World War Two - Pearl Harbor


The United States stayed out of World War II until 1941. Early in the morning, on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor. The attack was a complete surprise. Japanese planes torpedoed and bombed United States ships and military stations. By late morning the attack was over. Japan’s planes left 2,403 Americans dead (including 68 civilians) and 1,178 military members and civilians wounded. There were 188 planes destroyed, 159 aircraft damaged, and 21 damaged or destroyed ships*.


When President Roosevelt found out about the attack, he asked Congress to declare war. The United States was behind him. Before the attack, the people of the U.S. had been divided over whether to help France and Great Britain fight Germany. Many people wanted to stay out of the war. People did not yet know about the horrors of Nazi concentration camps. But Japan’s act of war changed the course of history. As a Japanese official said, “I am afraid that we have awakened a sleeping giant.” Once moved to act, the U.S. was a giant. The U.S. came to Britain’s aid and changed the outcome of the war.


President Roosevelt called the day of the attack “a day that will live in infamy.” Below is the S.O.S. dispatch sent by the Commander in Chief of the Pacific Army, who was stationed at Pearl Harbor. He sent only:


“AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR X THIS IS NOT A DRILL.”
