Why is Pearl harbor so well known?
The reason why Pearl Harbor is so well know is that it is the location of the United States Naval Fleet that was bombed by the Japanese Imperial Navy on December 7, 1941. It was the cause of the US entering World War 2. At Pearl Harbor now there is a memorial of the USS Arizona and another ship. Many veteran naval men have had their remains put down in the water with the USS Arizona. There are many special events conducted at that National Park in Pearl Harbor yearly.

The Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii is what finally brought the US into World War II. There was massive devastation as this large naval installation was caught entirely unaware.

There is a memorial to one of the ships that went down in relatively shallow water in the harbor, the USS Arizona. Many visitors of all nationalities visit it every day.
