What were people's reactions on Pearl Harbor?

Before WWII, 88% of Americans opposed American intervention in "Europe's War." FDR himself tried several ways to avoid intervention by passing the Lend-Lease Act with Britain. He wanted to avoid war but try to help the Allies win. After that plan failed, his only choice was deliberate provocation of the Japanese in order to enter the war, defeat Germany, and preserve democracy and national security. Due to the Pearl Harbor attack, Roosevelt knew that the people would want revenge against the Japanese and would want to enter the war. MORE AMERICANS AFTER THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR SUPPORTED INTERVENTION IN THE WAR THAN BEFORE THE ATTACK. source: I did a debate on Pearl Harbor conspiracy theory for my APUSH class.


What did America do wrong in Pearl Harbor?

The Japanese Military: Japan did not ensure that the Aircraft Carriers were in Pearl Harbour before attacking. Japan did not listen to the advice of the man who designed and lead the Attack on pearl Harbour. He said (Para-phrased). "Japan should not enter into a war with America at this time, Japan will lose that war". The American Military: Did not train the officers in charge of Pearl Harbour in the significance and proper use of information provided by the new Radar System. Direct intelegence of the impending attack on Pearl Harbour was not comunicated to the on site Comanders in an Effective Manner.

Does the bullet train travel from hiroshima Japan to Osaka Japan?

yes


Was there any special planning of the bombing of pearl harbor?

Yes. Peal Harbor was not very deep. The torpedo bombers had to train how to drop a torpedo such that it would not go too deep and hit the bottom. The Japanese had an device on the fin that helped it return to the top. The US Navy did not solve this problem for a few more months. They also practiced viewing through a replica bomb sight so they could get familiar with the out line of the harbor and the shapes of the battleships and aircraft carriers.

What were the cons of attacking Pearl Harbor?

