What happened when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor?
They awoke a sleeping gaint and filled it with deadly resolve.This is what Admiral Yamamoto,CIC,OF THE Imperial Japanese fleet said to one of his junior staff officers aboard his flag ship-the battleship Yamato after the news was brought to him by another officer. The biggest mistake that the Japanese made was that the attack on Pearl Harbor began hours before the Japanese Ambassador and a special Envoy delivered a message to the U.S. Government.
