What did the US Army do to try and prevent having their planes attacked at pearl harbor and why was it a mistake?
In order to prevent sabotage attempts against parked aircraft by local Japanese-Americans, the military authorities lined them up wingtip to wingtip on their airstrips so that they could be easily observed. However, this plan backfired horrendously during the actual Japanese attack, as the lines of planes were easily strafed by Japanese fighters. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese destroyed 188 US planes and heavily damaged 159 more, largely because of these tactics.
Is Pearl Harbor related with world war 2?
pretty much. after the world war two ended everybody was excited and surrendered except for the Japanese they didn't want to except that it was over. so the U.S wanted to try and get them to give up by dropping bombs. Pearl Harbor is basically what got the US directly involved in WWII because the Japanese were in talks with America about a truce although no truce was actually declared. they then broke down the talks of peace with America and they bombed pearl harbor and wiped out most of the American pacific fleet. America then retaliated with the doolittle raid others and war continued until America dropped the first atom bomb on hiroshima and japan surrendered
Why Japanese chose Pearl Harbor to attack?
Japan also attacked Guam, The East Indies, Malay & The Phillipines as well as Pearl Harbor On the day of November 7, 1941,exactly one month prior to the Pearl Harbor Attack that still "...live(s) in infamy!", according to FDR, Japan issued The Combined Fleet Order No. 1 to its military forces. That order laid out the plans for the Japanese Empire's boldly extensive South Pacific operation. As far back as March 1, 1941, they planned to send the 1st Air Fleet to attack Pearl Harbor,the 2nd Fleet to attack the islands in the East Indies, Malay, & The Philippines and the 4th Fleet to attack the Island of Guam. Japan's plan was for its Southern Force to invade Malaya while its Philippine Force invaded and occupied The Philippines. A Northern Force would lay back to guard the eastern home waters of Japan while the main naval body was positioned in Japan's Inland Sea home waters.Many ReasonsJapan chose Pearl Harbor for many reasons. *First off, Pearl Harbor was located right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It was "in the way",so to speak, of the Japanese expansion policy.Second, Pearl Harbor was where America's Pacific Fleet was located. If Japan was to wage war with America, it needed to completely wipe out all of America's power in the Pacific with one surprise attack.However, the attack on Pearl Harbor did not wipe out America's presense in the Pacific because the aircraft carriers, the heart of the fleet, were out at sea on training manuevers.Destruction of The American Pacific Fleet The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor with the intent of destroying America's Pacific Fleet in its home base. This would have allowed them to operate freely in the Pacific. I'm not old enough to have witnessed this peronally but, I'm sure my answer is fairly correct. Japan saw the US as the only country with enough naval strength in the Pacific to be a significant threat to their expansionist plans to occupy the Pacific islands. They had discovered that the US usually kept the majority of its Pacific Naval forces (both ships and aircraft) at Pearl Harbor when not in active service. The Japanese decided to take a gamble and try to completely cripple the US Navy by attacking Pearl Harbor, if the majority of the Navy's equipment could be destroyed then the US might give up easily and permit Japan to take whatever it wanted with no resistance.However what the Japanese could not know and was lucky for the US was that all of the aircraft carriers were out that day on a training mission. So although the attack did destroy or disable nearly everything at Pearl Harbor, those aircraft carriers were THE THING that enabled the US to fight back in the Pacific for about the first two years of the war until more ships could be built. This forced dependence on aircraft carriers also made significant changes in US Naval tactics that eventually led to the modern Navy's usage of nuclear aircraft carriers and the abandonment of the battleship and other "gunboat" type ships.
Was the attack on the pearl harbor a surprise attack?
Yes. The attack on pearl harbor was a military surprise attack, to distract the US and give the Japanese some time to fight Malaysia.
