A woman in a green jacket is looking out over water. The camera she has on her lap appears to be focused at the same spot as what's ahead of it, and perhaps she’s taking pictures or filming something beyond the horizon. In the background we can see several boats that seem like small vessels used for transportation across the bay.

↪On the same day as the attack, #Japan invaded Malaya, #Singapore, #HongKong and attacked the #Philippines, #Guam and #WakeIsland.

The air assault killed 2,403 Americans and destroyed a number of battleships and other vessels, as well as important facilities on #PearlHarbor.

It shocked the American public and directly led them to declare #war on #Japan the following day.
Adolf #Hitler responded by declaring war on the US on 11 December, firmly bringing #America into both fronts of the war.
