Pearl Jam

To a long extent I agree to the statement that commodore Perry opened Japan, because Perry arrived to Japan and demanded to trade. 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…

was 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…

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. It was the start war where all cruelty started on China that their resistance to Japan’s war expansion in their country had led them to be on the war itself. Chinese had…

Where Your Ego Ends For everybody, life is different. Some people aspire to be nuclear physicists and others are content with working minimum wage for the rest of their lives. This is all because of perspective. Being that I was born as a millennial, I will have a different perspective than many baby boomers. This is caused by the social and personal constructs that every human is subjected to. Personally, I believe in equality, hard work, and being who you are. But, as many people’s…

According to Howell (2004), imperial Japan was a multiethnic entity, but its multiethnicity was not perceived as a permanent condition, much less an essential feature of its character. This is what the nation-state Japan is trying to achieve by trying to exhibit the modernization narratives regarding the Ainu people and its cultural heritage. The goal has always been to assimilate Japanese names, Japanese traditions and Japanese customs to the Ainu, Okinawans and colonial subjects to comply with…

of all six of Japan's aircraft carriers still remained a mystery. Kimmel and his staff with regard to considering the possibility that Pearl Harbor itself might be one of the targets of a Japanese attack. On the afternoon of December 6, One member of the staff immediately reassured him that "the Japanese could not possibly be able to proceed in force against Pearl Harbor when they had so much strength concentrated in their Asiatic operations." At the end of the discussion, Kimmel "put his…

There are four important battles that took place between Allied forces and Japanese forces. The first battle is known as the Battle of Midway, and according to the textbook (2014), the battle began when the United States sent ships into the area known as Midway to protect an airfield there. Japan viewed this as a breaking of code, and sent their men to Midway. While the leader of the naval ships, Chester Nimitz, hid his men beyond the horizon, he waited for the Japanese to start the attack. Even…

The economy fully converted towards a wartime economy in order to aid the war effort following Pearl Harbor. Public sentiment related to joining a war was incredibly warry as memories of the financial collapse of the 1930’s due in some part to the overproduction during World War I led many to fear falling for the same mistake again. Nothing was definite in the nation’s understanding of the war, and the doubt generated in the war’s future led to a hesitant mobilization effort. The nation…

discrimination, but on December 7, 1941, everything changed To panicked. people after the attack on Pearl Harbor, every Japanese could be a potential spy, ready and willing to assist in an invasion that was expected at any moment. ( or they could just be people who love being in the u.s and wouldn't hurt us at all but you all are all paranoid.) or were they?!!! They both started because of fear. After the attack Pearl Harbor, many…

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…
