Why the Japanese Attacked Pearl Habor

There is a lot of history that led up to Japan bombing Pearl Harbor, Japan needed a reason to bomb the United States. The Japanese couldn’t have just bombed Pearl Harbor for fun, in fact, the Japanese were mad at the United States even thought they were allies during World War I. Even though the Pearl Harbor attack wasn’t the reason for World War II to start, it brought the United States into war. Yet, the United States and Japan did bring World War II to an end. Many people died due to the Pearl Harbor attack, but the United States wasn’t going to just stand there, they declared war. The Japanese had a definite reason to attack the United States; the tragedy happened and killed others, yet the U.S. did get some warning sings; The United States eventually joins the war; people were also killed to end the war; and even though the United States suffered from that attack, they learned some lessons.
The Pearl Harbor attack didn’t just occurred because the Japanese were bored and wanted to Bomb someone, the Japanese actually had a reason to attack the United States in such a horrendous way. Since the Japanese wanted to rule Asia, the Japanese first sent armies to conquer Manchuria, and then eventually conquering all of China (What We Knew Before Pearl Harbor) The U.S. wanted Japan to stop attacking China and trying to conquer it, in order for that to happen, President Roosevelt decided to prevent Japan from buying oil, this would make the Japanese Navy and Army useless (Why Did Japan Attack?) The Japanese eventually got mad at the United States and decided to prepare an attack on the U.S. The Japanese started to prepare for the attack on November 26, 1941; they got ready to go make a 3,000-mile journey across the Pacific...

...ricans was devastating experience, we did attack their country, but we didn’t kill as many people as they did. We killed 2,402 of their people, but they killed 70,000 people in Hiroshima, and 70,000 in Nagasaki, that’s 140,000 people. The Americans have no heart; our attack was just a mild attack to protest against the United States because they prevented Japan from buying oil, they did have a reason to attack, but they killed too many people.
I saw when the bomb in Nagasaki was being dropped, it was terrible, the bombs was huge you could see it from 10 miles. When the bomb exploded in the air, I saw a lot of people die instantly, I was far enough to not be killed, but I still got infected by the radiation. I wasn’t the only one that was infected, a lot of people were infected, and there are people who are still sick from that bomb, and I am one of those people.