There were a very large number of drawbacks and perils in the Pearl Harbor attack for Japan. So many, in fact, that the only reason the attack was made was the force of Admiral Yamamoto's personality. What Japan was after was a free hand in Asia, freedom to continue their invasion in China, and, specifically, to make their next move unmolested. Japanese aggression in China had severely strained US-Japanese relations. Then the Japanese moved into French Indochina (Vietnam) after France was overrun by Germany, adding further strain. The Japanese had now set their sights on the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). This was a vital step in Japan's plan. The East Indies had tremendous oil reserves. Japan has no internal source of oil, and the US had embargoed oil sales to Japan in the summer of 1941. The Japanese had only eighteen months worth of oil in reserve, and the embargo made the choice plain - either give up on the dream of empire, to which Japan felt entitled, and comply with US demands to cease aggression and conquest, or come up with another source of oil. With the military in control of Japan this was no choice at all, and the Dutch East Indies were going to be invaded. This was the main operation, the one which absolutely HAD to succeed for Japan to continue with its plans. The Japanese decision to attack Pearl Harbor was based on an assumption - that the US would go to war with Japan if Japan invaded any more countries, say, for instance, the Dutch East Indies. Whether the US would have gone to war over Japan invading a Dutch colony is far from certain. The military leaders controlling Japan did not completely understand that Franklin Roosevelt did not have the power they did, to take his nation to war whenever he might wish. The Japanese assumed that the US would go to war with them when they made their "southern" move into the Dutch East Indies, and this was the basis of the decision to attack Pearl Harbor. Yamamoto knew he could not win a long or protracted contest with the US. Yamamoto had served in the US as a Naval Attache at the Japanese Embassy, and he was a Harvard man. He knew the US had much more power than Japan. The only chance Japan had, as Yamamoto analyzed the situation, was to strike such a blow to the US fleet in the Pacific that the US would be powerless to interfere with Japan's wars of conquest for at least six months. This would allow time for Japan to complete its conquests, and the US would then face the prospect of a daunting and long effort to dislodge Japan, and might allow Japan to keep what it had won. So that's one BIG drawback to the Japanese plan. There was no certainty whatsoever that the US would have gone to war with Japan over any Asian aggression. The only way to make certain that the US would go to war with Japan was to attack the US directly, as the Japanese did, when they attacked to disable the US Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor. Many Japanese felt the Pearl Harbor plan was an unnecessary elaboration of their already complex and widespread southern plans. The attack on Hawaii would tie up the majority of Japan's carrier strength, and the Japanese expected they would lose half the carriers committed to Operation Hawaii. The Japanese had a limited number of carriers and using them in an attack on Hawaii meant they would not be available for supporting the main operation. Japanese strategy had envisioned a climactic battle with the US in the western Pacific, an all-out, do-or-die battle to determine the fate of their nation, in the event war came with the US. For this reason their ships had limited radius of operations - they lacked fuel capacity to sail to Hawaii and back without being refueled. The Japanese Navy had not practiced refueling at sea while underway, except of destroyers. Only two of the six carriers could make the round trip without refueling. Seven tankers sailed with the attack force to refuel the fleet while underway. In order to avoid detection while in transit to Hawaii the Japanese had to sail east across the North Pacific, then turn south for Hawaii, avoiding usual shipping lanes. The North Pacific weather in December in unpredictable but generally stormy, with massive seas and fog. It was far from certain that underway refueling would be possible. The Japanese could not be certain that the US fleet would even be in Pearl Harbor when their attack arrived overhead. Japanese spies had reported that the US fleet had established a pattern of half its ships in port while the other half was at sea, with the largest number in port on the weekend. But no one could be certain that major fleet units would be in port when the attack went off. In the event, the US carriers were absent, most unfortunately for Japan. The Japanese knew they had to have secrecy and approach undetected for the attack to succeed. At the last meeting before the fleet sortied, Yamamoto warned that the fleet might have to fight its way to the position to launch its attack. The Japanese could not be certain that the US would not have taken the sensible precaution of surrounding the ships in Pearl Harbor with torpedo nets. The most devastating weapon in a carriers arsenal was the torpedo, launched from the largest carrier aircraft of the day, torpedo bombers. The US did not use torpedo nets in Pearl Harbor, because the Harbor is shallow, no more than forty feet deep. Torpedoes generally dived to a depth of seventy-five feet or more when dropped, so the US admirals believed aerial torpedo attack impossible within Pearl Harbor. So did the Japanese, and it took most of 1941 to train torpedo plane pilots to come in low enough to drop specially modified torpedoes which did most of the damage in the attack. Carriers embarked torpedo bombers, dive bombers and fighters. Dive bombers dropped 500 lb bombs. These would not go through the thick deck armor of US battleships, and might cause damage on the weather deck, but nothing vital. The Japanese solved this problem by using torpedo bombers as high level bombers, which dropped specially modified one ton battleship armor-piercing shells as bombs. It was one of these which sank the USS Arizona. The high-level torpedo bombers also had to practice and develop special tactics for most of 1941 to achieve success.

Why did the US get involved in World War 2?

