Na te whakaeke i arahi ai te United States ki te uru atu ki te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao i te ra i muri mai. Ko te kaiarahi hoia a Iapani i kii i te whakaeke ko te Mahi a Hawaii me te Mahi AI, me te Mahi Z i te wa e whakamahere ana. I whakaaro a Japan i te whakaeke hei mahi aukati kia kore ai te United States Pacific Fleet e aukati i ana mahi hoia i whakaritea i te Tonga ki te Tonga o Ahia ki nga rohe o tawahi o te United Kingdom, Netherlands, me era o te United States. I roto i ngā haora e whitu, i whakaritea ngā whakaekenga a Hapani ki ngā motu o Piripi, o Guam, o Wake Island, e nohoia ana e te Hononga o Amerika, me te Emepaea o Ingarangi i roto i
Ko Malaya, ko Singapore, ko Hong Kong.
