Answer:
Pearl Harbor question
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The naval installations at Pearl Harbor were not particularly well-defended because American military authorities did not anticipate an attack so close to home. Ford Island in the bay was surrounded by nearly the whole Pacific Fleet, and nearby airfields were crammed with a large number of aircraft.
2. Japan planned the assault as a preventative measure. Its goal was to stop the US Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military operations in Southeast Asia against the US, the UK, and the Netherlands' overseas possessions.
3. Japan believes that by attacking Pearl Harbor, it may seriously damage the American navy and buy time in the Pacific and Southeast Asia. They would thus have time to dig in defensively and solidify their gains in addition to being able to launch their offensive without hindrance from the US.
4. In 1939, President Roosevelt ordered the relocation of the US Pacific Fleet from California to Pearl Harbor. Japan's desire to grow in the Pacific was threatened by this action. Politicians and military officials believed that starting the war between the United States and Japan would be the best course of action.
5. Roosevelt delivered his famous "a date which will live in infamy" speech to the US Congress. This speech served two objectives: to persuade Congress to officially declare war on Japan (which they did a few minutes later), and to mobilise support for the war effort among the American people.
