Invading Pearl Harbor 1941?

On my Pacific War videos I quite regularly get comments of people suggesting the Japanese should have invaded Pearl Harbor (Oahu) and/or the Big Island (Hawaii) in the initial surprise attack on 7th December 1941.

Excellent presentation! A few comments: 1. The assembling of a Hawaiian invasion force would have made maintaining secrecy far more difficult for the Japanese carrier attack. 2. People really seem to overlook or just ignore the sailing times involved for merchant ships. Forgetting loading and unloading for a second — just sailing to Hawaii and back would have taken around 40 days. In the Pacific War logistics ruled the battlefield.

thank you! 1) yeah, I kinda did not point that out explicitly bit of an oversight, especially considering the high secrecy surrounding the operation. 2) agree, it is basically an L-Factor (logistics) and for most "that is not fun" or whatever. The more I work on my channel the more I realize that A LOT simply comes down to logistics pure and simple.

Thanks for your detailed analysis it was very interesting but in all truth how did the Japanese leaders think they could ever win a war against the United States, it beggars belief.

they actually gave it a 50 % chances, yet what is more important, they assumed if they would not attack, they would lose definitely since the embargo hit Japan hard.
