5 What did the Japanese hope to gain by their attack on Pearl Harbor?
To completely cripple and destroy the Pacific Fleet. In fact, they would have succeeded had they launched a second wave, however, Admiral Yamamoto felt that surprise was lost and did not want the US Fleet to engage his fleet, as surely his carriers would have been destroyed. Had he lost his carriers, the Japanese would have been unable to win the war effort. It was entirely luck that saved the United States from utter destruction. Our oil fields were untouched, and had they been targeted, the fleet, indeed the entire war effort would have been lost.
Is the poem In Flanders Fields pro war or anti war?
It can be viewed either way. In Flanders Fields is a lamentation on the young lives lost in combat, which would make it an anti-war poem. But it is also a plea from the dead to "finish the job", which might be interpreted as a pro-war stance. But when the job is finished, the end result is, hopefully, peace. The author, John McCrea, was moved to write it by the horror of the battle, and he was a physician - a life saver. Ultimately, the poem might be thought of as ambiguous in meaning, which much great poetry is.
