On this day, in 1941, the Japanese Navy, Air Service did the biggest favor to England and to the rest of Europe, when they bombed in a sneak attack, part of the U.S. Pacific fleet, anchored in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The following day, Germany declared war on the U.S.A.
As an obvious direct consequence the isolationist mood of the people of America changed dramatically, allowing President Roosevelt to actively assist Great Britain in its struggle against Nazi Germany. The overpowering might of production and its military strength ultimately enabled the United States of America together with its allied forces to defeat the most brutal dictatorship Europe had ever known.
So lets all give a heartfelt "Thank You" to the Japanese for their ill-considered, cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor.
