Pearl Harbor Research

Hey everyone! Today we talked about American neutrality before World War II and the idea of isolationism. We discussed that the United States and Germany were involved with an undeclared naval war with each other before we actually entered World War II. The ironic part is that the attack that got us involved did not come from Germany, it came from Japan.

For homework, you are to write three formal paragraphs on the attack of Pearl Harbor. This is what I want you to include for each paragraph:

I. Why did Japan bomb Pearl Harbor? Why did they feel like this was a good idea?
II. What happened at Pearl Harbor? Describe the actual attack for me.
III. What were the effects of the attack? How many people died? How many ships were destroyed? What was the outcome?

USE OTHER SOURCES OTHER THAN THE TEXTBOOK. I want you to research this.

This is going to be worth 15 points.

Have a great Spring Break!
