In what year did the attack on Pearl Harbor take place?

• A. 1939
• B. 1941
• C. 1945
• D. 1950

Answer: (B)

The attack on Pearl Harbor happened in 1941. On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise strike on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, which brought the United States into World War II. The other years refer to different moments: 1939 marks the start of World War II in Europe, 1945 is when Japan surrendered and the war ended, and 1950 is the start of the Korean War. So the correct year is 1941.
