Pearl Harbor sparked United States desire at WWII

Yes, America's military received a lot of credit after finally beating Japanese, and Germans at the same time, back in 1941-45 and winning the two large wars. However, many facts on this dominate, leaving out proper history.

In the day of Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese air force crushed the United States navy. Strange was the whole situation was that U.S. militaries were "surprised" with all this when America at that time was deciding against Japan on quiet moves. For example, U.S. made it blocked for Japan to acquire steel, making it difficult for Japanese navy and air force completely built.

The United States appeared to know about China, and years the Japanese battled several key provinces of China. Looking at part of history, Japanese governments were afraid of getting more attacks from China.

Remember, that Japan was fighting for years, long before the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. I actually remember visiting Japan in 1962, as a child with only just passed to 8 years old, only about 17 years after the war. All over the homes off base at Yokota Air Force base set up by the U.S. As we played in fields, I saw old large holes bombed during the war, and occasionally, old fragments of bullets, part of helmet and actually rusted guns.

Amazing, Japanese people did not talk to Americans very much, and it was not that easy to be an American kid and playing with Japanese kids. But, on some days, there was trouble. The home, where homes were located off Yokota, lines of Japanese workers will hold up red flags, and shout against Americans. Clearly, Japanese did not wan Americans based at Japan.

There was quite a lot of trouble at Japan. In 1963, President Kennedy was shot in November in Dallas, and everybody was scared. Getting back to the U.S. was vanished about Kennedy's shot, as fear was everywhere.

More about such a trip to different country has a lot more information for reports later. Note that history, like of this 1962-65. My teachers were African-American females, twice, early in the 1960s. Kids were treated hugely different, looked at that potential adversaries. For example, the Tachi-players baseball team beat my own Johnson Air Force, with all tine Japanese teams against us.

Anyway, Japan is a lot different in taking care of many things. The nation faces quakes and typhoons. Note the earlier 2011 quake has destroyed nuclear reactors, and the country remains brutal about all this.

Hopefully, answers will keep Japan history. Right now, this report, Gerald Carroll News Report, needs to get $5 million signed, and a future of excellence will continue!

  1. Difference history on a kid that went to Japan soon after World War II, and lived there in November 1963 when President Kennedty was shot. In addition to Japan, I lived in Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida again, Kentucky, California, then to Kentucky again, Illinois, Iowa, and Califrnia once again. All stories about this type of lifting will be part of Gerald Carroll News Report. More could appen, includice when happened Huffington Post!
