Looks great. Can anyone tell me why Japan attacked Pearl Harbor?
I think we had maps of the world back then, and anyone could see that we are a LOT BIGGER than Japan. So any attack, would piss us off where we would then come over from California and squash them. I would think!
So we most have done something to piss off Japan first.
And, after the planned two attacks, what was Japan going to do next? Sail away? Set up Japan as the new government in Hawaii?
Or what?
Personally it would be like Bahamas attacking Florida. The first day we are caught off guard (back then, no radar, etc.), but the second day we would be getting everyone together to go over, as soon as we could, and clobber them a lot worse! That attack by Japan just did not make any sense to me. They clobber ONE naval base, we clobbered ALL OVER their country.

ok this is what happoned japan join the axis, then we shut of there oil supply japan gets pissed and decides war is the only option so they decided to attack pearl where ALL of the navy ships where there main target where the carriers but the carriers werent there on the day of the attack but they continued with the attack now if the carriers had been there we couldnt do a thing about it even with long range bombers we would not be able to reach them. and if the carriers where sunk then the doolittle raid wouldnt have happoned wich was an importent bombing run. now japan did make a mistake with the attack they had a 3rd wave of bombers ready but they decided not to lauch it if they had we most likely would have lost the war at least in the pacific.

hope this cleared things up
