Little Positivity In Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor dignified a day where hope was not lost. Some positivity came out after the incident in Pearl Harbor. Americans gave their blood, sweat, and tears to help out the cause. People volunteered to fight in the war. It gave society motivation and pride for their country. Most of them were white males that left the country, leaving the women and minorities in charge. Some say that by taking over the jobs that were deeply scarce, it sparked a Civil Rights Movement. Little positivity came out after this historic tragedy.
In retaliation with the unethical events occurring in Pearl Harbor, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945. They felt that dropping these bombs would prevent more casualties

from happening against Americans.
Today, we honor those who have fallen during these attacks. Countless ceremonies were made to remember these soldiers that were directly involved with these attacks. These bombings molded America into a strong country willing to take action when necessary. Each had a motivation to rival with one another. The U.S. government did not want to be involved in the war, but they were pushed to the point where they were forced to take action. They had to avenge the fallen and fight a long front in the Pacific to prevent expansion. U.S. wanted to prevent Japan into expanded into the Pacific. Japan’s wanted to preemptively strike the naval base to cripple American troops so they cannot rival their conquest. America’s motive was justified because “There can be no appeasement with ruthlessness. There can be no reasoning with an incendiary bomb.” (Roosevelt)