AnswerThe US provided millions of dollars in weapons, armament as well as money itself to the Allied forces. But the attack on Pearl Harbor pushed us officially into the war.AnswerBecause Japan went to war with us, without a declaration or any warning, first by attacking our naval base at Pearl Harbor. Michael Montagne AnswerWe were attacked, without warning and without provocation, by Japan. So naturally we declared war on Japan. A few days later, again without provocation, both Italy and Germany declared war on us. So, we gave them all the war they could handle. Michael Montagne AnswerActually we had set up an embargo on Japan so it wasn't completely without provocation. AnswerThey joined the war because by Japan at pearl harbor because we were cutting off some supplies they needed for the war. and we couldn't just sit there and be attacked we had to take action! Why America Entered World War IIMany reasons, including that Nazi Germany was sinking American supply ships because the US was providing financial and military support to the Allied troops (England, France, China and Russia). Most importantly, Japan attacked the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, without a declaration of war or any warning that hostlities were being commenced, sinking most of the battle fleet.The day after the attack, December 7th, 1941, President Roosevelt went before the US Congress and asked for a formal declaration of War with Japan in retaliation. With the exception of Janet Rankin (Montana), the US Congress voted unamiously for War.President Roosevelt never asked for war with Italy or Germany before the Congress. Instead, three days after December 7th, Italy and Germany declared war on the United States.Here are more opinions:The US stayed neutral in WWII until the US Naval Base @ Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was bombed by the Japanese on December 07, 1941. The Japanese were then enemies of the United States.As mentioned, the Japanese attacked the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, then the US bases in the Philippines. The US declared war on Japan, then a few days later Hitler declared war on the US, followed by a US declaration of war against Germany, and thus US was fully involved in the war.FDR wanted us in the war. he made very public statements, not 1, not 2, but three seperae attacks that Germans made on US vessels carrying civilians, no less. (I don't have their name on me because I'm at work, but The Idiot's Guide to WW2 does) Our isolationist populace wanted no part of the war in Europe. FDR did. We did pressure the Japanese with embargoes and made a bad economic situation with them much worse. We probably forced their hand. Then Pearl Harbor happened, and Hitler (in what is quoted as "the greatest military blunder in history") declared war on the US so that Japan would also attack the Russians on their eastern side (which they never did)Hitler was fighting a war on two fornts (which he knew was a major reason Germany lost ww1)if he could force Russia to also fight a two front war he might just get a shot at Moscow. (which the Germans were in sight of before being repulsed). Hitler did not know how bad off the Japanese were and thought they would help him because (by his own words)"we have allied with an army that has not seen defeat in over a thousand years" (which was true). Wilson did borrow money from them so was under influence. and Israel and we are viewed as the terrorists of the world by many. we do have the most weapons of mass destruction in the world and we train people all over the world in how to usurp their governments and we have funded a 50 million dollar a year terrorist campaign against Cuba (since the kenedy administration)and we helped put him in office because he was adictator that could be bought. No wwe don't like him because he wants to run things his way. The previous leader was elected very democratically but we didn't like his policies.Mainly as the Japanese were misguided enough to attack Pearl Harbour and it gave the Americans the incentive they needed.Great Britain had been standing alone for some time and if Hitler had gained Atomic warheads he would have launched long range V2 weapons against American cities so,they would have been involved sooner or later.Great Britain have been paying for it ever since especialy in time of strife (Kuwait,Iraq etc.) when they are called upon by America because their military skills are second to none.A lot of people are stating that we got into the war because of Pearl Harbor, but you my want to look further back as to why Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Japan had been aggressive towards China and so the US halted any trade with Japan in November 1940. Japan saw this as a hostile act towards them. About a year later, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. This was only part of there reason for going to war against the Germany, Japan and Italy. In March 1940, the Lend-Lease act was passed stating Roosevelt could direct aid to whoever he wanted. This meant that the US was no longer neutral. The US ended up contributing 42 billion dollars to the war effort by 1945. With Hitler taking over Europe, FDR saw fit to aid the British and French troops with arms, etc.It all starts many years before Pearl Harbor was bombed. It starts with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, China. The Japanese invade Manchuria on September 18th, 1931. China was in the middle of a depression (much like our own) so the Japanese quickly get a strong footing in Southern Manchuria. At this time, the United