Basic Information
The attack of Pearl Harbor happened on December 7th, 1941 in Oahu Hawaii. Before the attack people say tensions had been building up between the two countries. The attack was designed to destroy a military force in the Pacific, or at least that's what the Japanese say. The U.S lost over 3,500 lives that day, as well as 350 fighter planes and all 8 of our battle ships. The Japanese lost 9 fighter airplanes, 20 bombers and 60 people. Osami Nagano was chief of the Japanese at the time. As he launches his attack he gets arrested for his crimes of war against America when we had been in peace. The Japanese did not want war against our two countries Osami just attacked us out of the blue.
