| abstract | - The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the morning of 13 December 1938. The attack would lead the beginning of the Pacific War, and the American Pacific-Asiatic Zone's entry into the war. By 1938 the US remnants of the Pacific were desperate for supplies and humanitarian aid, causing the nations of Hawaii, Alaska, the Philippines, and military territories on the mainland to create an elaborate network of trading and shipping lanes, connecting the various territories through trade. Utilizing the extensive Pacific Fleet operating in the area around the time of the eruption, the various US remnant states of the Pacific would eventually create a stable shipping network between west and east, stretching from the British and Dutch empires of the Pacific and Asia to the west, reaching to the Philippines, Hawaii, and lastly the mainland. The Japanese sought to remove this trade network, which to this point had managed to supply and aid its various enemies in Southeast Asia, including the colonial empires of Britain and the Dutch. The attack was also intended as a preventive action in order to keep the US Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions the Empire of Japan was planning in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and fellow Pacific remnants. There were simultaneous Japanese attacks on the US remnant of the Philippines and on the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