States is good friends with the Russians. It starts pissing off Russia that the Japanese are taking over China. If it pisses off the Russians, it pisses off us. Also, the Japanese invading China violated the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 which renounced war as national policy. So, the United states tells Japan if they don't get out of China, we'll stop trading oil with them. Japan stays in China, so, naturally, we stop trading oil. Eventually, Japan is forced out of China, but not without a lasting grudge against us Americans. Of course they hate us after this, so when Pearl Harbor was left for an entire day with everyone on holiday, they bombed the Hell out of it. America was looking for a very good reason that everyone could agree on to join the war. FDR had been wanting to join the war all along, and when the Japanese bombed us 10 years later, it had everyone in such an uproar that no one would back down from the fight.The answer is simple. I am a seventh grader and even I can answer that question. The bombing at Pearl Harbor was indeed a spark to the United Sates entering the second World War. America clearly felt that if we just laid down and allowed ourselves to be attacked, without a counterattack, we would be the target of many of our world enemies. I feel that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a very fine president, of our strong country, and that the fact that he was able to cope with a depression and war at the same time, is simply outstanding.AnswerThis is one of those questions that has exercised people for a long time, and as with many important events, has attracted some strange theories. The basic facts given above are correct. The fundamental cause was indeed the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Such an attack is tantamount to a declaration of war. It's also true about Japan's invasion of China, and America's oil embargo. America had good relations with China (which was not communist) at that time. That was probably more significant that US-Soviet relations.The theory that the President knew about Pearl Harbor in advance has been suggested many times. There is some interesting evidence that there was some advance knowledge (or possibly that there ought to have been) but pretty much all reputable historians agree that the President did not have definite information about the attack.It's not true that Germany declared war on the US before Pearl Harbor. They did a few days afterward. It is just possible that, had they not done so, the US would have refused to declare war on Germany but fought only Japan.It also should be understood that while the US was technically neutral up to Pearl Harbor, they were already providing substantial aid to the Allied side. The British were being provided with arms and supplies on favorable terms, and no such supplies were being sent to the Axis. Convoys across the Atlantic were being escorted by US warships for the Western part of the journey.AnswerThe US was already trading with other countries through the Lend-Lease Act, a document allowing the US to "lend" countries like Britain war materials in exchange for money. Surely the Nazis knew this, but the real thing that got us into the war was Pearl Harbor. Of course there are theories that FDR knew about the attack on Pearl Harbor and didn't do anything to defend against it for the sole purpose of justifying entry into the war, but I don't believe that. Japan saw our navy as a threat to it's imperialistic desire to have power over all of Asia and the Pacific. The same US navy, which was conveniently, yet threateningly positioned nearly half way between the US and Japan. Japan also didn't have very good control over its military leaders, as General Tojo took his own action by attacking at Pearl Harbor. AnswerIt is a popular misconception among Americans that the US voluntarily entered WW2, at least against the Germans. In fact, the US didn't. The US entered the general war as a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor. But the US entered against Japan and did not, repeat not, declare war on Germany.However, a few days after Pearl Harbor, Hitler declared war on the US, thereby putting an end to the US dilemma. After a meeting between Churchill and Poosevelt, it was agreed that the British and Americans would have a "Germany first" policy.Whether the Americans would have declared war on Germany had not Hitler made the decision for them is one of the great unanswered questions of history. The US had, of course, been completely isolationist prior to 7 December 1941 - Roosevelt's Lend-Lease programme had got through Congress by one, repeat *one*, vote.The answer is that yes, probably the US would have entered the war against Germany, but possibly not on the scale that it did, and almost certainly not with Germany being given priority over Japan.But nobody will ever know for sure.