Pearl Harbor

A group of ships armed for war

The US was NOT at war prior to the attack.

I would say US since the size differential gives them the upper hand on resources. Not to disparage japan at all, they are technologically superior/equal in many areas. If they were as big as the US. they would be a major player. They are still a superpower & may have the best Navy in the world. Being an Island, they recognize the importance of a strong Navy. Americans are hard workers, but discipline & being industrious is drilled into the Japanese at an early age as well as education.

To not expect something

Some perspectives: Why did they attack? Who were they? What's going to happen now? Are we at war? How did this happen? How did heavily armored US battleships sink so easily (US Battleships had NEVER been sunk in battle before)? Is this a war with Japan? Or a war against Germany? Or a war against both? Was this a great enemy victory? Or a great enemy error?

No

To answer this question you need to do some research into the history of Udal Law in Shetland. The Shetland and Orkney Udal Law group (SOUL) can be found on the Internet and highlights the main points of the argument. Basically, although Shetland and Orkney are acknowledged as being under Scottish rule since the annexation, the annexation was not entirely legal. Shetland and Orkney were pledged as part of a dowry payment in 1468/9 with the understanding that sovereignty would not be handed over and the islands would be redeemed at a later date when the money could be raised. The Scottish Crown was fly - even though the Danish/Norwegian Crown made several attempts to regain control of Shetland and Orkney, the Scottish Crown refused. Shetland was increasingly brought under Scottish rule and the issue of sovereignty was never fully addressed. Under Udal law, outright ownership of land included the seabed - so if Shetland is still legally Scandinavian and Udal law has never been completely replaced, then the seabed around Shetland belongs to Shetland and not to Scotland. North sea oil around the Shetland basin therefore belongs to Shetland and the Scottish Crown is well aware of this. To openly address the issue of Shetland's sovereignty is thus to make this public knowledge...and the British parliament wouldn't want that...now would they?

I would say it was the fact that it got America firmly in the war and also stopped Britain from being taken over by the nzis, cause FDR or Churchill (not sure which) sent troops to the UK insteead of defending themseves, therefore defending Britain and stopping the takeover

The US was neutral until the Pearl Harbor attack in December of 1941. After that date, the US was never neutral until the end of the cold war in 1990. After the cold war, the US Military had to re-organize for non-cold war operations; and commence LAW ENFORCEMENT functions to supplement it's traditional warfare missions. Today's conflicts in Southwest Asia reflect those new doctrines: Returning Law, Order, and Stability to certain regions, accompanied by the apprehension/elimination of terrorists, insurgents, and other personnel undermining the goals of the US/Coalition Forces.

gain controll over it. if they could gain control of these islands they could refuel their aircraft on the island. thts y the Japanese wanted pearl harbor so they can use tht island as a pitstop to prepare their attack on the us mainland, possibly having a beter chance in causing more damage and casualties to the usa

they were mad

No. Not in WW2. There were no operational helicopters until really after the War.

On December 7, 1941 the Japanese Empire attacked the naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The people in nearby Honolulu got very upset by this.

Japan and Germany had prepared for war. The rest of the world had to "react" to it and were not as prepared as they should have been.

Ivan the Terrible

The British forces were commanded by General Haig his plan was to use artillery fire on the German trenches and completely destroy them once they were destroyed the British soldiers would walk over to the German trenches and meet little Resistance

The shells that were fired at the Germans were of poor condition and the German soldiers had been in their trench for over a year and a half so they had dugouts many of which were reinforced with concrete. The British soldiers walked over because they were told no Germans would be fighting back. There was in fact many German soldiers who were more experienced and more trained than the British and the Haigs artillery acted as more of an alarm bell for the Germans.

Many people claim it is general Haigs fault because he seemed to think that barbed wire would be destroyed by explosives ( it just lifts it a few feet and drops it having a negative effect) and that walking over no mans land with unloaded rifles is a good idea.

The casualties were so high because Haig just threw more lives at the problem as he was stubborn and didnt want to be seen as a failure. The British did win although over 1,000,000 lives were lost in this one Battle

The USS Caine is a fictional ship in the book "The Caine Mutiny" which is a converted WW1 ship, The story is set in a a historic typhoon in 1944 and is about a non=violent mutiny.

FDR did not declare war on any nation, war was declared on them (by a German public address) or by Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, which was perceived as an obvious act of war, thus making the USA at war with Japan.
