Ms. Maria Hernandez Professor Dr. Botson History 1302 MF 10:00 AM -12:00 PM The reasons Japan attacked the US was for the access to natural resources such as oil, rubber, coal rice and tin through Southeast Asia. This also was a preventive action which kept the US Pacific Fleet ships from interfering with military actions. In addition, Japan and US had tensions and hostility since the 1920s and with the attacks on the USS Panay and the Nanking Massacre the Americans’ public opinion turn against Japan resulting in a Western fear of Japanese expansion. Furthermore, Japan invaded Indochina in 1940 leading US to stop shipments of airplanes, parts, machine tools and gasoline therefore Japan interpreted as an unfriendly act.
Why We Fight On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked upon American naval forces and air defenses at Pearl Harbor. This event gave Franklin Roosevelt the justification he needed to enter the United States in World War II. Other than that there were additional motivations for America’s entrance into the war. In 1931 Japanese invaded Manchuria. American had good relations with China so they told Japan if they don’t leave they will stop trading oil with them.
They believe if they don’t police the world and give aid in certain disasters they will be seen as tyrants and turned against by foreign nations, and it is a well-known fact that the US cannot survive without foreign supplies, especially with its constantly failing economy. One of the main foreign supplies the US depends on is oil. We can relate many of our foreign to our need of oil and right now our foreign oil is below 50 percent and our government is beginning to realize just how deep our foreign dependency is (debate). Foreign oil is the reason we went into the war in Iraq (debate). If we didn’t enter the war in Iraq we would have taken a major dip in foreign oil, and we are already running low (politifact).
Again in the media there are concerns about finding oil and the cost of getting it to the United States, so when the oil companies start setting up new stations it can guarantee some security in the future. Also economists might see the built as a positive shift in the economy. Oil companies foresee the area flourishing and they are coming to settle before the people get there. The factor of expectations could be hard to read because every decision made from a forecast is a risk that may change the market as a whole in the
Document C states the U.S placed an embargo on Japan (stopped trading Japan oil). Japans need for oil caused the Japanese to attack because without the
2.2- Different influences that have affected US Airlines, using the STEEP heading of Sociological, Technological, Economic, Environmental and Political factors Sociological factors- One of the main factors for air travellers to change their social attitude towards flying was the September 11th 2001 terrorist attack Technological factors- The global use of the Internet and the ability to compare prices online, has affected US Airlines. As well as low cost airlines offering online, cheaper prices if bought tickets well in advance. Economic factors- The possible increase in oil prices due to a likely prospect of a war with Iraq, would mean that US Airways would not be able to survive with the continuing decrease in passengers and still
Many reasons were behind the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor. Once the Japanese decided they were going to war with the US, they wanted to cripple the US naval forces. Japan was very upset that President Roosevelt cut off the oil, scrap iron, steel, as well as many other goods to Japan. Japan also attacked Pearl Harbor first because the geographical location to Japan. Japan wanted to acquire their oil and other resources from Indochina (peninsula containing Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.)
The economic growth has put too much stress on the nature. There are many types of environmental damage, and Mckibben examines climate change in the chapter. He points out that climate change is not some future specter and it’s already emerging as the biggest problem the world faces. He also insists that the richer people get, the dirtier the air is, and this is indeed one of the environmental destruction that he described in the chapter. Another destruction that he talks about is the global warming.
Since September 11th, ensuring that our country and citizens remain safe and free from any attacks is very important to voters. Rick Perry needs to stand strong on this issue. In order to be strong and remain strong among other nations, we must first get our economy back on track. He will need to address this first as one of his top priorities. Next, he needs to push American exceptionalism.
The 21st Century Energy Boom: An In-depth Analysis of the Benefits of Hydraulic Fracking The controversy of hydraulic fracking is mainly funded by energy corporations and environmental organizations, with the government slowly encroaching after public outcry. With the bias of pro-fracking from energy companies wanting to make money from newly found American natural gas prospects and the anti-fracking claims from environmentalist who are against drilling or operations on American soil wanting very restricting regulations on fracking that would make the process cost more and thus not have the economic benefits that are present now. Through the use of several databases, I have found several different articles that strengthen both sides of
