Pearl Harbor

I'll leave two Related Links - one with the entire speech, and another with the effects after the speech.

I have seen different numbers. One is a total of 2,403 with 68 of them civillian. All have centered near 2,400 total deaths.

In Canada, most of their belongings and land/homes, fishing boats, stores etc were simply auctioned off by the government.

The Canadian government issued an order that anything that could not be taken with the Internees to the camps, was to be "taken into custody". This meant it became the property of the Canadian government.

Although the property was supposed to be kept safe, this did not happen. Almost everything was sold off - much for a fraction of what it was actually worth.

In America, I think that most of the furniture and valuable possessions were raided out of the house by the army. When the Japanese went to the internment camps they got to take some clothing, and left the rest at home.

In some cases, neighbors and friends took care of homes and businesses during the war and returned them intact upon their return. In others, they simply lost everything. It was many decades before any sort of reparations where paid to those losing so much.

It is named Sri Lanka and it was once called Ceylon.

no. not everything is true in a movie

It didn't. The Spanish American War was almost half a century before World War II and had nothing whatsoever to do with Hawaii. Michael Montagne In the recent book "Flyboys" (highly recommended) the author makes some interesting connections between European/Western imperialism and the Japanese imperialism that led up to World War II and the attack on Pearl Harbor. During the Spanish-American War the US kicked the imperialist Spanish out of the Americas, but in some ways, replaced it with an American brand of imperialism. The Japanese believed they were exercising the same sort of power over their own backyard in Asia.

At the highest level, Churchill must have been elated knowing that the US entry into the war was an important factor. Hitler may have been concerned because the US involvement meant real problems for Germany. If these feelings extended to all of society is questionable.

japan and Germany were allies (axis powers)

Correct.

Things were pretty calm in '70 in Phu Bai AO (Area of Operation). You had to "look" for a fight in those heavily congested US areas in 1970. Or...go into the I Corps AO near the Laos border (Khe Sanh, Rock Pile, Lang Vei, etc.) or Con Thien (US Army names: A4 and C2 Firebases) AO near the DMZ, didn't have to look for a fight (trouble) in those places...the NVA were in those regions and they would hunt GI's!

Japanese losses were light, with 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 65 service men killed or wounded

To save space, harbors are small.

The Japaneze bombed Pearl Habour on December 7th 1941 The US got involved in WWII by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour (Japan attacked the US as they saw them as a threat to there growth in the pacific and Pearl Harbour was the US main Pacific military port); as Germany was Japan's ally they declared war on the US for no apparent reason other than that Hitler thought it was a good idea. So the US joined Britain in the Allies and joined the fight against the Nazis and Britain helped the US attack Japan.

2,403 Americans were killed at Pearl Harbor - 68 civilian, 2,335 military.

I heard it was in New Zealand. I could be wrong, but apparently I work at the second (or first, according to a few different sites) harbor in the world which is Ma'alaea Harbor on Maui, Hawaii. It is definitely windy constantly so I wouldn't doubt it.

The Italian general populace of the United States were not interned. Initially, unconstitutional actions were taken against the Germans, Italians and Japanese when the federal government restricted them from living near ports and other places. They were called "enemy aliens" improperly until unionist Italian workers in New York City objected. They eventually had all their restrictions lifted. I have added a related link for you to read the details of these events. Added Note: The USA would never have been able to intern the German and Italian American citizens because of the shear numbers of them. If you removed them from New York City alone you would have had to remove about half the population of NYC. There would have been no way for the federal government to house them, feed them and guard them. The US would have lost a huge amount of people to contribute to the war effort and fulfill the needs of the military. Enough famous Italians and Germans convinced Roosevelt and the Congress they could never intern that many people or determine who were actually "enemies and spies".

Victory in Europe.

VE Day was on May 8, 1945, ending hostitities in Europe. World War 2 continued for about four more months in Asia and the Pacific until it officially ended on VJ Day.

The real Japanese goal was to take over the Philippines, so as to neutralize the possibility of American forces based there interfering with their plans for further conquest. The attack on Pearl Harbor was an elaboration on this strategy, to so damage the US fleet as to keep the US Navy from being able to interfere with Japanese attacks in the Philippines and southeast Asia. The Japanese attacked the Philippines at about the same time as they did Pearl Harbor, and within days had invaded the Philippines in heavy force. By May, 1942 the Japanese had completely defeated the American and Filipino defenders of the Philippines.

The Japanese also won a naval victory in the Battle of the Java Sea in February, 1942, completely destroying a hodgepodge collection of American, British, Dutch and Australian ships, fleeing the advancing Japanese who had deprived them of their anchorages.

The Japanese captured Wake Island, after first being repulsed once by the American garrison.

All this was in accord with the Japanese plan. They felt they needed six months after they attacked the US to conquer the prizes they had their eyes on and to consolidate their hold on them. They thought that, confronted with the Japanese firmly in control of its new conquests, the US, being weak and irresolute, would give up and make some kind of a peace, and let Japan keep what it had won. The Japanese had completely misread the Americans, and the American determination to see Japan completely defeated that took hold in America after Pearl Harbor. The Japanese never defeated the US after May, 1942, and the war was probably lost to them after the Battle of Midway in June, 1942, but it took over three more years and millions of dead to convince them.

George Washington died in 1799. Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941, when Washington had been dead for 142 years. Pearl Harbor was not attacked with nuclear weapons, since they did not exist in 1941. You need to pay attention in History class.

to attack japan.

An exception to the exclusionary rule that permits law enforcement officers to search a motor vehicle based on probable cause but without a warrant. The fleeting-targets exception is predicated on the fact that vehicles can quickly leave the jurisdiction of a law enforcement agency

the game would cost 25-35 dollars (without tax)
