Pearl Harbor and the Home Front War Effort The U.S. Enters the War Pearl Harbor and the Home Front War Effort

Competing Interests in the Pacific Prior to U.S. entry - Germany seen as main threat Policy was to deter Japan while building 2-ocean navy Neither U.S. nor Japan wanted war but neither willing to compromise Japan wanted Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere U.S. wanted Open Door & status quo

Heading For A Fight “Yellow Peril” propaganda & Japanese aggression in Asia hardened U.S. attitude Less isolationist opposition to clash with Japan 1939 - U.S. banned sale of aviation fuel and scrap metal to Japan Additional items banned after signing of Tripartite Pact (9/40) & more aggression

Communication Breakdown 7/41 - Japanese assets in U.S. frozen Total embargo on trade Followed takeover of Indochina New Japanese war minister Hideki Tojo Opposed compromise w/ U.S. Needed supplies for war machine By Nov. 41 - U.S. intelligence knew war was imminent All U.S. commands on alert

“A Date Which Will Live In Infamy” 12/7/41 surprise strike at Pearl Harbor Bold Japanese gamble paid off Preemptive strike at U.S. Navy 188 aircraft destroyed, 8 Battleships + other ships sunk or crippled, 2400 dead Many vital U.S. ships out to sea 29 of 353 Japanese planes shot down Enables Japanese to expand unhindered

The Response War declared on 12/8 Germany & Italy declare war on U.S. on 12/11 German U-Boats began attacking U.S. shipping immediately within sight of our shores

U-Boats of the German Kriegsmarine stalked U. S U-Boats of the German Kriegsmarine stalked U.S. ships along our Atlantic coastline. As many as 5 ships per day were lost in the early months of the war - nearly negating production of new ships.

“It is all bad.” Nazis rolling across Europe, N. Africa Japanese capturing the Pacific islands and vast sections of continental Asia U.S. forces vanquished in Philippines MacArthur - “I shall return!” 11K U.S. prisoners of war Bataan Death March Japan at peak of its territorial control

Mobilizing the War Effort War Powers Act 1941 gives FDR greater authority to direct war effort Draft & enlistment raise millions of troops - 15 million men by end of war 350K women (WACs & WAVES) Joint Chiefs of Staff formed also Office of Strategic Services Pentagon opens 1942 world’s largest building

War Powers Acts 1941 - emergency authority to FDR Control of trade, defense contracts, censorship 1942 - additional powers Requisition property, rationing, regulation of transportation

Economy & Production Office of Price Administration 1942 price ceilings, rent control War Production Board 1942 Control raw mats., regulate production, cut non-essential civilian production National War Labor Board 1942 mediate labor disputes War Manpower Commission 1942 ensure adequate labor supply

Propaganda Office of War Information controlled info of war used press, movies, radio to build public morale
