Pearl Harbor

Pearl harbor was home to the U.S. Pacific fleet. It was the only fleet powerful enough to interfere with Japan's offensive into SouthEast Asia and the Pacific. They needed to damage/destroy it to such an extent that they would be able to safely take all of their objectives before the U.S. had recovered.

the affect is the US finally decided to enter WWII. Before the US was trying to stay neutral. the us was effected by the bombing of pearl harbor by they lost many men, planes supplies, and ships. as well as money

Pearl Harbor is the base. It is US Navy base. The home of the Pacific fleet. The following targets on the Island of Oahu were assigned to these Japanese units: 1st and 2nd Fighter Combat Units: Ford Island and Hickam Field. 3rd and 4th Fighter Combat Units: Wheeler Field and Barbers Point. 5th and 6th Fighter Combat Units: Kaneohe Ford Island was in the middle of Pearl Harbor and Hickam Field was an air base just south of it. Wheeler Field was some distance away in the center of the island. Kaneohe was on a point on the east end of the island of Oahu. A second attack was planned for the same targets but this was canceled due to the success of the initial strike.

After the event of Pearl Harbor, Americans felt threatened by the Japanese-Americans. The Americans thought the Japanese-Americans on the East coast had contact with their kind in Japan and that they should cut that conact. They immedietly started moving all Japanese-Americans to interment camps all over, but left them the choice of either going to the camps, or going to Japan. Not many moved back to Japan, feeling defient and angry. The Japanese-Americans lived in their camp for under ten years, and then where allowed to leave.

They took off from six IJN aircraft carriers which had stationed themselves a few hundred miles north of the Hawaiian Islands. At that time, there were no bombers in the world capable of making a land-based attack on Pearl Harbor.

At the Battle of Pearl Harbor, the US did not attack or sink any Japanese ships. It wasn't until the Battle of Midway a few months later that the US got revenge by sinking or damaging some of their carriers that were involved in the Pearl Harbor attack.

The Japanese launch code was "Tora Tora Tora" Tora translates into "tiger" in English.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, men around the country lined up for blocks outside their local recruiters offices. This was an attack that would not go unanswered - as per their reactions as well as President Roosevelt's declaration of war against Japan. In short - yes, the US did help defeat Japan following the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Pearl Harbour was attacked December 7th 1941. Japan surrendered September 2, 1945. Call it four years.

The US military inflicted a lot of damage on the Japanese. The Imperial Navy lost 5 mini-submarines, 29 airplanes, and all the pilots and crewmen that were in those.
The Japanese made a terrible mistake when they bombed Pearl Harbour. They brought America officially into the war. The price paid by the Japanese was terrible (with massive loss of life on both sides), culminating in the dropping of two atomic bombs by the Americans on Japanese. There is much debate, even today, on the use of the two bombs, but it did stop the war and prevented further loss of American and their Allies lives.

Isolationists in the public and in Congress wanted to avoid US involvement in foreign wars, which would recur on a regular basis in Europe and Asia. The stories of US soldiers in World War 1 clearly described the horrors of war, and the deaths and injuries that invariably resulted from such conflicts. Many influential people welcomed the rebuilding of the economy after the Depression, and were not anxious for the government to begin the huge expenditures and industrial retooling necessary for the expansion of the armed forces.

The first attack wave, consisting of 49 bombers, 40 torpedo planes, 51 dive bombers, and 43 fighter aircraft; this was followed by a second wave of 54 bombers, 78 dive bombers, and 36 fighters.

414 Japanese aircraft, 390 American aircraft. That's 804 planes but most of the American ones weren't even in the air.

US & Japan had pretty warm relations before WWII, although u can say anti Western sentiment started surfacing in Japan during the SHowa movement. Introduction of Ministry of Shinto Religion & incorporating it w/ political life surely created an element of xenophobia in Japan.

Trade between US & Japan was not unheard of. Many Japanese items were household hits in USA & in West, especially saltpaper photography. Even top Japanese generals toured the US & both nations did exchange high level attaches w/ each other. The General who defended Iwo Jima, General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, did a very exhaustive study & tour of US, for instance.

US did facilitate trade deals w/ Japan esp. after it became a resource hungry nation after Meiji govt.

Approximately 3.5 million.

The Essex class aircraft carrier, USS Intripid CV-11, was launched on April 26, 1943 at Newport news, Va. Ref: THE ESSEX CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, by Andrew Faltum, Naval & Aviation Publishing Co. 1996.

"US stated the invasion of Manchuria not a threat to US interest (1931). " please stop posting wrong answers. United States had an open door policy with China, which means opposing spheres of influence will affect trade between China and the U.S.

The US joined WW2 after Pearl Harbor. They joined the war in Europe and the war against Japan - and also the war against Italy which was a bit of a joke. The Japanese had invaded many islands in the far east especially in the Philipines each of which needed to be liberated at the cost of many lives as the Japanese saw surrender as dishonour. Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima are examples (I've seen the John Wayne films). In an attempt to stop the Japanese continuing their fighting, the USA dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima on Aug 6th 1945 and on Nagasaki (the Japanese didn't surrender after Hiroshima) on August 9th. Japan sensibly surrendered on Aug 15th 1945. These two strikes on the heartland of Japan could be viewed as the counter attack for Parl Harbor.

Caught off guard, it certainly wasn't a DIFFICULT target; the assaulting forces lost 29 aircraft, 5 midget submarines, and 65 personnel (1 captured, the rest killed) while destroying 188 aircraft (and damaging another 159), sinking or damaging 19 ships (including all 8 battleships present at the time), and killing over 2400 soldiers and sailors (plus some civilians, and wounding 1200 people).

It was not as easy target as the Japanese thought, though, in the long run. While it did remove the US battleships from the war early on,it turned out that the all three of the Pacific Fleet's aircraft carriers were not present at the time of the attack, and the failure to destroy the naval yard meant that within a year 2 of the battleships were back in service, and the missing battleships made the US rely more heavily on aircraft carriers to devastating effect.

Pearl Harbor is in Hawaii, which at the time was a US Territory. The Navy base at Pearl is still there. The main attack was against the ships and airfields on the island and several specific locations where attacked.

The "cause" was that Japan wanted to control all of the islands of the Pacific and the U.S. Navy was considered to be an impediment to the Japanese plans. The effect of the attack of Pearl Harbor was that it forced the U.S. into a war with Japan; a war that ended in the unleashing of the worlds first, and hopefully last, use of a nuclear bomb in an attempt to defeat an enemy. twenty-one ships of the U.S. Pacific fleet were damaged and the death toll reached 2,403, along with 68 civilians and 1,178 injured. Of the military personnel lost at Pearl Harbor, 1,177 were from the Arizona.

In 1949, the Soviet Union demonstrated that it had acquired the atomic bomb. This was likely due to technology liberated from Germany and the documents provided by spies and sympathizers in the US and England. The second major shock was the final victory of Mao Zedong and the Communists in China, which established it as the largest Communist regime in the world, and posed a threat to the interests of the US in Asia and the Pacific.
