Pearl Harbor:
attacked us on sunday because people are generally more relaxed. started planning almost a year ahead. a couple thousand people died. about 300 airplanes damaged. all ships were damaged. all aircraft carriers were undamaged because they were not docked at the time. fdr really wanted to get into the war so people thought he knew about the attack. says that we have gotten warnings that japan was going to attack us but fdr didn't do anything about it. japan had to travel over about a weeks time without being seen. had to be a complete surprise.
