The United States was shocked as well as devastated after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The counteracting of the U.S. was, “Congress declared war on the Empire of Japan amid outrage at the attack. Japanese Americans from the West Coast were sent to internment camps for the duration of the war.” U.S citizens came together to get vengeance on Japan’s empire, this was called Remember Pearl Harbor (wikipedia.org). “Two months after the attack, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which…

As was mentioned above, there are of course alternate theories as to why the Japanese people attacked the American Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor. One such theory states that the Japanese attacked the Americans at Pearl Harbor to keep the US out of the war by crippling its Pacific fleet . This theory makes some sense at least at the most basic level of analysis. Japan had joined Germany and Italy in the war effort. Also, the Japanese and Germans were gambling that the US could not fight a war on…

There were many events from the end of World War one to the attack at Pearl Harbor. In America this was a time seen by others as a time of isolation, which it was. The reason America felt the need to isolate themselves is because in November 1918, the American people were depressed and uninitiated from “the Great War”, now called world war one. This lead to the “roaring twenties” where Americans tried to forget about the horrible war, which was the bloodiest war in history during this time, and…

U. S’s worst military losses was recorded into history with the attack of Pearl harbor. Noted as “a date which will live in infamy” by President Franklin Roosevelt, it is considered to be the “straw that broke the camel’s back” when it came to deciding whether the U.S would go to war or not. It is also considered to be the reason why the U.S began its hastily production of nuclear weapons. The attack on pearl harbor was what ultimately lead the U.S into World War 2 after months of declaring…

Methods Study Area East Harbor is a 291-ha back-barrier salt marsh and coastal lagoon located within the Cape Cod National Seashore (CCNS), N.Truro, Massachusetts (Thiet et al. 2014a). East Harbor was artificially isolated from Cape Cod Bay in 1868 when the original 300-m wide inlet was diked due to the construction of a causeway for use by trains and automobiles (Portnoy et al. 2005). In 1894, a drainage system was installed that allowed freshwater to escape the system (Portnoy et al. 2006),…

I did maintenance work that was long overdue, you know the generic house and yard work that everyone gets to do. My mom had been asking me to replace the front door on our little house on the outskirts of pearl city, about 15 minutes away from the harbor. The door had been beaten to a pulp by something. After a day of hard work, the house looked better than it did in a long time. My hair was still a train wreck, but that’d have to wait till…

Muslims after the terrorist attacks is seen as unfair and is questioned if it was necessary. Even though these two ethnic groups were viewed differently they had a lot of similarities to how they treated after the attacks. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, but it wasn’t until February 19th that the Japanese Americans got treated differently by the government. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive order 9066, which called for the exclusion and interment of the…
