    the Japanese bombing at Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor was attacked on the morning of December 7‚ 1941 and would prove to be Japan’s greatest mistake‚ a mistake for which the consequences would extend throughout the war and well into Japan’s post-war future. More immediately‚ however‚ it would serve to drop the restraint which the U.S. had maintained as the war had raged on in Europe for over two years.
