the war may have had a different ending.

---

The atomic program was approved on October 9 1941. On December 18 1941 it was moved into urgency because of the declaration of war. The plan was finalized in May 23 1942.

If Japan had wiped out the fuel storage on Pearl the Manhattan project would have began even sooner.

The battles would have been fought differently but the ending would have been the same. We might have dropped the bomb a couple of months earlier.
