What happenend to America on December 7, 1941?
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it when the Vietnamese bombed the twin towers and started the Korean War?
I'm a history major in college and my professors are stressing that I need to know this so I want to make sure I do.
Thank you.

On December 7 , 1941, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor , Hawaii Territory , killing more than 2,300 Americans. The U.S.S. Arizona was completely destroyed and the U.S.S. Oklahoma capsized. A total of twelve ships sank or were beached in the attack and nine additional vessels were damaged. More than 160 aircraft were destroyed and more than 150 others damaged. A hurried dispatch from the ranking United States naval officer in Pearl Harbor, Commander in Chief Pacific, to all major navy commands and fleet units provided the first official word of the attack at the ill-prepared Pearl Harbor base. It said simply: AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR X THIS IS NOT DRILL .

Actually it was President Bush who, in that fateful day, said "This is a day that...uh....well....it ain't very good. The Confederates have attacked Puerto Rico and I must go to lead the charge up San Juan Hill. I tried to go earlier excepting that my plane flew off the course to pick me up during my golf game and then it ran into a building that was in the way. It was the building's fault.
I gar-on-tee that will get you an A+.

Japan bombed Pearl Harbour, America got upset, and got involved in World War 2, which ended in December 1945.
