Pearl Harbor

To try to destroy the US fleet, especially the carriers, forcing the US to agree they would leave the Pacific to Japan and not interfere. However the carriers were not in the harbor, so all they did was get the US very angry.

Do not bunch planes and ships together to protect them. Spread them out making them a harder target. Do not lock up or remove ammunition and weapons.k Reading Walter Lord's "Day of Infamy" would help better explain this.

back then all that mattered was power kind of like Hitler in a way. he wanted power so he forced and attack but his reasons were about religion mostly.

December 7, 1941 was the year of Pearl Harbor

Yes. At the time there were lines to enlist in some places. I heard of one instance where people were ready to join one service (we'll say the army) but the line was too long so they moved across the street to a shorter line for another service (say the marines). There were also lots of people who lied about their age to be able to enlist early and others who waited (at times a few years) until their age and instantly enlisted. That one act really did awaken a sleeping giant.

Battle of Guadacanal Battle of Guadacanal

The use of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki .

The bombing happen in Pearl Harbor which is in Hawaii. It happened at 7:55 a.m. on December 7, 1941.

In the years following World War I, Germany was harshly treated by the victorious Allied powers via the Treaty of Versailles that formally ended the war. Per this treaty, portions of Germany's eastern and western borders were occupied by allied forces or handed over to other nations. At the same time, Germany's military force was severely reduced, with no airplanes and no tanks of any kind allowed. These punishments were a primary cause of the resentment that built up in Germany and that led to the outbreak of World War II.

In Canada, in most parts, they worked on and built rail roads.

See "USS ARIZONA" by Joy Waldon Jasper, St.Martin's Press, 2001 for complete list of casualties and survivors.

There was a fear that the Japanese population (substantial in Hawail) would be sympathetic to Japan and may spy and/or commit acts of sabotage.

The planes were lined up in the "look sharp" formation to create a smaller containment area where they could be protected rather than spreading them out.

Of course, this made an easy target for the Japanese.

It depends on how far back you want to go. Japan was actually opposed to Germany and Austria-Hungary in World War I, seizing German colonial islands in the Pacific. Japan had previously annexed Korea in 1910.

In the 1930's Japan began an aggressive expansion into mainland Asia, annexing Manchuria in 1931 and occupying large areas of China in the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). During early World War II, losses to the Soviets led to a neutrality treaty that lasted until the closing days of the war against the US (from December 8, 1941 to September 2, 1945).

No, because he knew about the attack but said nothing because he knew this would bring the U.S. into war.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was an effort by the Japanese to disable the US Navy which would prevent our forces from fully taking part in World War 2.

Battleships are mostly made of steel. However battleships contain aluminum, brass, copper, iron, magnesium, and just about every other metal. The very last battleship built in the world was the British HMS Vanguard built in 1946.

the Japanese military masterminded the attack

they did this as there had been war in the past between the two country's over who should own Hawaii- where pearl harbour was. the Japanese bombed and attacked it as it was used as a Holiday resort and place to rest for the US navy, there were barley any defences as the Japanese struck at 8:00am. pearl harbour was obliterated.

Chester Nimitz

Assuming you mean the American fleet, it would be Admiral Nimitz. A brilliant and the most successful commander of ww11. He rebuilt and reorganized American naval forces in the Pacific and orchestrated the counterattack that ultimately destroyed the Japanese navy.

His fleet supported, transported and supplied General Douglas McArthur, the brilliant army and marines commander. It transported and supplied the USAAF. through the Solomons, island hopping, the Philippines, and through the Aleutians campaigns. Combined these destroyed Japanese military power in the Pacific and positioned American forces for a direct invasion of the Japanese home islands in 1945.

The Japanese Yamamato, must be considered a brilliant commander. He was singled out by American fliers who intercepted his plane over the southeast Pacific (late 1942 if I recall correctly). His death was a great blow to the Japanese although he could not have prevented Japan's collapse. They could put hardly a ship to sea at the end so loosing communication with the majority of their army, then in China, which faced general Chang Kai Check, with millions, and marshal Zhukov with hundreds of veteran red army divisions.

Generals Le May and McArthur captured the headlines but admiral Nimitz captured Japan, from an office.

In addition to attacking Pearl Harbor that day, Japan also attacked the U.S. territories of Guam, the Philippines, Wake Island, and Midway Island, as well as British interests in Malaya and Hong Kong

Just hours after they bombed Pearl Harbor, the Japanese attacked? Answer: Clark Field, an American air base When the Japanese advanced againist his troops, General MacArthur was forced to? Answer: leave the Philippines. Through their island hopping strategy, the Allies put themselves in a position to? Answer: bomb Japan The goal of the Manhattan Project was to? Answer: develop an atomic bomb Japans surrender came less than a week after? Answer: the destruction on Nagasaki 100% sure...already did it.

Could mean, United States Ship (USS). Example of use; USS Saratoga (a US Navy Ship).

Marble has been the material of choice for monuments for many hundreds of years. Along with its material properties (strong, soft, allows light to pass through it) it is also easily maintained and extremely durable over time. The corrosive salt atmosphere and tropical environment of Hawaii makes rock the ideal choice over other materials, and white marble is the historical choice of material for monuments in the U.S., as well as other countries.

Hi The answer is simple. Japan is a heavily industrial society, but there is absolutely no oil to be drilled in Japan. They have to import every single drop that they use, so obviously the world's supply and price of oil is very important to them. Phil

29 Japanese airplanes were downed, and 5 mini-subs were lost.
