'''Pearl Harbor''' is an American [[lagoon]] [[harbor]] on the island of [[Oahu]], [[Hawaii]], west of [[Honolulu, Hawaii|Honolulu]]. It has been long visited by the Naval fleet of the United States, before it was acquired from the Hawaiian Kingdom by the U.S. with the signing of the [[Reciprocity Treaty of 1875]]. Much of the harbor and surrounding lands is now a [[United States Navy]] deep-water naval base. It is also the headquarters of the [[United States Pacific Fleet]]. The U.S. government first obtained exclusive use of the inlet and the right to maintain a repair and coaling station for ships here in 1887.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/u/the-us-navy-and-hawaii-a-historical-summary/pearl-harbor-its-origin-and-administrative-history.html | title=Pearl Harbor: Its Origin and Administrative History Through World War II | publisher=Naval History and Heritage Command | date=April 23, 2015}}</ref> The [[attack on Pearl Harbor]] by the [[Empire of Japan]] on December 7, 1941, was the immediate cause of the [[United States]]' entry into [[World War II]].<ref>{{cite video |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrVI6ENDL8Y |title=FDR Pearl Harbor Speech |date=December 8, 1941 | accessdate=2011-02-05 |quote=December 7th, 1941, a day that will live in infamy.}}</ref><ref name = nrhpinv>{{Cite web | last = Apple | first = Russell A. |author2=Benjamin Levy | title = Pearl Harbor | work = National Register of Historic Places - Nomination and Inventory | publisher = [[National Park Service]] | date = February 8, 1974 | url = {{NHLS url|id=66000940}} | format = pdf | accessdate = 25 May 2012}}</ref><ref name = nrhpphotos>{{Cite web | title = Pearl Harbor | work = Photographs | publisher = [[National Park Service]] | url = {{NHLS url|id=66000940|photos=y}}| format = pdf | accessdate = 25 May 2012}}</ref>
