii, west of Honolulu. Much of the harbor and surrounding lands is a United States Navy deep-water naval base. It is also the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan on December 7, 1941 brought the United States into World War II.

However Pearl Harbor is better known for the suprise Japanese aerial attack on our Naval Ships and air installations on December 7 ,1941. The attack caught the US navy off guard causing the sinking of several US ships and the loss of about 2,100 American sailors and soilders. This attack is what pushed the United States into WWII.
