Pearl Harbor
"Day of infamy"
On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the Hawaiian Islands. Specifically, they attacked Pearl Harbor, a United States naval base. The attack on pearl harbor had been carried out with no warning to the United States, it had been planned as early as January of the same year. The only way the US figured out that it was a Japanese attack was from the symbols on the airplanes. The attack started in the morning on a Sunday and lasted for about two hours. At the time of the attack, seven of the eight US battleships were "lined up in Battleship Row". By the end of the attack, all eight battleships had been sunk or damaged. This horrible day eventually left the US no choice but to join WWII alongside the Allies.
Sorry for the horrible quality!
