On this 70th anniversary, we remember those
who were killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor. With Germany's army raging across Europe, the
Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 transformed
the war into a global conflict. The United States
immediately declared war on Japan and on December 11, Germany
declared war on the United States. Adolf Hitler was convinced he
could not lose the war, but in this he fatally underestimated
the massive and as yet unrealized potential of the American war
machine. Germany and Japan would both surrender in 1945,
putting an end to World War II.
