the Pearl Harbor attack looked like a success for Japan. Its bombers hit all eight U. S. battleships, sinking four and damaging four others, destroyed or damaged more than 300 aircraft and killed some 2,400 Americans at Pearl Harbor.
Japanese forces went on to capture a string of current and former Western colonial possessions by early 1942-including Burma (now Myanmar), British Malaya (Malaysia and Singapore), the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) and the Philippines-giving them access to these islands' plentiful natural resources, including oil and rubber.
But the Pearl Harbor attack had failed in its objective to completely destroy the Pacific Fleet. The Japanese bombers missed oil tanks, ammunition sites and repair facilities, and not a single U. S. aircraft carrier was present during the attack. In June 1942, this failure came to haunt the Japanese, as U. S. forces scored a major victory in the Battle of Midway, decisively turning the tide of war in the Pacific.
