Hm, not that important of a date here in Europe and/but well known in the US, I assume. Come on Martin - I agree with a lot of your posts that accuse the US of a provinicial world-view, but to say Pearl Harbor was not a date important in world history is ludicrous. He didn't say that, though. It was the precipitating event that drew the US into WWII, which, as I remember, had a pretty large effect on Europe. Saying Pearl Harbor is an unimportant date in European history is like saying the rise of Nazism was unimportant in US history. Probably the Soviet Union had more to do with beating Germany than the US. We were of course by far the biggest factor in beating Japan.
