what year did the americans attack japan after pearl harbor.?

Answer 1

April 18, 1942 Col James Doolitle and 79 brave american pilots took off in 16 specially fitted B-25 bombers from the deck of the
HORNETT aircraft carrier and succeeded in dropping bombs on Tokyo, doing some small damage but lifting the spirits and hopes of the Allies that were very low at the time. He proved that we could strike back , but many pilots were lost. 69 returned and many were forced to land in China which was friendly to us and an ally at the time. This upset the Japanese public very much as they thought they were safe and invincible so it was a major win in the psychological battle but a minor win in military damage.

Answer 2

Well... the war didn't effectually start until 1942. Pearl Harbor was attacked in December of 41, and by the time war was declared and a (new) fleet mobilized, it was 42. The fighting that occured in 41 was mainly Japan attacking us, not the other way around.

Answer 3

In the Pacific Theater, the battles were mostly "island-hopping," beginning in late 1942. Major naval battles which helped turn the tide of the war in the Pacific were those of The Coral Sea and Midway.

It wasn't until 1945 that Okinawa, considered by the Japanese to be a part of their "home turf," to borrow a contemporary expression, was invaded by the Allies. Once victory was declared in Europe (May 8, 1945), the US began to gear up for an invasion of the Japanese home islands.

The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of that year led to the surrender of the Japanese.
