The operation began on December 7, 1941, with a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. The attack was carried out by a fleet of Japanese aircraft and submarines, and it caused extensive damage to the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
In the days following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Axis powers launched a series of additional attacks on U.S. targets. These attacks included bombings of Guam, Wake Island, and the Philippines. The Axis also launched a submarine campaign against U.S. shipping in the Atlantic Ocean.
The United States was unprepared for the Axis attacks, and it took several weeks for the country to recover from the initial shock. However, the United States eventually rallied and began to fight back against the Axis powers.
The First Week of Operation Bismarck
The first week of Operation Bismarck was a period of intense fighting and heavy losses for both sides. The Axis powers made significant gains in the Pacific, but the United States was able to hold on to its positions in the Atlantic.
The Attack on Pearl Harbor
The attack on Pearl Harbor was the most significant event of the first week of Operation Bismarck. The attack was a complete surprise, and it caused extensive damage to the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
The attack began at 7:55 AM on December 7, 1941, when a wave of Japanese aircraft attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor. The attack lasted for two hours, and it involved over 350 Japanese aircraft.
The attack on Pearl Harbor killed over 2,400 Americans and destroyed or damaged over 19 ships, including eight battleships. The attack also destroyed over 180 aircraft.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was a major turning point in World War II. It brought the United States into the war, and it led to the eventual defeat of the Axis powers.
Other Attacks in the First Week
In addition to the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Axis powers launched a series of other attacks in the first week of Operation Bismarck.
On December 8, 1941, the Japanese bombed Guam and Wake Island. The attacks caused significant damage to both islands, and they forced the U.S. to evacuate its forces.
On December 10, 1941, the Japanese invaded the Philippines. The invasion was successful, and the Japanese quickly overran the U.S. forces on the islands.
In the Atlantic Ocean, the Axis powers launched a submarine campaign against U.S. shipping. The submarines sank several U.S. ships, and they caused significant disruption to U.S. shipping lanes.
The U.S. Response
The United States was unprepared for the Axis attacks, and it took several weeks for the country to recover from the initial shock.
However, the United States eventually rallied and began to fight back against the Axis powers.
On December 8, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan. The United States also began to mobilize its military and industrial resources.
In the Pacific, the United States launched a series of counterattacks against the Japanese. These counterattacks were initially unsuccessful, but they eventually helped to slow the Japanese advance.
In the Atlantic, the United States began to escort its ships with destroyers and other warships. This helped to reduce the number of ships that were sunk by Axis submarines.
