As you should probably know, this bombing got the United States into World War II. It led, therefore, to the defeat of Japan, but also to the defeat of Germany.
Before Pearl Harbor, Americans were dead set against getting involved in this war. They felt it did not have to do with them. But once Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Americans were gung ho to join the war and get revenge.
The Pearl Harbor attack led to Germany declaring war on the US and that really hurt Germany because US production capabilities (as well as soldiers) were a large part of defeating Germany.
