Yes, America entering the war ended the Depression
Yes, the US dropped to atomic bombs on Japan in order to win the war. However, Japan claims that bombing pearl harbor was to get back at the US for cutting of the oil.
Yes; a pay-back bombing.
Japan is connected to the world because of the Pearl Harbor attack, if it wasnt for the attack , WWII wouldn't have accelerated so fast . Japan was really smart because when they bombed Pearl Harbor, they made it hard to fight back because all the weapons were gone from the bombs. Now their was a big war because of Japan's bombing-History Channel is my resource ....&&imPrincessBoopie ;-]
Japan fully expected that the US would fight back after Pearl Harbor was bombed. The purpose of the bombing was to destroy the US Pacific Fleet and thus make the US unable to apply significant military force in the Pacific while Japan conquered the territories it needed. Some in Japan thought the US could then be brought to peace talks and a treaty. Others understood that Japan having the upper hand in the Western Pacific would probably only be a temporary situation.
No, there was only one reason that America used the atomic bomb. To cause Japan to surrender. The only other way to get Japan to surrender was to invade the country with infantry, and having seen how stubborn the Japanese fighters were at the little islands they defended in the Pacific, Americans knew that the loss of life on both sides would be horrific. To save American fighting men's lives, they decided to drop the bomb. If Japan had surrendered immediately, America would not have dropped the second bomb.
Pearl Harbor is in Hawaii, which at the time was a US Territory. The Navy base at Pearl is still there. The main attack was against the ships and airfields on the island and several specific locations where attacked.
Yes; a pay-back bombing.

When the Japanese got back to Japan, after attacking Pearl Harbor, they probably told every one who would listen all about it.

Immediately. We declared war on Japan & then Germany declared war on us.
In a way, they were. Japan had killed 3,227 Americans so they had to fire back.
i believe they wanted to get back at America for something
very very very sad and mad and want to bomb them back. (sad days) :) ( kinda)
Yes, instead of launching the third wave which was to target fuel storage facilities and repair drydocks at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Fleet elected to head back to their home port in case the missing US carriers made an appearance.
Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. That was when US want revenge. They struck Japan back on Guadalcanal Island.
