In December 1941, Japanese leadership expected hesitation, debate, and political division in the United States following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Instead, they were confronted with an immediate and unified declaration of war—far faster than anticipated.
This episode examines the critical 24 hours after the attack, focusing on how Japan’s prime minister and senior decision-makers reacted as long-held assumptions about American democracy, public opinion, and industrial mobilization collapsed in real time. Drawing on declassified intelligence assessments, cabinet discussions, and recorded postwar testimonies, the podcast explores how strategic miscalculations shaped one of the most decisive moments of the Second World War.
Rather than retelling the events of Pearl Harbor itself, this documentary looks at what followed—the shock in Tokyo, the reassessment of strategy, and the realization that the conflict would become a prolonged industrial war on a global scale.
This is a story about decisions, not battles—and how a single misjudgment helped reshape the world order for decades to come.
