"It was a peaceful Sunday morning at Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii, but on Dec. 7, 1941, the silence was broken by the deadly attack on American soldiers."
On December 7th, 1941; it was Memorial Day of America about famous historic event “Pearl Harbor”. Because of “Pearl Harbor, it led directly to United States entry World War II in both the pacific and European theaters. This attack came as a profound shock to the American people, and it changed attitude of America people from isolationism to supporting Allies. After the day of attack on Pearl Harbor, the American president Roosevelt delivered his famous infamy speech to a joint session of congress. The congress decided to pass a declaration of war which officially brought US into World War II against Japan and Axis. Why Pearl Harbor is so impacted to Second World War? Why Japan would like to attack America which was not involved in World War II. Because it was a critical moment for Asia theaters and European theaters, both Japan and British were for lack of strategic resources on offering enough goods, foods, and materials to support war. On the other hand, Japan was trapped in export embargo of America. Japan wanted to invade those Southeast Asia Island for nature resource. For this reason, Japan tried to destroy Pearl Harbor where was a navy base in Pacific Ocean. After America joining the Allies, it brought a lot of strategic advantages for Allies. Due to industrial productivity of America, it timely provided plenty of strategic materials for British. It reversed a whole situation in European theaters.
In the end, we should remember and pass their sacrifice on to future generations. There is no right or wrong, justice or evil, and good or bad about war. The only thing we certainly sure is that war is cruel. No matter what price we would pay, the war should be hided in past forever.
