How the Attack on Pearl Harbor Changed History Imagine, sleeping in your bunk on the USS Arizona just after 8:00 am, when suddenly the ship begins to call general quarters.

War world two would lead to the defeat of the Japanese army, and ever since the Japanese have challenged this notice of defeat through popular films and manga. My four films that will show the ways in which the memory of the war has been depicted are: “For Those We Love”, “The Eternal Zero”, “Grave of the Fireflies”, and last will be a manga called “The Hawk in the Shidenkai”.

The actions of John Brown’s raid at Pottawatomie Creek and Harpers Ferry were unforgivable; this would be what we the country sees terrorism as.

effective fighter jet than the MiG-15 because of its small size and maneuverability, its fast rate of fire and its versatility of weapons, and its superior range compared to the MiG-15. In order to examine the airplanes effectiveness, we must first look at the background of the P-80 and why it was used in the first place. In 1943 head engineer at Lockheed, Kelly Johnson, gathered his team of mechanics and engineers. He explained that the U.S. Air Force had ordered them to work on a new fighter plane
