Pearl Harbor was the second big war that the United State of America has been in. Most on my information that I have of Pearl Harbor was giving to me by movie and of what teacher have said. Pearl Harbor took place in in Hawaii,Hanalulu.The army did not want to have the ship there because the water was very shallow water. Benifit of having the ship there was that if anything was to happen they were close to the Pacific Ocean and the ship could sail to where they were need.United State of America knew that the Japans where acting weird but the decided to ignored it ,and that what really hurt them. They had information that the Japans ship where in the right places and did not pay attentions to it. Most of the United State ship where in Hawaii in Oahu and Honolulu. The sealer had no idea what was going to happen to they this morning. Most of the sealer would sleep or out with there family.Oahu and Honolulu where good places to place the ship because the island Franklin D. Roosevelt was scared that Germany was taking to much power over the other country. The president of the United State of America was scared that Germany was going to attack America. Roosevelt saw a way to help Great British. When Great British get help from America the would very happy because Germany was about to destroy them. Roosevelt saw a way that would benefit both country. Great British would fight and America could be the hero with out choosing a side. In August 1941 America decide to become alliances with England. Italy was also with the United State of America but betrayed America and went back with Japan, Germany and other European country. America said that it was going to have war again Germany, Japan, Italy, and other ally of them that where European country. American and Japan problem started before world war II , it start with world war I. America saw Japan became powerful in the pacific ocean , and building it army. America saw Japan as a threat to America way of life. Both of the had rocky relationship but knew that had to act like if not happen. After Japan decided to attack Indochina all relationship with America broke of. Our president knew the only way to hurt Japan was by the economy. Our president decided to freeze all deals that both country had together. What really hurt Japan economy was the oil that was being sold by America to them. Japan did not like the action that America took with them , so they decided to attack on Pearl Harbor. Japan did not thing about there next step that causes the death of a lot of innocent people. Japan decided to do a surprise attack to Pearl Harbor where the USA military was at. Japan attack with 353 aircraft and sank down four Navy Battle Ship, three cruiser, three destroyers ,and one mine layer. Japan attack on a Sunday morning on December 7,1941. Most of the sailor would sleeping in the ship and other where sleeping with there family. The main Japanese captain know that what they would going to hurt Japan in the end and not help it. Japan soldier kill 2,402 and hurt 1,282. the ship were sank with people in them . After Japan aircraft left people would running to help soldier that would trap in the ship.
Their was to much people trap in the ship and not a lot of people to help them escape. You could hear the soldier screaming for help inside the ship. Some soldier got out and for other it was to late. Some of the soldier family decided to leave their love once in the ship and let them rest in peace. In August 1945 America decided to get back at Japan and send one nuclear bomb in Hiroshima, Japan. Then three days past and send the second nuclear bomb to Nagasaki. Thrutch website said that there was about 300,000 death of civilians killed. In my opinion I would had done the same action that America did.Like a person said an "eye for a eye and a tooth for a tooth." Whoever made that quote was a very smart man.
