Pearl Harbor Fact Blog
December 7th 1941 japan had bombed the US Pearl Harbor, which was stupid... the war in the Pacific Ocean was already an hour past over. Hawaii had no idea it was coming. Ehh now after reading about all this stuff it wasn’t such a stupid plan. Yet it was not a good idea to bomb the US. Because we bite right back and we make sure we get the chunk we need.
The plan of the attack was to sink as many ships as possible and to destroy as much US aircrafts as they could. The Japanese mostly wanted to destroy the battleships. The Japanese also wanted to take the ability to throw air and sea power in the Pacific Basin... For at least half a year. Also during that time Japan had planned to take care of the East Asian and West Pacific regions.
The main planners of the attack is said to be carried out by the two commanders Mitsuo Fuchida and Minoru Genda, both Commanders belonged to Japans naval aviators. These officers had to face resistance by older leaders who did not like change. Also these older leaders also the battle ships represented the pinnacle of naval power.
That is not everything, but this is all that I found that I could understand. Quite interesting…. Also at point in times US was unaware of some of the attacks. Just thought I would put that in there. J
