What was Pearl Harbor?How would you feel if someone destroyed your most important things? Angry? Sad? That is how the people of Hawaii felt the day Pearl Harbor was attacked. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a very devastating moment for the United States.
The Japanese arrived on December 7, 1941, and dropped the bomb at 7:55 a.m. The barrage took 2 hours. Japan attacked because they wanted to weaken the US. They thought that if the USA did not have any military supplies, the US would surrender. Sadly, many ships were sunk or seriously damaged. They include 10 ships, 8 battleships, and 4,600 men were killed or wounded. As you can see, the bombing of Pearl Harbor was a big deal. America will never forget Pearl Harbor. |