(This was written by a Brit, btw)AnswerWe were attacked, suddenly, without warning and without a declaration of war, by Japan at our naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. AnswerBecause the Japanese bombed the US fleet at Pearl Harbour. AnswerOur naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked, without provocation or warning or a declaration of war, by the Japanese navy. Michael Montagne AnswerBy getting most of out battle fleet sunk in a surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Michael MontagneWorld War 2 AnswerObviously the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan triggered a declaration of war and the 'official' entry of the USA into the war December 1941. However, the USA was already unofficially at war with Germany since USA naval forces were shooting to kill German naval units in the Atlantic. The USA was sending 'volunteers' to fight in China against Japan. The USA was keeping Britain in the war by providing 'loans'. Some would say that the USA cutting off 100% of credit to Japan (along with the Netherlands and England) which meant cutting off Japanese oil supplies, was tantamount to a declaration of war by the USA on Japan, Summer 1941.Clearly the USA was gearing up for war even as the population clammored to stay neutral. One way or the other Roosevelt was going to get the USA into the war......the Japanese just made his goal easier to achieve.AnswerWe received an engraved invitation from Japan delivered to our post office box at Pearl Harbor! AnswerJapan bombed Pearl Harbor AnswerJapan, Germany, and Italy signed a pact with each other that if the U.S. declared war on any of the three the other two would declare war on the U.S. so, Japan on a early December morning attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii distoring U.S. naval ships and killing 1000s When the U.S. declared war on Japan Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S. that is how the U.S. became involved in the European front. AnswerThe 7 December 1941 Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor was one of the great defining moments in history. A single carefully-planned and well-executed stroke removed the United States Navy's battleship force as a possible threat to the Japanese Empire's southward expansion. America, unprepared and now considerably weakened, was abruptly brought into the Second World War as a full combatant. AnswerBecause we were attacked without warning by Japan and then Germany and Italy declared war on us a few days later. Michael Montagne Sorry but you are slightly off... Japan attacked Pearl Harbor unwarningly therefore we declared war on Japan. Shortly after Germany declared war on us, then the allies declared war on the Germans. Then Italy declared war on us, then the allies declared war on Italy.Michael Muir, 2005 8th gradeAnswerThe United States was attacked December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor by Japan. On December 8 Congress declared war on Japan in retaliation to those lost at Pearl. By December 11 Germany declared war on us. Many tried to stay out of the war as we were not directly involved. As soon as we were attacked there was no stopping people joining the armed forces in an effort to, basically get revenge for the loss of life at Pearl. Answerit seems to me that when we where attacked at Pearl Harbor AnswerJapan bombing pearl harbor AnswerAlthough the US was leaning towards involvement in WWII, many people still saw it as a "European" conflict. That changed on Sunday, Dec. 7 1941 with the daring Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. A good portion of the US Navy was destroyed. The emotional reaction to Pearl Harbor was very similar to the feelings most Americans had after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center: Shock and disbelief followed by anger. AnswerAfter the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, America needed to join in rather than be pushed around... -JamesAnswerJapan bombed Pearl Harbor. AnswerThere was some pressure to come to the aid of our European allies well before the U.S. actually declared war, but the triggering event is widely accepted to be the Japanese attack on the U.S. base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Congress declared war on Japan, and the Axis powers in turn declared war on the U.S. Obviously, this is an oversimplification; there were many other reasons "WHY" the U.S. got involved, but the political/military reason was the Pearl Harbor attack.AnswerBecause the USA was ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AnswerWe were attacked, at the battle of pearl harbor AnswerThe united states were giving supplies to the allied force. Also japan was invading china. russia was very good friend with the us and russia was getting pissed with japan invading china that it was pissing The Us to. so we stop trading oil to japan and japan attacked pearl harbor because they thought it was a very hostile act towards them. That's because japan really needed oil and they really needed it AnswerWe entered WII when Japan bombed us at Pearl Harbor AnswerWe stopped trading goods with Japan. When they bombed Pearl Harbor (to make us trade and stop interfering w/ their conquest for Asia), Harry S. Trueman asked to declare war on Japan. After we defeated the Germans, we came after Japan! Additional answerIt's very common for Americans to use the word 'we' regarding who won WW2. Unfortunately, this completely excludes all the other nations - particularly the British - who also fought. It was a world war, not a US/German war. And don't forget that the allies (of whom the US was just a part), only fought in Europe in the west. What about the Russians, who had the whole of the eastern front to themselves. It's quite wrong of Americans to think they always save the world.Interestingly, a film was made of the capture of an Enigma machine by the Americans. But who actually captured one? The British.Also, interestingly, there is a great number of Japanese who don't know anything about the Pacific war or Hiroshima. They've never been told.Don't let that happen to Americans - make sure you know some facts.The Japanese attacked the US at Pearl Harbor. That act virtually demanded that the US become involved in the war against the axis powers.
