However Pearl Harbor also gave birth to a new era of patriotism, talent and progression in America.  America rallied out of its Depression and became a true superpower. The country united and thrived because of this sneak attack.  The U.S also developed new technologies, advancements, and strategies because of Pearl Harbor.  These advancements however, did lead to the threat of nuclear war and the atomic bombing of Japan. The bombing of Pearl Harbor was a truly terrible event that forced America into the realities of the modern era.
