The United States reaction to the bombing on Pearl Harbor leads to the fall of the Japan Empire, due to the United States involvement with the Doolittle Raid, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and the Atomic Bombs. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt told the Joint Chief of Staffs to bomb the Empire of Japan. He wanted the Japan Empire to be bombed as soon as possible to boost patriotism throughout the United States. Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle planned and led the attack. Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle’s plan to attack the Japan Empire was to use B-25 aircrafts to drop on Japan and then to land in China were there would be Chinese Aircrafts to help guide and refuel the B-25s to the Chongqing Chinese military base.
Both I think backfired somewhat because they caused America to come together and fight the enemy. On a calm Sunday morning on December 7, 1941, the Japanese shocked the world by bombing the American naval base at Pearl Harbor. The bombing happened because the U.S. Pacific Fleet based in Pearl Harbor could foil their plans to attack the American mainland. As insurance, the Japanese navy undertook an operation to cripple the Pacific Fleet by a surprise air attack. It succeeded.
World War II had many devastating blows and attacks on numerous countries. World War II started with the German invasion of Poland. Only a year after, Germany invaded Denmark, Norway, France, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, and Belgium. The consecutive year, Italy declared war on France and Britain, while the Nazis bombed Coventry, England. In 1941 December 7, the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked the U.S. Pacific Fleet anchored at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; which caused the U.S. to declare war.
Japan was preparing for war as it was negotiating peace. In November 1941, an aircraft carrier air strike force secretly set sail toward the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The incident, which shocked the U.S. Pacific Fleet, confirmed that the United States would turn out to be a major trouper in the war. On November 29, the Japan government and the military chief met, and discussed the cause and effect of the war. They decided to attack the pearl harbor.
This led to the U.S. to abandon their support for non-interventionism, declaring war on Japan and entering World War II. The U.S. entered World War II in support of China, France, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom. These were later called the Allies. Four days later, Hitler along with Germany and the Axis powers, declared war on the United States. The Japanese seemed to have great success after Pearl Harbor as they followed this with the rapid conquest of Hong Kong, Singapore, Burma, the Philippines, Malaya and New Guinea.
IMPACT OF WORLD WAR II ON THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE BY: SARAH WINCHELL World War 2 began in 1939 when Germany declared war on Poland hours after the Germans faked an attack from Poland. This resulted in France and Britain, because they had a defensive pact with Poland at the time, declaring war on Germany. Japan wanting more land and resources, had begun taking over China. The U.S. didn’t want to aid the Japanese so they set up embargos cutting off Japanese exports. This would cripple the Japanese forces.
In World War II, the Americans dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, one in Hiroshima and the other in Nagasaki. The bombs caused insurmountable damage and together killed over 100,000 Japanese citizens. Although at times the decision has been questioned; it was necessary for President Harry Truman to drop the atomic bombs on Japan in order to end the war. On July 26, 1945, at the Postdam Conference in Germany, the three main allied powers (Britain, America and Russia) met and issued Japan an ultimatum. Japan was left with two choices; surrender unconditionally or “face prompt and utter destruction” (Wheeler 58).
Japanese Internment Camp December 7, 1941 was the date America was attacked by Isoroku Yamamoto and his navel and pilot crew. They were aiming for the navel base pearl harbor, all the ships in the docs, buildings, and many more. This horrible event led the United States to get out of neutrality and get into world war II. The U.S didn’t want a event like this to happen on their own soil again, so they rounded up all of the Japanese population from the coast and many other parts of the country. They sold their property and land that they worked so hard to buy for little to no cost.
The Americans had estimated that there were about 65,000 Japanese troops on the island; the Americans plan was to destroy what was left of the Japanese merchant fleet and use airstrips in the region to launch bombing raids on Japan’s industrial heartland. Being named the bloodiest battle in the Pacific War meant more than just a few casualties. The invasion began on April 1, when 60,000 American troops landed on the front lines. The battle proceeded in four phases: First, the advance of the eastern coast; Second, the clearing of the northern part of the island; Third, the occupation of the outlying islands and Fourth, the main battle which started on April 6, and did not end until June 21. The final phase was extremely difficult because the Japanese were well entrenched and the naval
They were relocated because, of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters, as a surprise military strike for the U.S Pacific Fleet from interfering with the decisions of the Japanese Empire. This had happened on the morning of December 7, 1941. During these relocation times, Japanese-Americans fought
