Building Background Knowledge through historical perspectives What lead to the bombing of Pearl Harbor?

Major Events leading to WWII 1937-Japan invades North China from Manchuria U.S. imposes trade sanctions, followed by an embargo, aimed at curbing Japan's military aggression in Asia The Japanese signed a neutrality treaty with the Soviet Union to help prevent an attack from that direction if they were to go to war with Britain or the U.S. while taking a bigger bite out of Southeast Asia.

June 1941 through the end of July Japan occupied southern Indochina. Two days later, the U.S., Britain, and the Netherlands froze Japanese assets. This prevented Japan from buying oil, which would, in time, cripple its army and make its navy and air force completely useless.

End of 1941-Soviets seemingly on the verge of defeat by the Axis powers Japan seized the opportunity to try to take the oil resources of Southeast Asia. The U.S. wanted to stop Japanese expansion American people did not want war. Despite the U.S. demanding that Japan withdraw from China and Indochina, they refused.

Two Plans Get the oil embargo lifted on terms that would still let allow them to take the territory they wanted. Prepare for War

Secret Plans After becoming Japan's premier in mid- October, General Tojo Hideki secretly set November 29 as the last day on which Japan would accept a settlement without war.

Japanese War Plans They proposed to sweep into Burma, Malaya, the East Indies, and the Philippines, in addition to establishing a defensive perimeter in the central and southwest Pacific. They expected the U.S. to declare war but not to be willing to fight long or hard enough to win. Greatest concern was that the U.S. Pacific Fleet, based in Pearl Harbor could foil their plans.

The Attack A date that will live in infamy. Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, the first wave of Japanese airplanes left 6 aircraft carriers and struck Pearl Harbor a few minutes before 8 AM local time.

In two waves of terror lasting two long hours, they killed or wounded over 3,500 Americans and sank or badly damaged 18 ships - including all 8 battleships of the Pacific Fleet - and over 350 destroyed or damaged aircraft. At least 1,177 lives were lost when the Battleship U.S.S. Arizona exploded and subsequently sank.
