Best Answer

Because Pearl Harbor was only one military base in the US out of 737 total. The attack on Pearl Harbor killed 2390 people. The US military has over one million enlisted personnel. It would be like removing one bee from a bee hive and wondering why you still got stung by the other bees.

The US didn't defeat Japan during the Pearl Harbor attack. I believe they came over, bombed Pearl Harbor, and left. I don't think there was even much a fight during the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The bombing of Pearl Harbor was the reason the US entered WWII.

During the attack the U.S. did not defeat the Japanese. The bombing of Pearl Harbor was a total rout by the Japanese. Many historians believe that the U.S. knew of the attack before it happened because most of the navy's ships were out to sea on maneuvers that day. The U.S. eventually was able to make Japan surrender after dropping Fat Man and Little Boy (the atomic weapons) on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
