What happened at Pearl Harbor and Why were the US attacked?

The Japanese, who had allied themselves with Nazi Germany in the late 1930's, were on an aggressive, imperialist campaign to conquer territory in the far east and the Pacific Rim. Their war machine depended heavily on imported oil. President Roosevelt of the US, decided that it was necessary to protest their imperialist, aggessive, and brutal tactics, and wrote an exeutive order prohibiting the sale of oil to Japan. That was taken as an act of aggression by Japan, who then plotted, planned, and executed the attack on Pearl Harbor on Sunday, December 7, 1941. The attack was unprovoked, and was launched before Japan formally declared war on the US.

Who built japans aircraft carriers that attacked pearl harbor?

Japan built them. They've been building steel warships since the 1890s. Some of their steel battleships used during the Russian/Japanese War in 1904 were built in Great Britain, as it was common practice for nations to purchase warships built abroad (still is today). The Russian battleship "Retvizon" used during the 1904 war was built in America. The best Russian battleship of the war, was French built, the "Tsesarevich."

What were the main reasons why the atomic bomb was dropped by the USA?

President Harry Truman had many alternatives at his disposal for ending the war: invade the Japanese mainland, hold a demonstration of the destructive power of the atomic bomb for Japanese dignitaries, drop an atomic bomb on selected industrial Japanese cities, bomb and blockade the islands, wait for Soviet entry into the war on August 15, or mediate a compromised peace.

At the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.

Did any us troops die while bombing Hiroshima or Nagasaki?

No one will ever know for certain how many died as a result of the attack on Hiroshima. Some 70,000 people probably died as a result of initial blast, heat, and radiation effects. This included about twenty American airmen being held as prisoners in the city.

How many Christian followers are in other foreign countries?

Polls show it to be about 75% of the population, but polls are often deceptive. When asked "What religion are you", most nonreligious people will answer with the religion that was prevalent during their childhood. This gives the false impression that they are religious. A better gauge of religiosity are polls that delve into religious activity, such as church attendance, or into specific beliefs. Only about 35% of people in the US are involved in regular religious activity. In other words, 65% live secular lives, regardless of what they consider their religious affiliation.

Were any downed Japanese airmen captured and taken prisoner at Pearl Harbor?

I don't remember reading that any airmen were taken captive but one of the mini subs was captured on a neighboring island. There is a picture showing the men who piloted the subs in and around Pearl Harbor - all of those men are pictured except the man taken captive. He dishonored the Japanese therefore he lost his position in Japanese history.

What European country did japan defeat in the twentieth century?

None, actually. They defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) and expelled them from Manchuria, which they had occupied in 1903.

They also occupied parts of China, the Phillipines, Indochina, and New Guinea during the 2nd Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) and World War II (1939-1945)

How did Japan lose its independence?

Japan has always been independent. Unlike many other countries in Asia, Japan was never taken as a colony by a Western power. The only small footnote is that Japan was occupied by the U.S. following World War II (from 1945 to 1951), but that is different from colonization.

What were internment camps before they were used on Japanese Americans?

Some conspiracy theorists claim the camps were built prior to Dec. 7. In a few cases, existing buildings, such as well-used smelly horse stables at racetracks, were used. Another example is former Civilian Conservation Corps camps out in the hills. In Hawaii, some camps were simple canvas tents with a fence around them. Most internment camps were located and built new specifically to house the internees, and after the war, fell into disuse. For example, ex-POW Gerald Coffee recalled that as a child in California, his family moved to Reno Nevada after the Pearl Harbor attack because his father left his lumberyard employment for a long term construction job near there. Years, later, he discovered the job was the construction of an internment camp!
