The correct answer is B) Hawaii was where a large portion of the Pacific fleet was sheltered.

Japan’s attack on Hawaii was a strategic move because Hawaii was where a large portion of the Pacific fleet was sheltered.

During the Pacific Ocean scenario in World War II, the Japanese army knew they had to move strategically and make effective decisions to cause damage to the United States in the Pacific Islands. That is why the Japanese decided to attack the island of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. The Japanese army knew that an important US fleet was sheltered in Pearl Harbor such as the Battleship Division 1, 2 and 4, with big ships such as USS Arizona, Nevada, California, Maryland, Colorado, among many others. The Japanese attack killed approximately 2,300 US citizens and destroyed most of the navy vessels anchored there.
