On the 7th of December, 1941, at the height of World War II, Japan launched a surprise attack on the United State of America, which had until then been a neutral country. At 7:55am, the first of two waves of Japanese aircraft were launched from carriers off the shores of Hawaii. From a clear blue sky, they honed in on Pearl Harbour - a naval base on the island of O’ahu - and decimated it and the ships which were moored there. The attack, which was launched without warning, has gone down as a pivotal moment in the history of the world – an atrocity that caused America to finally enter, and ultimately help put an end to, the war.
