  • Essay / Why the Japanese Attacked Pearl Harbor - 1412

    There is a lot of history that led to Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japan needed a reason to bomb the United States. The Japanese couldn't have bombed Pearl Harbor for fun, in fact they were angry at the United States even though they thought they were allies during WWI. Even though the attack on Pearl Harbor wasn't the reason why WWII happened. At first, this dragged the United States into the war. However, the United States and Japan ended World War II. Many people died because of the attack on Pearl Harbor, but the United States was not going to stand by, they declared war. The Japanese had a good reason to attack the United States; the tragedy occurred and killed more people, but the United States received few warnings; The United States eventually joins the war; people were also killed to end the war; and although the United States suffered from this attack, it learned some lessons. The attack on Pearl Harbor didn't just happen because the Japanese were bored and wanted to bomb someone, the Japanese actually had a reason to attack the United States in such a brutal manner. horrible way. Since the Japanese wanted to rule Asia, they first sent armies to conquer Manchuria, then eventually conquer all of China (which we knew before Pearl Harbor). The United States wanted Japan to stop attacking China and trying to conquer it, so that this would happen. If this happened, President Roosevelt decided to prevent Japan from purchasing oil, this would render the Japanese Navy and Army useless (Why did Japan attack?) The Japanese eventually moved to angry with the United States and decided to prepare an attack against the United States. The Japanese began preparing for the attack on November 26, 1941; they were preparing to take a 3,000 mile journey across the pacific... middle of paper...... the Americans were a devastating experience, we attacked their country, but we didn't kill as many of people that they did it. We killed 2,402 people, but they killed 70,000 people in Hiroshima and 70,000 in Nagasaki, that's 140,000 people. Americans have no heart; our attack was just a minor attack to protest the United States because they were stopping Japan from buying oil, they had a reason to attack, but they killed too many people. I saw when the bomb in Nagasaki was dropped, it was terrible, the bombs were huge, you could see them 10 miles away. When the bomb exploded in the air, I saw many people die instantly, I was far enough away to not be killed, but I still got infected by the radiation. I wasn't the only one who got infected, a lot of people got infected, and there are people who are still sick from that bomb, and I'm one of those people..
