For two hours, the Japanese barrage destroyed nearly 20 American naval vessels and almost 200 airplanes. More than 2,000 American soldiers and sailors were killed that day, and another 1,000 were wounded.

The next day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan. The United States had now officially entered World War II.
