If Japan Had Not Attacked Pearl Harbor, History Would Have Been Different

Pearl Harbor survivor Bill Johnson reads the list of names inscribed in the USS Arizona Memorial.

Pearl Harbor was one of the major turning points of World War II.

Japan’s devastating attack was a surprise assault, resulting in the loss of two US Navy battleships and the deaths of over 2,000 people, both military and civilian.

The attack led to the USA declaring war on Japan in the Pacific Theatre, and ultimately to the destruction of the Axis powers.

However, what if Japan had never actually bombed Pearl Harbor? How could the events in history have played out?

We will never know for sure, but it’s certainly worth investigating further.
