The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, resulted in the entry of the US into WWII.

Explanation:

On December 7th, 1941, the Japanese navy launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The attack was intended as a preventative measure to keep the US Navy's Pacific Fleet from going to sea. Many airplanes and ships were damaged or destroyed, the most well-known of these being the battleship USS Arizona . The nature of the attack angered the US government and population (President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously called the date "a date which will live in infamy"), and the US declared war on Japan on December 8th, formally entering into WWII.
