7th December 1941.
History sometimes takes place over long periods of time; sometimes it can occur in a single day. This high-drama series looks at those momentous days in the last century when great and terrible things transpired within 24 hours which would leave an impact on the history of the world for decades afterwards.
On 7 December 1941, Japanese aircraft carried out a devastating surprise bombing raid on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. This single act drew the United States into conflict with both Japan and her ally Germany, and marked a turning point in the course of the Second World War.
So what made Japan attack the Untied States - the strongest country in the world? How did the attack influence the outcome of the war? In what way would the world we live in be different today if the attack on Pearl Harbor had never occurred?
These questions are considered in this compelling account of one day that shook the world.
