The Attack on Pearl Harbor
On the night of December 7, 1941, the Honolulu Naval Base is suddenly awoken by the sound of unfamiliar airplanes. Little did they know that these airplanes originated from Japan, with intent to assert their world dominance and pledge allegiance to Germany and Italy. The attack lasted for two hours and in those two hours, the Japanese managed to twenty naval vessels, eight battleships, and three-hundred airplanes. The death toll was just over 2,000 people and over 1,000 people injured.
One day after the attack, President Roosevelt declared war on Japan. One day after that, Italy and Germany declare war on the United States.
The Japanese attacked the Naval base by surprise and their reason being that they believed the only way to solve its increasing economic dip was to expand its land onto neighbors land, the neighbors being the Germans and the Italian.
One reason that the attack on Pearl Harbor was such a surprise was because the American government though that Japan wouldn't attack due to its economic status and its new-found allegiance to Germany and Italy.
In all, the attack on Pearl Harbor left America in an angry state. Leaving America like this, will have caused Japan to make one of its greatest mistakes.
The Presidents following Roosevelt still have not forgave the Japanese for the attack.
