On December 7, 1941 we experienced a harmful attack on Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt ordered to declare war on Japan on the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. FDR predicted over 1.5million death's if the allies had to invade Japan. August 7, 1942 war on the pacific begins the allied and axis powers start to attack each other. The Japenese believed they were pushed into a corner by Roosevelt that caused them to attack us. The Japenese were falling rapidly and getting defeat which caused us to gain progress. President Truman knew we needed something powerful to do on the Japenese. So on August 3, 1945 president Truman declared to use the bomb anytime soon. So on a clear morning on August 6, 1945 the atomic bomb was
This chapter begins with talking about the Pearl Harbor and World War II. There was an estimation on how many people were death in World War II and it was estimated that sixty million people were death during World War II. Because of this war, many African American were forced to join in the army to fight. Not just that athletes were draft or enrolled to the service to help fight the war. People from Japanese living in the United states were sent into internment camps. Baseball was played by the Japanese in the internment camps. Women began to work in factories to help out mens that were fought in the world.
Many Americans were against joining World War I because the war did not concern America and was very dangerous. Due to the growth of industrial warfare, combat was now more dangerous than ever before with the invention of the submarine and airplane. These new inventions took combat to the sky and the deep sea where humans are extremely vulnerable and death can happen within minutes. To make matters worse, these new submarines and airplanes were equipped with weapons such as the torpedo and automatic machine gun, which contributed to the killing of over a hundred thousand American men alone.
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.
Just before 8 a.m. on December 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack at the American naval base at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. Japan sent hundreds of fighter planes and bombers toward the naval base with no warning toward the United States, but the two countries were near war for decades. Japan believed that the best way to solve its economic and demographic problems was to expand its empire. No one believed that the Japanese would start the war on American territory. For Japan, starting an attack on American territory would be very inconvenient. The two pieces of land are about 4,000 miles apart and the travel to get to the United States would take a lot of fuel, and a lot of time. The barrage of bullets, bombs, torpedoes, and Kamikaze or suicide planes last almost 2 hours. Just before the start of the attack, Americans at the
Just over two months after Japan's surprise attack at Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which gave the U.S. military the ability to designate areas that anyone could be excluded from. Even though the order did not explicitly refer to any particular ethnic or racial group, there was a clear implication of who this order was referring to. During the week the order was released, peole of Japanese descent were ordered to leave their homes in California. Soon, the forced relocation applied to the whole state, as well as much of the rest of the West Coast. Roosevelt signed another order the next month that created an agency to usher anyone of Japanese descent - most of whom were U.S. citizens- to camps
On December 7th, 1941, Japan attacked the United States first at Pearl Harbor. August 6, 1945, the United States became the first country to use an atomic weapon. Truman made the decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima because there wasn’t much else to do in the situation.
Bill Mize, my great grandfather, watched in awe everyday as his father did the difficult job of being a railroad conductor in the 1940s. “I was completely fascinated by my father, he worked tirelessly to provide for the family, and was an incredible man,” Bill recalls. At the young age of fourteen Bill suffered the devastating loss of his father, the man he spent most of his childhood admiring. His father died abruptly of tuberculosis at the age of fifty-nine the family was completely shocked and devastated by this loss. Without his father, Bill watched everything in his once normal life quickly fall away; the family’s finances were slim to nothing and his mother could no longer support Bill and his sisters. Throughout the extremely rough time following his father’s death, Bill was forced to make some difficult decisions that no fourteen year old should have to make. Bill had to make the impossible decision to leave the rest of his family so that they would not starve, and move into a home for the children of Freemasons.
“Yesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. We will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.” (Franklin D. Roosevelt). Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered this speech, to the people of America, After the attack of Pearl Harbor. The Pearl Harbor was attacked by 353 Japanese fighter planes, bombers, and torpedo planes that were launched from 6 aircraft carriers. The Attack By the Japanese naval and air forces resulted in 3581 casualties, 188 aircraft destroyed, and three cruisers, 3
A few years before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan was running low on resources. The United States was Japan's main oil producer. Japan was naturally a resource poor country, however Japan found plenty of resources on the more Western countries, so they invaded. The United States tried to tell Japan to stop invading the other countries, but they didn't listen. Japan soon made a plan to stop the United States from interfering with their plans and they created to plan to bomb Pearl Harbor on 1940.
Japan during this time had high aggression towards China, because of this the United States sided with China. The Japanese were looking to gain a large amount of power during the 1940’s. The places they attacked, the Japanese were very cruel to the natives in that particular country. The Japanese brutality really upset the American public. The American people believe in what the government presents to them. The American officials responded to reacted to the aggression of the Japanese with multiple economic sanctions and trade embargoes. They believed that if Japan does not have access to money and other goods, including oil, this will decrease their chances of expansion to other countries. Both sides from America and Japan came together for negotiations but none of them could come to an agreement, so war was in the future.
On August 6, 1945 when President Truman decided to bomb Hiroshima with the bomb nicknamed “little boy” causing over 6 percent of the city to be leveled out and causing 70,000 civilians casualties. But the real question was if this act was necessary. The evidence points out that yes it was a necessity to stop another war from beginning. The united stated targeted two major military and industrial cities (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) to stop an invasion of Japan. Which Truman knew would cause “Okinawa from one end or japan to the other” and his assumptions were very legitimate. The Japanese took the initiative to try and start a new war with the united states with the bombing of the Pearl Harbor, to try and destroy the military and air forces, but while doing that in a short time five of eight battleships at Pearl Harbor were sunk or sinking,
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, a main U.S. naval base, on December 7, 1941; Pearl Harbor is located in Hawaii. Japan sunk many ships and killed many people using bombs, since this was a surprise attack, the U.S. could not prepare. The U.S. officially declares war on Japan after the Pearl Harbor attack; The U.S. was now in World War II. The cause of Japan attacking Pearl Harbor was because of the U.S. raw material embargo against Japan, Japan wanted to become a world power, and the Immigration Quota Act that the U.S. congress passed. Europe is a war and the U.S. is going to try to take it back.
The aggression on Pearl Harbor was offended by the body of people and led it into a conflict at a time when Congress and the American individuals had been divided on the reflection to a set world. News compositions from Dec. 8 considered a sudden transfer in the national state. According to New York Times, “From Dec 9 and 10, 1941, thousands of men volunteered to sign up to serve in the United States armed forces, enterprising commitment to new highs.” Leaders discussed whether to announce war, not only to Japan but also on the Axis powers including Germany and Italy. Knowing that congress would declare war, Sam Rayburn was the longest serving speaker in the House. Sam said and I quote, “I think that is one thing which there would be unity.”
Throughout history, many major events have occurred and they have changed the world and its countries as we know them today. One of the major events that has happened and is known internationally, is the second World War, a confrontation mainly between Germany, Italy, and Japan in the axis side, and Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union in the allies side, which had many more countries involved. Even though those were the major countries involved at the beginning, one major turning point in war was when the United States was brought into war, which probably changed how the war ended by American intervention. The attack on Pearl Harbor is what mainly triggered the action into being involved at war from the U.S. (Unfinished Nation, p612), and from that point on, the Japanese were treated very different, with discrimination and exclusion for many years (Identification Records, p1), and many concentration camps were created to maintain control over the Japanese outside and inside of the United States (Enemy Aliens, p1).
