What was society and life like before the attack on Pearl Harbor?
This was one of the main events that pulled America into WWII. Without the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, America may have maintained its neutrality. Some people thought that FDR had antagonized the attack by cutting off Japans oil supply. It was also a little questionable as to why the battleships were all in a line which made them easy to bomb.
Did the US know Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked?
No of course not. However the Americans did find out that Japan was going to attack them, but they didn't know when and where. They found this out by cracking the Japanese code, that was being sent through. Japan wanted the attack on Pearl Harbor to be a surprise, so the US would not be prepared to defend themselves. This is why the U.S. lost many men, planes and ships when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Bottom line, the U.S. had no idea that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor.
Did the US fire on any of japans ships prior to Pearl Harbor?
The only incident I am aware of occurred outside the entrance to Pearl Harbor shortly before the air attack. AN IJN submarine was fired upon and sunk by an American destroyer, the USS Ward. The submarine, however, was a midget submarine with a small displacement and a small crew, and it would technically qualify as a craft instead of a ship.
Why was Japan responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor?
Japanese airplanes flown from the decks of Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carriers attacked and destroyed battleships of the United States Navy, at Pearl Harbor, United States Territory. An obvious act of war. Correction, Pearl Harbour wasn't part of the US until the 60s and it was the US that caused Pearl Harbour by cutting off Japans oil supply and refusing to come to an arrangement with Japan so Japan was given no choice but to bomb Pearl Harbour.
The American ships and planes were in peacetime condition of readiness not geared for attack the guns were without ammunition and were unmanned What effect did this have on japans success?
The American ships were not prepared for fighting and japan could easily attack them.
