Question

How did the United States respond
to the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor?

Answer 1

The Soviet Union declared war on Japan, and then the United States dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. After the bombing, Japan accepted the Potsdam terms and unconditionally surrendered to the United States.

Answer 2

The United States responded with the mobilization of troops, and the declaration of war against Japan, and later Germany & Italy. They also rounded up Issei & Nisei (Japanese-immigrants & Generational Japanese-American) to concentration-like camps, and kept them there mostly to the end of the war. The US then adopted the Europe-First! strategy, in which they would defeat the stronger axis power Germany, before focusing on the defeating Japan.
