Best Answer

The Japanese hoped to completely destroy the American Navy at Pearl Harbour, and so prevent the USA from interfering with the Japanese conquests in Asia. The attack had the reverse result, bringing the USA directly into World War II, by declaring war on Japan. Adolf Hitler (due to a treaty with Japan) declared war of the USA a few days later. Fortunately, the American aircraft carriers were at sea on manoeuvres during the attack and were safe.
