  9. Invasion of Nanjing First , what does the Japanese textbook source say about their invasion of China. Anything you find odd about this source? How does the Chinese Textbook present the incident differently?

  10. Invasion of Nanjing Continued… How are these next sources different from the textbook sources? Do you trust them more or less? What do these sources say that is different from the previous sources? Why is corroboration important?

  11. Re-Write the Textbook Lets read what our textbook has to say about the Incident at Nanjing 1 paragraph, what should we call the invasion of Nanjing, the invasion of Nanjing? The Rape of Nanjing? Something different? Come up with your own name and support your position with two sources. 1 paragraph, Why are sources different? Use two pieces of evidence (two quotes from two different documents) to help explain your position.

  12. WWII and the Pacific Front • United States already concerned with Japan’s expanding colonial holdings in Asia. • Japan’s holdings in China in direct conflict with United States ‘Open Door Policy’. • War unpopular so U.S. government enacted economic sanctions against Japan, and military and economic aid for China.

  13. WWII and the Pacific Front • Tripartite Pact Signed on September 27th 1940. • Germany, Italy and Japan • Japan took control of French holdings in South East Asia • U.S. increases sanctions in reaction. • Cut off Japanese Oil Resources • Attempted diplomatic solutions between Japan and United States in 1941 • Japan would have to stop invasion of China without U.S. oil imports. • Japans attacks United States on December 7th 1941. – Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

  14. The question is – How much did we know PRIOR to the attack on Pearl Harbor? How much prior knowledge did we have of the attack on Pearl Harbor? Review each source and ask yourself – Why was this source created? What is its purpose? Why might that make it more or less believable? When you’re done – final write up stating what you believe we knew prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
