Dedicated to the memory of Pearl Harbor and to the Americans who gave their lives for their country on December 7, 1941.

President Roosevelt had banned all exports to Japan. The US didn’t want Japan to expand. Pearl Harbor was the home of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

Japan did not want the U.S. in the war because the U.S at this time had the greatest Naval force.

After the last bomb was dropped Americans were still filled with so much fear. The fear shortly filled with rage when people realized what had actually happened, and how many died.
