Why did the Japanese bomb pearl harbor and not another u.S. location?
Three websites I used:
1. The History Place www.thehistoryplace.com/worldwar2/timeline/pearl.html This is a credible website because it follows the timeline of World War 2 and goes deeper into each of those events. It has hyperlinks that work and it has been active since 1997. 2. How Roosevelt Attacked Japan at Pearl Harbor http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/1996/fall/butow.htlm This is a credible website because it has an author. It has a date when the article was written. It sites its resources and the hyperlinks work. 3. Pearl Harbor Hype http://www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/89 This is a credible website because it is a ".org", it has an author, and uses the history channel. The first website had explained that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor for three reasons; one Hawaii is very important and strategic, it controls the Pacific Ocean, two the Japanese could take out the US naval fleet and three it would be easy to get oil from the Indi's. The second website explained the events of Pearl Harbor. The third website explained how the President had expected to get hit but not hurt. It went on to explain the events after Pearl Harbor and how FDR wish he had known that the navy was not prepared for the attack like he originally thought. |
