  1. The Pearl Harbor Attack By: Jiyah Worley 8B

  2. The Event • Japan was currently already participating in World War II and has defeated many civilizations such as China, Korea, and Philippians • USA wasn’t really involved in the World War II until after The Pearl Harbor bombing

  3. Background • The bombing of the Pearl Harbor by Japan • Sunday, December 7th 1941 in Hawaii • Around 2,403 people were killed • During World War II • President at the time was Franklin Delano Roosevelt

  4. Options • Do nothing and wait it out See what Japan will do next if they will attack or not • Declare war on Japan Take the attack as a threat and start a war • Peace Negotiation Have both sides sign a peace treaty

  5. FDR’s Decision • Three days after the Pearl Harbor bombing President Franklin Roosevelt made the decision & signed the document to declare war on Japan • Their motivation was “ Remember Pearl Harbor”

  6. Results • The affection of Pearl Harbor for the USA was that it weaken the army because many of the ships and soldiers where killed • The outcome of FDR’s decision is that the bloody four year war between Japan and USA was ended in 1945 when Japan finally surrendered

  7. Hindsight My Opinion What happened • I believe that FDR made the right decision of going to war with Japan, because they were going to attack the USA anyway • Declaring war on Japan and finally coming fully into World War II • After the war Japan and the USA were not the closest of alliances until 1952 after the San Francisco Peace Treaty. • Today in present time we have a much closer and stronger bond with Japan
