The al-Qaeda attack on September 11, 2001 is very similar to the Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor in 1941. Both attacks were defining moments in US history. Both attacks took the country by surprise and rallied its people against a battle against tyranny. Lastly, both of these attacks pushed the United States into declaring war against the country who initiated the attack. These attacks had a strong impact on Americans at the time. It boosted national pride and really brought everyone together. The attacks on 9/11 and at Pearl Harbor were 60 years apart but they were fundamentally the same.
