Unprecedented PEACE (eventually) follows Pearl Harbor Attack

Eighty-three years ago the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. While at the same time negotiating for peace, their evil and vicious government mounted a sneak attack, designed to kill as many Americans as possible, without a declaration of war. That attack was the beginning of the end of WWII, and the war itself heralded a long period of peace, thanks to the United States. The greatest war in a long progression of Eastern-Hemisphere wars, it has been so far the last of its kind, thanks to the benevolence of the United States, for did this attack on America led to the end of the war, and it also catalyzed decades of global peace and prosperity. The attack by Japan in 1941 accidentally or fatefully set the stage for a Pax Americana that has benefited much of the world in the decades since.
