be if they hadn’t happened. Some events send ripples into the future, while others send large waves of change altering far more than anyone could expect. The bombing of Pearl Harbor was the event that would lead the United States into World War II and it would change the country forever. Prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States entered wars with hesitation and then retreated into themselves when they ended (CS 544). Following World War I the American people were so determined to…

“December 7, 1941 a day that will live in infamy.” This quote was from Franklin Roosevelt’s speech after The Pearl Harbor Attack. This was a dark day for America. Bombs dropped on all 31 of the navy’s ships in Pearl Harbor and not to mention the around 2,000 American men that were killed during the attack. To this day, this date brings back emotion and melancholy to the nation, but with this critical event, it shall never be forgotten. This is a day triumphs many others in the American history.…

Pearl Harbor is a U.S, Hawaii, that was the moment of a scary surprise attack by Japanese on December 7, 1941.

More than 2,000 Americans died in the attack, with civilians included, and another 1,000 people were wounded. The day after the assault, President Roosevelt asked the Congress to go to…

Justified Bombing at Pearl Harbor. Nearly all of the West Coast navy fleet destroyed. This prepared Japan to make a straightforward attack on the U.S. We were afraid of the many Japanese Americans living on the West coast to help them, considering they’re loyalties were unknown. The decision was made to relocate all of the American citizens with a Japanese ancestry. They were moved to more central America. This was so they were not as close to Military bases and important sites on the west coast…

The only possible defense for the Japanese attack comes from a fervent Japanese imperialist. The Pearl Harbor attack on December 7th, 1941 was uncalled for and…

The Attack on Pearl Harbor On December 7, 1941, Japanese forces came into view at the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor where the great Pacific Fleet was stationed at. This surprise attack caused the U.S. to enter World War II. There is evidence that FDR provoked the Japanese to attack the U.S. for there to be an excuse to enter World War II, but there are other reasons the Japanese attacked the U.S. Maybe it was the several thousand men that were lost at the bombing that caused the U.S. to…

was a great success. All quotes support that it was a Japanese success. Michael Slackman, a consulting historian to the U.S. Navy, described the attack as “almost textbook perfect”.8This perspective is similar to that given by book Target: Pearl Harbor (1990). Gordon Prange, the battle’s leading historian, judged it “brilliantly conceived and meticulously planned." Two historians believed that the Pearl Harbour was a success and they have achieved their goal to destroy the American army to stop…

warned of the attack and had a very good army, why did they lose against Japan? Pearl Harbor was one of the biggest military bases of the United States, and it was destroyed by a beautifully planned and executed military maneuver, in the words of the Pacific Fleet commander Admiral Husband E. Kimmel. The Japanese army wasn´t as organized as the American one, it didn’t have the same weaponry that the one in Pearl Harbor, but they made it to beat the United States, which pushed them to react to…
