On Sunday 7th December 1941, American neutrality in the Second World War ends when Japanese forces conduct a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii. Over 400 planes from six Japanese carriers bombed the harbour and airfield, and within two hours much of the American Pacific fleet was rendered useless. Losses were devastating: Five of eight battleships, three destroyers, and seven other ships were sunk or severely damaged, and more than half the islandâ€™s aircraft were destroyed. Fortunately for the Americans, all three U.S. Pacific fleet carriers were out at sea. A total of 2,400 Americans were killed and 1,200 were wounded in the attack. Japanâ€™s losses were 29 planes and four midget submarines. The next day, Japan attacked the Philippines, Malaya, Thailand and Hong Kong, while Britain and the United States declared war on Japan.

I assume you are just being silly but being from Singapore you might not know. The Japanese bombed the American fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This was an unprovoked attack and led to the US declaring war on Japan and the other two Axis members, Germany and Italy. As you know that didn't really work out well for Japan in the end.
