For my World War 2 Project I did Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor occurred of December 7, 1941 and changed the world forever. This surprise attack by Japan caused the United States to join the war.

On 1941, December 7th, Pearl Harbor was bombed to a fine crisp. America had been slowly chipping away at Japanese patience, they had halted the trading, disabled the Japanese from coming into our country, stopped Japanese bank accounts (going in or out) and many other reasons which struck anger amongst our Japanese allies. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor for 3 main reasons. One, the Japanese had a plan for a new world order. Secondly.
December 7th, 1941 was Pearl Harbor. It was 7:55 am when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The atomic bomb was just.

The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor because the United States was the only country able to stop Japanese expansion in the Pacific. The Japanese also chose Pearl Harbor because it was the home of the American pacific fleet. American intervention was important to the war because the United States had the manpower and the massive industry. When in 1943 American industries kicked into gear and the army ranks climbed to millions, the United States became a massive force to be reckoned with. The United States decided to drop the Atomic Bomb because it was the only option that would not cause thousands of American casualties.
When I first saw the title of the argument, I suddenly remembered the show I watched whether President Roosevelt knew the information that Japan was planning an attack on Pearl Harbor or not. Because the show was only focusing on the myth that the President knew the upcoming attack, it was interesting to read two different arguments. The argument first starts with explaining what caused Japan to attack on Pearl Harbor. Then two authors named Robert A. Theobald and Roberta Wohlsteetter claim each yes and no argument. According to the paper, Theobald is a “retired rear admiral,” who wrote The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor, which contends President Roosevelt knew the information that Japan was coming to attack on Pearl Harbor.
