Road to Pearl Harbor

The situation in mid-1941…

The Road to war… Sept – After Japan’s invasion of Indochina, the U.S. placed an embargo on Japan. – Prohibited steel, scrap iron, and aviation fuel April Japan signed a neutrality treaty with the Soviet Union. – Prevent an attack from the USSR if they were to go to war with Britain or the U.S. June/July U.S., Britain, and the Netherlands froze Japanese assets. – Prevents Japan from buying oil. End of Japan tries to take the oil resources of Southeast Asia. –U.S. demanded that Japan withdraw from China and Indochina People were not willing to go to war to stop them. December Japan pursued two simultaneous courses: –Try to get the oil embargo lifted on terms that would still let them take the territory they wanted. –Prepare for war. Proposed to sweep into Burma, Malaya, the East Indies, and the Philippines Expected the U.S. to declare war but not to be willing to fight long or hard enough to win.

The Attack! Greatest concern for the Japanese was that the U.S. Pacific Fleet, based in Pearl Harbor could foil their plans. –As insurance, the Japanese navy undertook a plan to cripple the Pacific Fleet by a surprise air attack. The Warnings –The U.S. had broken the Japanese diplomatic code and knew an attack was imminent. A warning had been sent from Washington, but it arrived too late. –Early warning radar was new technology. Japanese planes were spotted by radar before the attack, but they were assumed to be a flight of American B- 17s due in from the West Coast. The Attack – On December 7th 1941, on an otherwise peaceful Sunday morning, the first wave of Japanese airplanes struck Pearl Harbor a few minutes before 8 AM local time. 21 ships sunk – But not the aircraft carriers! – All but three were eventually repaired! 188 aircraft destroyed 159 aircraft damaged 2,471 dead 1,178 wounded
