Inn Fulton Harbor
December 7, 1941. This date was permanently etched in the memory of a generation and more than 65 years later still stands as one of the dates most notorious in American history.
This was the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and a day that changed the world forever. Just before 8 am in the morning, a group of Japanese planes approached the naval base unwary. They arrived without warning and without a formal declaration of war.
As the planes easily exceeded to the U.S. base, unleashed a fury of fire that quickly sank half the warships stationed at Pearl Harbor. The assault was brief, but very effective. Zero Japanese Bomber Planes are very fast and heavily armed.
The U.S. has lost more than 2,000 people to the brutal attack. More than 1,200 were injured. The assault consisted of two separate groups of Japanese bombers which damaged or destroyed a large number of U.S. ships, aircraft and equipment.
This attack was intended to discourage the United States declared war against the Japanese Empire. It had the opposite effect. Although Pearl Harbor was a warning from the U.S. to ignore the aggressive behavior of Japan, Germany and Italy, the event brought together and motivated people throughout the country to participate.
Japan's attack weakened U.S. forces, but strengthened his resolve. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt proclaimed on 7 December would be a day that will live in infamy and Congress declared war on the Japanese empire. Our soldiers answered the call and prepared for battle.
On 11 December, Japan's allies in Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. This plunged the U.S. directly in the Second World War. In four years the war ended, with the powers Japan and other axes of surrender. America emerged victorious.
