Attack on Pearl Harbor

Throughout World War II, Japan was most known for having the most barbaric treatments in their prison camps. Unlike other prison camps around the world, Japan had a tendency of torturing their prisoners not only physically but mentally. While countries like Germany and Russia only starved and forced labor on their prisoners, Japan tortured their prisoners mentally to the point of insanity (Japanese Treatment of World War II). Throughout one of the camps in Japan there laid a famous Olympic…

Another important cause for the disastrous attack on Pearl by the Japanese was that President Roosevelt furthered its “Moral Embargo” by expanding its restrictions to oil and scrap metal to stop Japan from expanding. At the beginning of 1900’s Japan was falling apart as they were running out of raw materials and oil. Japan decided that to survive they had to expand within Asia to get more materials so they invaded French Indochina in 1940 to embargo all imports to China which included war…

WWII was a turning point for American and its people, because it changed the status of the US. The home front changed with migration, there was a new race, gender, and new economic opportunities. The USG mobilized the industry, labor, and science/technology. The nation was unprepared for war. The war initially went bad for Allies. Hitler dominated Europe by late 1941, Japan expanded rapidly at the start of the Pacific war, and Southeast Asia was captured, including the Philippines. Midway during…

Japanese people. Everyone has equal rights so why should the Japanese be free for their wrongdoings. The Executive Order 9066 was very good solution to help stop having wars with the Japanese.

used annually. Number Twenty-Nine: Unique Architecture The Japanese culture is often characterized for its efficiency, although we think this particular aspect takes it a bit far.

The island also held tactical importance to American forces. The island would serve as a landing strip for fighter escorts and as an airstrip used to repair damaged aircraft. The Marines conducted an amphibious…

Perry negotiations and demand for trade made Japan to think about their actions and whether to open Japan. The purpose of this essay is to discuss whether Perry opened Japan or not. Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Japan on July 8th, 1853 at the Tokyo harbour. On the behalf of the US government, Perry forced Japan to trade with the United States. The united state…

FIRE! BLOOD! CRY! Three words that perfectly describe the picture in 1940 where all you will see are fire on almost everything, blood on every corner, all are running to live because there is the uncertainty of whether you’ll be able to see the sun shines again when all those darkness where caused by the Land of the Rising Sun.
