America's Anti-Japanese Propaganda In World War II

World War II Anti-Japanese Propaganda "The United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." (Declaration of
War Against Japan) These words were said by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt in his declaration of war on Japan on December 8, 1941. The attack on Pearl Harbor marked the official entry of the United States involvement in World War II and sparked a barrage of anti-Japanese propaganda. From posters to leaflets, radio messages to the attack on Pearl
Harbor, the public of the United States was constantly the center of attention for psychological warfare. Propaganda of the World War II period reflected the American people's anti-Japanese sentiment. Twenty years after
The Axis was the name given to the German, Japanese and Italian alliance. The Allied powers were the United States, Great Britain, France, and later, Russia. The
Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis, as it is called, formed in 1936-1937, and the Allied countries came together shortly after.

Since the deadline was kept secret, it meant war was almost certain. The Japanese felt very

Harbor and to strengthen their defenses. Roosevelt did nothing. Another reports, that was ignored was a Navy report that predicted that if Japan made war on the US, they would strike Pearl Harbor without warning at dawn with aircraft from a minimum of 6 carriers (www.rense.com). Also,
