Pearl Harbor

What did industrialization and the factory system have on the u.s

The surprise-attack by the Japanese upon Pearl Harbor (Hawaii) on December 7, 1941, had several important consequences. For one thing, it brought America into World War II. For another thing, it severely reduced American naval strength, giving the Japanese a decisive military edge as the war began. For yet another, it infused into America a commitment to wage war until victory was achieved, as the attack was seen by most as underhanded and otherwise unfair.

Even though this was disputed and viewed as racism, all Japaneese peoples (citizen & non-citizen) were put into relocation towns (similar to prisons) because they were thought of as still having loyalty toward the Imperial Japaneese Empire and spys.

Prior to the attack the United States was still (officially) neutral in the war. The attack of Pearl Harbor guaranteed that America would immediately enter the war on the Allied side.

The attack by Japanese dive-bombers, torpedo planes and fighter aircraft on Pearl Harbor clearly demonstrated the superiority of aircraft over surface ships. It follows that the American carriers, with their large number of attack planes, posed a significant threat to the Japanese fleet.

Failing to destroy the American carriers (because they were not present at the US base) meant that the major US strike force was untouched in the attack. Had the carriers been sunk, the Japanese could easily have attacked the west coast of the USA.

There was 90 ships docked in Pearl Harbor. Three ships sank, while four more took damage.

December 6, 1941 was the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This is also dubbed Pearl Harbor Day. Answer: Close but wrong, the attack on Pearl Harbor took place on Dec. 7th, 1941.

B-17 were not used during the attack at Pearl Harbor. Six B-17's were scheduled to land when the attack started but they were unarmed aircraft because it was a peacetime flight and they were transferring the aircraft to the Island. Radar reported a large wave of aircraft coming in but it was thought that it was the B-17's coming in not an attack of Japanese fighters. Very few American aircraft got off the ground during the attack.

well think about it... we have two ally country's below us and above us not only that but the pacific and Atlantic oceans are on the sides of us so attacking America full head on is nearly impossible because we can easily spot them.

FDR feared, rightly so, that an unchecked Germany would conquer all of Europe and potentially plunge the world into a nightmare. FDR thought that Britain and France alone could not stop Germany. And as history has shown he was correct. Without Lend Lease, Britain would have been bankrupt by 41. FDR was the one that came up with the saying, "Germany first". What he meant by this was he planned to involve the US in the European conflict as quickly as possible. Pearl Harbor almost ruined this. If Hitler had not declared war on the US, it would have been almost impossible to have gotten Congress to declare war on both Germany and Japan, since Japan was the only nation who had attacked us up to that point. History has proven FDR to have been very wise. Without US help both direct and indirect, Britain would not have been able to sustain itself forcing her to negotiate with Hitler. In addition, without Lend Lease, Stalin would not have had the means (supplies, transports, etc) to have allowed his armies to attack. It is true that the Soviet Union could support war equipment (bullets, tanks, planes) but the finer things like uniforms, boots, FOOD, were supplied largely by the US and the UK. FDR also feared that communism would be taking over and wanted to get involved in the war to stop it.

The year was1941 when it stared.

During world war 2, Japan along with the other axis powers, attacked pearl harbor located in hawaii u.s.a on december 21, 1952. This event had caused u.s.a to join the allied powers in world war 2 to defeat the axis powers...

In 1940, the US Navy's Battleship Fleet transferred to Pearl Harbor, from it's old base in Los Angeles (Long Beach), California. Obtain the book: "Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor." (2000); By Robert B. Stinnett.

The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was the name given to an economic initiative of Imperial Japan during the 1940s. Publicly announced in 1940, it was intended to unify East Asian nations in a set of mutually beneficial trade, agricultural, and manufacturing agreements. The initiative failed to achieve any significant results due to war with the United States and the fundamentally self-interested involvement of Japan in the initiative.
The Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere was the name and concept given by the Japanese Imperial Government to the aggregate of the lands they conquered.

Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga was created on 1929-11-30.

These were small planes that were known to Americans as "zeroes" because of the round, zero-like markings on the wings. To the Japanese those markings symbolized the sun, which was a symbol of Japan, based upon the Shinto religion which taught that the Emperor of Japan was descended from the sun god.

There was no need, the allies never had to even make a plan to send soldiers to Japan as they had defeated the Japanese forces in other parts of Asia and the bombing of Japan was enough to make the Japanese surrender.

Cause the US stopped sending Japan resources so they got pissed and they started planning to destroy Pearl Harbor (very important military base).

President Reagan apologized for the horrible treatment of Japanese-Americans during World War II over 40 years later in 1988.

Actually, it was the Japanese that attacked Pearl Harbor. And yes, that was the prime reason we were brought in WWII.

They sent in aircrafts with bombs to attack different targets. They were trying to attack the military bases.

There were present at Pearl Harbor 8 cruisers, 2 heavy cruisers and 6 light cruisers when the attack came. Three cruisers were damaged but none were destroyed.
