World War II, also known as the great war took place from 1939 to 1945; originally fought between the Major Axis powers, and the Allies. Adolf Hitler signed strategic treaties with Japan, and Italy to assist in his pursuit for world domination which formed the Major Axis powers. While Germany was occupied battling Britain in Europe, the U.S. was the only nation capable of battling Japanese aggression. Pearl Harbor, “... December 7th, 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.” (President Roosevelt’s Infamy Speech, Time.com). Pearl Harbor is a U.S. Naval Base located near Honolulu, Hawaii. This was the scene of a devastating surprise
Pearl Harbor. An event that took place in the history of the United States that will not be forgotten anytime soon. When United States citizens hear the name Pearl Harbor, they immediately think of the surprise military air attack on the United States Navy fleet at Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii, by the Japanese Navy. The strike happened on December 7, 1941. During this time, World War 2 was taking place across Europe and in parts of Asia. Germany was invading and taking control over European nations, as well as waging war with Britain and France. The Japanese was waging war with China and invading other Asian countries in the Pacific Ocean. The United States remained uninvolved in the wars that were taking place around them and were negotiating peace
“Yesterday, December 7, 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.” - President Franklin D. Roosevelt. December 7th 1941 marked an event in history that everyone in the world looks back to. On that date the Imperial Japanese Navy surprised attacked the American port of Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii. This marked the beginning of World War II for America. World War II was the bloodiest war in history with over 60 million deaths. World War II started in Europe when an Nazi controlled Germany invaded Poland on September 1st, 1939. Great Britain entered the war soon after along with the rest of her (Great Britain's) allies
suddenly attacked. Pearl Harbor was a devastating and tragic event for America. It also brought the U.S. into World War 2. Soldiers were drafted at a young age just to be killed in battle. History can't tell the exact reasons for Pearl Harbor’s occurrence. But, the U.S. mocking the Japanese race, restrictions made by the U.S., and the increased need for resources could possible have had a large part.
During 1941, despite President Roosevelt wished to stay neutral in WWI; on December 7th, Japan established an unexpected, (though perhaps to be foreseen) assail upon Pearl Harbor, hence the next day war was declared. Prior to Japan’s attack on the U.S; Japan had been struck by an Immigration Policy, embargos on aircraft and parts, a freezing of all its assets and bank accounts, and eventually an embargo on oil and petroleum shipments. The Immigration Act was a forge of shame and humiliation against the Japanese, causing them to become unable to purvey the Yamato race; thus began the first surge of aversion towards the U.S (first-page doc). Embargos on aircraft, parts, and oil would lead to believe Japan to become a third- class nation within two to three years if no action on the U.S policy was taken (as stated in document E). The propositions which were taken by the U.S preceding the attack on Pearl Harbor led Japan to hold a surge of execration, which became a wound Japan sought out vengeance for.
December 7th, 1941. This was the date of one of the most important attacks on the United States in the history of America. This was the date of the Japanese attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The attack on the naval base at Pearl Harbor was the last straw that led to the United States joining World War II as part of the Allied Power. The bombing was in reaction to many economic sanctions that were placed on Japan, so the bombing was not just to make the United States mad. We can see many reasons as to why Japan would bomb Pearl Harbor.
Was Pearl Harbor a good way for Japan to lead an attack on America? What other things could have Japan done to deal with America other than bomb it? I believe there were many other ways Japan could have dealt with America. What are the reasoning behind Japan attacking America? There are many reasons they bombed us starting with the fact that we placed an embargo on Japan to stop the transporting of steel, iron, and other materials. Afterwards, Japan tried to get the embargo lifted and then started preparing for war. There are some reasons that don’t have to do with anything we did. An example is Japan signed a treaty with the USSR to try to protect against an attack from the west. The Japanese military attacked multiple different countries to get the U.S. to declare was but not be able to fight hard or long enough to win.
The attack on Pearl Harbor led to the discrimination of Japanese Americans, German Americans, and Italian Americans. This led to internment camps in Feb. 19 1942. This essay will analyze why Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, why Americans created internment camps, and the impact or aftermath of Pearl Harbor in the United States. Although Pearl Harbor was a depressing event it was also led to a strong and successful United States. As Americans can we learn from history so we can avoid repeating this terrible event?
Pearl harbor was the key to which the united states joined world war two. On december 7, 1941 at 7:55 A.M hundreds of japanese planes attacked the united states naval base at pearl harbor.

Pearl Harbor is a naval base on the island Oahu, Hawaii, it is also a major site of the U.S navy. A surprise attack happened by a fleet of around 1200 Japanese borne fighter planes on a Sunday morning on December 7, 1941, it imposed heavy damage to the harbor and that brought the U.S into World War II. The reason the attack on Pearl Harbor started was because the U.S put sanctions on Japan and that cut off the majority of their oil supply because Japan was a part of the axis forces; Germany Italy. Before the Pearl Harbor attack the United States was against getting into the war it had a policy called isolationism. One has to remember that just 20 years prior the United States was involved in World War I with many of the citizens not wanting
The attack on Pearl Harbor was a hard time for the U.S. to realize what Japan had done. The attack happened on December 7, 1941 and it was by far a surprise on America. The new had spread from coast to coast that Japan had attacked Pearl Harbor and killed many. The American people had a hard time understanding what the Japanese did and how this was something they’d never forget. The Americans were in total surprise on who do they blame and how could this have happened. The American people were in dismay. The president had talked through his way as to go to war with the Japanese.(Butow). The detractors didn't pay much attention to all the reasons why Japanese did attack the Pearl Harbor.

Second World War was one of the most devastating wars of all time. The War started when Germany invaded Poland which led Britain and France declaring war on Nazi Germany in 1939. Meanwhile, the Marco Polo Bridge incident led to war between China and Japan. President Roosevelt declared the United States as a neutral country which would not participate in the war. Even though the United States was a neutral country, Japanese air bombed Pearl Harbor, a United States Naval Base located in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. This attack led to the death of over 2400 Americans. Because of the attack on Pearl Harbor United States was forced to enter the War. The United States fought alongside the Allied Powers on two different fronts, European and the Pacific front, for the next four years. Allied Powers finally won after Germany surrendered about a week after their Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s suicide on May 8, 1945. Japanese did fight for another four months and then surrendered on September 2, 1945, after the United States dropped two Atomic Bombs on Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Bombing of these two cities has been the talk of dispute ever since. Many believe that the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified because it ended the war, while others say it was unjustified because the war would have ended even if the atomic bombs weren’t used.
Another point in American history where this deviant immigrant concept flourished was after the Pearl Harbor attack that ignited World War II. According to Helphand (2006), on February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which authorized the establishment of military areas from which certain individuals would here then be excluded from taking part in American society. It was primarily directed at some 120,000 Japanese Americans, who were transferred to such locations in Oregon, California, western Washington, and southern Arizona, and placed in what one would formally call today, internment camps. The reason for placing these individuals, and practically locking them away from society was, as Helphand
World War II is one of the most recognized battles in the history of the world. The battle originated with Germany’s invasion of Poland. This sparked the beginning of the war, though the United States was not yet involved. The U.S. came into the picture after the attack on Pearl Harbor on the morning of December 7, 1941. Though Japan was the more “direct opponent”, the United States Army Rangers, Marine Corps., and every other branch of military took on Japan and Germany.
