    On December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor was attacked by hundreds of Japanese fighter jets. United States had been aware of a possible attack since the 1920s, though tensions did not begin to grow seriously until Japan's 1931 invasion of Manchuria. Although the original plan was that the attack wouldn’t begin until thirty minutes after Japan had informed the United States those peace negotiations was at an end. They attacked with no formal declaration of war. The attack was conducted by Commanders Mitsuo Fuchida and Minoru GendaIt. There were two separate waves off attacks; the second wave being led by Lt. Commander Shigekazu Shimazaki. The first wave was a primary attack, while the second wave was to finish whatever remained. The Pearl Harbor attack plan had two goals; the destruction of American aircraft carriers, and the sinking of as many other capital ships as possible, especially battleships. The Japanese hoped to neutralize the American fleet's ability to project air and sea power in the Pacific Basin for at least six months.
