    The Japanese Empire bombarded Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 it was a surprise attack to the United States. This event caused the loss of many innocent people as well as material destruction to the country. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the president during that time, his duty was to address both, the nation and the Congress to inform them about what had happened he did this through his speech “Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation”. The speech was extremely important, not only because of how delicate was the subject, but also because he had the challenge to inform two very different audiences about the occurred. His first audience was Congress which was important because in the end they would determine whether or not to go to war. Also the nation would listen to this speech, while Congress got to see and hear him during the speech Americans would only hear the speech through radio, which made this an even harder task to accomplish.…

    This suggests that Roosevelt had anticipated the attack but had chosen to ignore it and let it happen. This triggers conspiracy theorists’ ideas as this leads to the idea that Roosevelt intentionally allowed this attack to occur, thus showing his intention to harm an American city. The basis behind his actions was to create a legitimate justification to declare war on Japan and enter the war. There is evidence which this theory is based upon. On December 4 1941, a memo was given to Roosevelt which stated “"In anticipation of possible open conflict with this country, Japan is vigorously utilising every available agency to secure military, naval and commercial information, paying particular attention to the West Coast, the Panama Canal and the Territory of Hawaii." This shows how naval intelligence had detected Japanese intention to attack US territory, in this Hawaii was included. The memo continued saying the threat to Hawaii was of the most…

    The bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 is an event that has intrigued many historians. An aura of mystery surrounds the motivation of the Japanese and any connection between the bombing and Roosevelt. Many different historians (and revisionists) have their own take as to the events of that day. George Morgenstern, Charles A. Beard, and Charles Tansill are three of the revisionists quoted approvingly by John McKechney in his article "The Pearl Harbor Controversy: A Debate Among Historians." McKechney uses these three revisionists to try to show that the events of that day did not take Roosevelt completely by surprise. In fact, according to McKechney, the President knowingly provoked the attacks against Pearl…

    On December 7, 1941 the infamous bombing of Pearl Harbour by the Japanese took place, but who was really responsible? Many historians lay the blame with President Franklin D Roosevelt (FDR), citing his approach to the war as antagonistic and inciting a Japanese attack. This report however will highlight that the Japanese were the real antagonises, deliberately and purposely attacking the United States (US), United Kingdom and Holland, and Pearl Harbour was but a pawn in their war plan, thus alleviating FDR of the historical responsibility bequeathed to him over the last 70 years. The key elements within this review focus on Japan's Pacific War plans, FDR's approach to the threat of Japan, the events that led up to the Pearl Harbour attack, the 14 part message decoded; what did it say about an attack, the attack on Pearl harbour and other locations attacked within the same 24 hour period and finally; the reinforcement of Pearl Harbour and Hawaii and their shortcomings in preparedness.…

    The attack on Pearl Harbor is an event in United States history that had a massive effect on the American people and the actions of the country. It is referred to as the event that directly caused the U.S. to get involved in World War II, and is arguably one of the biggest events in U.S. history for this reason. The attack resulted in thousands of unsuspecting American people injured and killed. These Americans were unprepared and unable to prevent the devastating attack from happening. However, many believe that president Roosevelt, on the other hand, could very well have prevented the attack, but chose to allow it instead. It is a conspiracy that many people have believed since the attack first occurred, and since then, the amount of belief…

    Though Pearl Harbor was a surprise the United States and government officials were aware of the attacks being planned by the Japanese. Pearl Harbor had been a war in the making for a while as much as the United States was trying to avoid it. In 1973 the Japanese’s invaded China. “The United States refused to intervene when Japanese troops sacked the city of Nanjing, massacred 300,000 Chinese residents, and raped thousands of women.”2 The United States wanted to stay out and remain neutral that was until 1940 when General Hideki Tojo became the war minister of Japan. One of General Hideki Tojo’s first accomplishments as war minister was to get a treaty with Italy and Germany. After having the treaty in place he then sent to attack Indochina. The purpose of all 3 countries was to have ultimate power of 4 countries one of those being the United States of America. After the attack on Indochina the United States sent a warning in the form of restricting trades to Japan particularly scrap metal and gasoline. Japanese’s didn’t take the restrictions well and “Roosevelt then froze Japanese assets in the United States and instituted an embargo on all trade with Japan, including vital oil shipments that accounted for almost 80 percent of Japanese consumption.”22. After freezing all trade with Japan, Japan started their preparations on their attack of Pearl Harbor.…

    On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked the United States naval station and its associated air defense bases at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. This disaster could have occurred for several reasons. Japanese decoded messages made it clear that war was imminent. It was the fault of the United States government for not providing adequate information to commanders in Hawaii detailing Japan 's intentions. However, it was equally the fault of the local commanders at Pearl Harbor for not acting on whatever information they were provided. The overall cause of the attack on Pearl Harbor was a combination of mutual confusion and miscalculation between government officials in Washington and local commanders at Pearl Harbor.…

    Video Game Violence

    • 6 Pages

    “If video games do increase violent tendencies outside the laboratory, the explosion of gaming over the past decade from 3.2 billion in sales in 1995 to $7 billion in 2003, according to industry figures, would suggest a parallel trend in youth violence. Instead, youth violence has been decreasing.” (Hoerrner 49). A video game is a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a television screen or display. Violence is behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. Some video games have violent and mature content in them. People claim that the violence in video games can cause aggression in people. Others claim that the violence in video games has nothing to do with aggression in people. It is also argued that violence in video games has nothing to do with the rage already existing inside of people. Video games do not cause violence because gamers understand that video games are not real, that video games release daily frustration and are inspiring.…
