Provincetown Harbor

stereotypes of Japanese appearance, is trapped and presumably killed by a mousetrap labeled “Material Conservation”, with the caption of the poster being “Jap Trap”. The message is simple; if Americans wish to put a stop to the “yellow peril” after Pearl Harbor, then they should conserve more of their goods and be less wasteful. This War War II propaganda poster was created by the United States Information service, and was probably put into print somewhere between 1942 and 1945. The point of…

at Pearl Harbor, which was bombed from Japanese fighter planes and around 2500 innocent Americans died, from a surprise attack, which was an attempt for Japan to become a major world power after leaving economical isolation. Another attempt to undermine the powers of America took place in the early 21st century on September…

Boom! Another bomb dropped just beside Louie Zamperini and his crewmates. Japan and America were officially at war. The bombardiers gathered their things, hopped into the B-24, and off to Japan they flew. Louie is now going to be the guy every man hopes to be. Strong, useful, optimistic, and very determined. During Louie's life, he was a very determined man. He had a very important role in the military, a bombardier, and flying overseas in a over sized plane was very dangerous, especially during…

the most in my social studies class were “The Sons of Liberty.” The Sons of Liberty were the masterminds of the boston tea party. “The Boston tea party” is when the colonist of Great Britain had dressed up as indians and dumped all the tea in the harbor. The Sons of Liberty, a well-organized Patriot paramilitary political organization shrouded in secrecy, was established to undermine British rule in colonial America and was influential in organizing and carrying out the Boston Tea Party. The…

that’s how the name became as the Bataan Death March came to be. Typically it took about five days to complete, but along the way thousands of troops died due to what all they had to go through. Accordingly after Japan bombed U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 the Japanese invasion of the Philippines began. Japanese had captured Manila, the capital of the Philippines within a month and Filipino defenders of Luzon. For the next three months the combined U.S. Filipino army held…

Prior to the attack of Pearl Harbor the general view was that this was a European problem and in Asia, Japan was invading places they had never heard of, so no one really wanted to get involved in something that did not directly affect them. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the American population wanted nothing but the destruction of the Empire of Japan. It was wrongly taught that the US also declared war on Germany at the same time. This was not correct, the US originally only declared war…

Yesterday, June 6, 1944, from 6:30 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. , the American, Canadian, and British Allied powers invaded Normandy. They decided to do this when it was undeniable that Hitler wasn’t going to surrender to the Allies. General Douglas MacArthur finally decided it was time to do something big that would lead to Hitler’s surrender. So, like a stampede of water buffalo, the powers rushed onto Normandy’s land. They spread out over a 60 mile coast, covering 5 beaches, codenamed Juno, Gold,…

1775 to convince the members of the Virginia Convention to go to war against the British. On December 8, 1941, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt made a similar speech to Congress and citizens of the United States concerning the attack on Pearl Harbor, persuading Congress to declare war. Both Patrick Henry and Franklin D. Roosevelt used the rhetorical appeals of pathos, logos, and ethos to convince their respective audiences that war was necessary. Pathos, the appeal to emotion, was used by…

believe that he had zero part in the war. He claimed the Japanese military was doing their own thing, taking commands not from Hirohito but from one of the generals. The truth is that he was the main commander. He was the man behind the bombing of pearl harbor. Not only that but he sent his men to do it earlier than planned so no one would suspect him having any part in it. Hirohito’s life was long, he became emperor and a skilled commander young although the glory of his reign didn’t last long.…

I chose the source titled “Masao Takahashi Describes Incarceration at the Missoula, Montana, Department of Justice Detention Center.” The source is a written testimony by Masao Takahashi, a Japanese man that was arrested after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This testimony was at Takahashi’s Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) hearing in Seattle, on September 10, 1981. Takahashi was one of the thousands of testimonies given by the Japanese that were heard by the…
