Medical Breakthroughs: The Tragedy Of Pearl Harbor

The points i made about the bombing of Pearl harbor and the affects they had on America hopefully gave you some more insight on WWll. Because of the bombing and attack that happened on December 7, 1941, america joined the war. And when that happened that helped america get out of the great depression that had just barely ended. With men off to war the women took over and started working. The more workers the better the economy turned out to be. Also the men who lost their lives that day didn't die for nothing. The US got back at japan by bombing two very big important cities.

The U.S is mainly a neutral country but if something happens they are not afraid to fight back. After the Japanese bombings on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7,1941 the U.S began to take part in the war. WW11 was the deadliest war in the history of the world and it was also the most significant. 12 countries participated in WW11 including America. Because of the amount of casualties and history the war has it is easy to say that is was the most important war the U.S has ever been involved in. America’s involvement is also one of the reason the war was ended because we had so much power. Things could have been much different in this world if America did not partake in the war.

On December 7th 1941 Japanese forces launched a sneak attack on a U.S. naval base. Hundreds were killed and of the 8 ships on station only 3 were not destroyed and even those were badly damaged(Naval History And Heritage Command). This attack was not only bad for America's military, but her people as well. This raid was a defining moment in history, it had a profound affect on America and her people. Causing abruptly, the joining of america in the second world war.

Introduction. I chose this battle because I had been hearing about the attack on Pearl Harbor, but I did not know much about it. This paper talks about the countries that fought in this battle, where the battle was fought, what the geography was like during the battle, what the weather was like, what happened during this battle, how many casualties occurred, other things I learned about the battle, who won the battle, and how the battle was important to WWII.

Imagine the world if the United States didn’t enter the second World War.  The United States was able to control the Germans, so they weren’t able to take over all of Europe; a whole continent to themselves.  The United States was attacked at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7th, 1944, because the United States cut off oil shipments to Japan so they would come to bargain.  Instead of bargaining, the Japanese came to Pearl Harbor and proved that it was a mistake to cut off the oil supply.  Another reason the United States joined the war was the Germans were sinking United States’ ships while taking supplies to England.  They were even using unrestricted submarine warfare even though they promised not to do so in years prior.

One of America’s most infamous attacks comes in the form of the Pearl Harbor. Throughout most of World War II, America led with an Isolationism-based policy that saw the country avoid foreign affairs. This policy was followed until the late 1930’s and early 1940’s when America began to see how the war affected its surrounding allies and the incoming threat of a possible attack in the Pacific Ocean. ‘The date the will live in infamy’ coined by sitting president Franklin D. Roosevelt, saw on December 7, 1941, Japanese airmen bombed the U.S. naval base Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. This horrific assault led Franklin D. Roosevelt asking Congress for a declaration of war against Japan. After one day, with an overwhelming in favor vote, America entered

It was a beautiful sunday morning on December 7th everything was calm and quiet for now. After world war one the Japan was already with Germany. And the United States were just were trying to stay isolated from the rest of the war. America would help would help by giving some of the countries supplies. But when Japan invaded China the United States stepped in and sent troops to help China. And at that time the navy moved to Hawaii. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor mainly because of the embargo act, the fear of U.S navy expansion and the Japanese themselves expanding.

During any war, medical advancements are commonly made in response to the atrocities that take place during these bloody and gruesome times. World War II is no exception. During World War II, medical advances simply had to be made to keep soldiers alive. With all the victims of bullet wounds and diseases spreading around, treatments had to be invented or advanced. I chose this topic because science and medicine is very fascinating to me and I want to become a doctor when I grow up. During the war, penicillin, sulfanilamide, atabrine, plasma, and morphine were used in abundance and saved a countless number of lives.

The attack on Pearl Harbor changed the lives of Americans all over the country. It required many people 's way of life to change in order for us to win the war.

The vast majority of Americans supported World War II (WWII) after Pearl Harbor was bombed, recognizing a fascist threat to Western democracy. WWII was a good war. It had the ability to unite America. They united against Nazism and fascism. But even a good War has its bad times. If you look behind what you think happened at what really happened in WWII it becomes clear that the U.S. has nothing to be proud about.

To my knowledge America would not have gotten involved in the war if Japan did not bomb Pearl Harbor. That was a huge mistake on their part because The United States ended up unleashing their wrath by retaliating. By bombing Pearl Harbor Japan ended up killing over 2,000 people and injuring another 1,000. That is a lot of lives that did not need to be taken. America

“December 7, 1941 - A Date Which Will live in Infamy.” (Roosevelt, Franklin D.). Even today, nearly seventy years later, we still remember the Pearl Harbor attack launched by Japan. This catastrophic attack on the United States naval base in Hawaii was what pushed the United States of America into World War two. A Japanese Admiral decided to attack the base secretly hoping to cripple the U.S. fleet, this eventually led to United States involvement in the war and prove to be a huge mistake for the Japanese. Today we can witness the long lasting affects Pearl Harbor had on us. We can see the affects it had on Japan because of our retaliation for the bombing and attack of Pearl Harbor. The cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki are witnesses to what the Pearl Harbor attack eventually led too. The United Sates government declared war on Japan, which led to fighting in the Pacific, which eventually led to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the surrender of the Japanese government. Even until today Japan has restrictions on its military capacity. The infamous day of The Pearl Harbor Attack and its aftermath affected both the United States and Japan greatly and even today, nearly seventy year later, we can still witness some of the long lasting effects.

America’s decision to abandon their neutral position in World War II was justifiable. America took almost every peaceful measure it could to avoid joining the war. However, after Japan bombed the American naval Base, Pearl Harbor, America could not remain neutral in the war. Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor left a total of 2400 American civilians and servicemen dead. If America had not retaliated to this attack and had chosen to remain neutral, America would have been seen as weak. America would have possibly faced similar attacks. After America declared war against Germany, it joined the allied team which consisted of the Soviet Union and Britain. Although America did not know this on December 8, the date of declaration of war against japan,

World War Two, a harsh period of time in the 1930s-1940s, filled with controversial arguments, political battles, fights to the death, but most importantly, medical advancements. Did you know that without the research and discoveries made during World War Two, our medical programs would probably be lacking the information we have today? It’s very true, and in my opinion, the war strengthened our medical abilities, and it really put our world to the test. New medicine had been discovered, while old medicine had been improved; horrible medical experiments performed by the Nazis occurred during this time; but most importantly, World War Two has affected our medical programs that we have presently. These

World War II was a very important event in American history, but as bad as war is or seems to be there always seems to have better outcomes in the end. By the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and bringing America into the war it opened the eyes of all Americans to the problems not only domestically but internationally and the biggest problem that was discovered after the completion of World War II was the level of social equality around the world. It had been a problem that had plagued the world for many years but the atrocities that brought about by the war coupled with the ever growing eye of the media caused for greater concern in the light of social equality in the world.
