The Japanese had modern weapons and more supplies that the Americans lacked. Because of this, American and Filipino troops had
For the United States to have a chance to win the battle they had to take risks. During the fighting of the battle, the Japanese were only able to sink 1 United States Cruiser which was hit by a torpedo. The United States was able to sink all 12 Japanese Cruisers. For this to happen the United States took many risks during the battle. They sent out a full air squadron to attack a Japanese ship and only a handful came back.
Most Japanese Soldiers were killed and not very many taken in as Prisoners of War. After being through so much advance and fighting, to be turned around and then terminated at the finish was a major disaster of devastation and emotion throughout all of Japan and its troops. Japan were prepared, knew how to jungle fight, and were willing to do anything to expand and get food for their country, but after being turned around and failing in their expedition, the devastation of it all was the worst emotional disaster that could have happened and this was what made the disaster of the war so major for Japan. But Japan weren’t the only ones who went through such a
Japan saw that Americans had slaves working their land and bringing free labor, ethnically cleansing campaigns against native Indians, and feasting on their recently won riches from the invasion of Mexico. Americans were full of greed in Japan’s eyes. Because of all this, Japan decided that their main priority should be to build an unstoppable military. This is what stopped the eight men of Chichi
Even though dropping the bomb on Japan was controversial it was the only way to end this war. Following, like what Justice Chamber said: “How to defeat an enemy that could not, would not admit defeat?”(Doc 3), Japan was different than any other country that US faced because Japan committed inhuman and selfless actions just to kill more US
Since Japan was a rising power they saw one country in the way from keeping their empire secure, the United States of America. Hence the attacked pearl harbor. Japan did this without thinking about the consequences that would later come. Unfortunately for Japan, the U.S. decided to end the war with two nuclear bombs, little boy, and fat man. These two bombs devastated Japan and caused them to surrender.
The U.S destroyed Japan's Naval power pushing their expansion back. Prior to the Battle of the Coral Sea the Japanese defeated all of its enemies from the Pacific to the Indian Oceans. This battle was important because the United States only lost one carrier out of four. Also because the United States stopped the march of the Japanese at midway, and the march never started again. The U.S destroyed Japan's naval power and Japan has never recovered.
America was left out of the war until then leaving only America to defeat or join forces with. Japan 's idea was to weaken the U.S. and leave them with no choice except to surrender. America was “easy pickings” for Japan, due to Germany finishing of Great Britain and leaving half of Russia and America to deal with. It was meant to be the end of the war many cities in ruins over the rule of the Nazi and Japanese armies that were almost unstoppable. In spite of Japan 's doings which in fact lead us into participating in the war the Pearl Harbor attack did indeed change America’s history.
America was thriving at a time thought impossible by the rest of the world. Japan had the element of surprise when the attack happened. The U.S. had assumed they were on good terms with Japan as they had been speaking of peace treaties. Although the Japanese had surprise on their side, the U.S. was too strong. By making the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese caused the country to become more united and strengthened by trial and destruction.
At the company’s inception in 2000, then Chief Executive Officer, Dennis Strigl, deliberately shaped and developed Verizon Wireless’ mission statement. He purposely ensured the mission statement not only described the reason for Verizon’s existence, but also distinctly defined its organizational values, desired culture, and exemplified how employees should interact with customers, competitors, suppliers, their communities, and team members (Verizon (USA), n.d.). “We focus outward on the customer, not inward” and “we know teamwork enables us to serve our customers better and faster” (Verizon (USA), n.d., p. 1) are two among many other declarations within the Verizon’s mission statement/credo that exemplify Verizon’s commitment to its customers
American is the only thing standing between Japan and complete domination of the Pacific. Pearl Harbor is the home of the American Pacific fleet. In the attack Japan destroyed much of the this fleet, allowing them to continue their agressions in the Pacific. Causlities of the attack are staggering. Over 3500 Navy, Army, Marine, and citzens were wounded or killed.
While the United States were pushing into Japan, an estimated 1 million people would have died trying to fight each other. The Atomic Bombs only killed around 200,000 people. Saving around 800,000 people. Dropping the Atomic Bombs also helped
On December 7th 1941 near Honolulu, Hawaii a dramatic devastating change happened. Many american lives were taken this day. A little before a 8 a.m on a Sunday morning Japan had a devastating effect on Hawaii. This attack happen suddenly and quickly. There is a u.s naval base near Honolulu called Pearl Harbor Nearly 20 American naval vessels, including 300 airplanes and eight battleships,were runined by the Japanese.
It seemed that strategically the Japanese was always one step ahead of the United States. Plans and strategies that took months to develop were ruined and thrown out. Because the Japanese had thought things through and had planned ahead to counteract any of the U.S. military actions or they just happen to be at the right place at the right time. At this point, the United States had very few options left, one of these options was to take the island of Okinawa. The purpose for this operation was to invade and establish air bases there to carry out bombing in Japan, forcing the Japanese to surrender.
Japan was already facing problems from America because America was taking back the land that Japan conquered by doing a war tactic called, island hopping. After they got really close to the island they made raids with incendiary bombs by targeting industries. This tactic is called strategic bombing. This made it “impossible for Japan to carry on a large scaled war”(B). At that point Japan was weak and wouldn 't be able to continue the war due to the lack of resources that it had.
