Japanese Attack in Honolulu, Hawaii
Approximately 5 of 8 battleships
had sunk. 3 cruisers, 3 destroyers, and a
seaplane tender were seriously damaged. 96
army aircrafts and 92 navy aircrafts were
destroyed and about 159 more aircrafts were
destroyed. This caused the outbreak of World
War II. The United States doesn’t want to be
involved in WW2, but after this horrible tragedy,
this urged them to enter World War II.
The U.S. was courageous enough
to fight the Japanese, but unfortunately, the
U.S. was unprepared to fight back, and they
were doomed. Before World War II happened,
the United States was so weak that they were
losing their fellow soldiers. Over 1,000 people
had lost their lives, and over 1,000 people were
left injured. The damage to their naval base cost
millions of dollars. The total death of people who
lost their lives in the attack was 2,403.
Yesterday,
December
7,
1941, at 7:55 AM, the Japanese planes were
soaring in the sky, flying toward Honolulu,
Hawaii. The planes were called kamikazes.
They were heading toward the United States
naval base, Pearl Harbor. The Japanese was
up to something no good. Why were the
Japanese heading toward Pearl Harbor? It
turned out that the Japanese were planning
to destroy the naval base. Why were they
angry? Would the U.S. enter WW2 even
though they don’t want to be involved?
Well, the United States had
no idea what was happening. There were so
many Japanese planes, that the significant
amount of damage was done before the
United States could fight back. The Japanese
launched torpedoes under the ocean and
dropping bombs. As a result, many ships
were destroyed.
This caused major chaos to the
United States. Did the United States try so hard
to fight back? The United States’ battleships
were destroyed, ships had sunk, 188 planes
were destroyed, and many ships were seriously
damaged. It turned out that the U.S. was not
strong enough to fight the Japanese. This made
the United States angry and frustrated. Their
final decision was to enter World War II. The
United States would not live like this and will be
forced to retaliate to such an act of war.
The United States doesn’t want to
interfere in the war. However, after the
Japanese destroyed Pearl Harbor, the United
States had no choice but to enter World War II.
President Franklin Roosevelt stood up before
Congress delivered a message about the attack
on Pearl Harbor. This time, Congress passed a
declaration of war that pushed the United States
to enter World War II. After so many people had
lost their lives and left seriously injured,
December 7, 1941 had became “a date which
will live in infamy.” This date stated that the
people who lost their lives will never be
forgotten. The U.S. and Japan declared war and
WWII started.
First Atomic Bomb Developed by U.S. Japan
Surrenders After Explosion
Yesterday, August 6, 1945, at 8:15 AM,
the United States dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan.
The atomic bomb was the strongest weapon ever made.
President Harry Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb
in order to end World War II. The bomb was dropped in
the Japanese city of Hiroshima. No one truly knows the
damage that has been done to Hiroshima yet. Estimates
show that the explosion had killed over 80,000 Japanese
citizens.
Why did the United States drop the first
atomic bomb? The United States want to end World War II
quickly as they went on. They don’t want any conflicts with
the Japanese. Even though they destroyed Pearl Harbor,
Japan was the country responsible for urging the United
States to enter World War II. The United States had no
choice but to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.
As of now, there are no details about the
bombing in Japan. However, it can be inferred that
Hiroshima was severely damaged by the atomic bomb. The
United States wanted to end the conflict with the Japanese.
America has spent $2,000,000, 000 creating the atomic
bomb. The atomic bomb was nicknamed, “Little Boy.” The
United States want the Japanese to surrender. However,
after the first bomb was dropped, the Japanese still refused
to surrender, so Truman considered this a necessary means
to end the war with fewer American casualties.
The damage of the atomic bomb was
very devastating. Thousands of people lost their lives
and many lost their homes. Many were left injured and
left homeless. People who survived in the explosion
suffered from radiation poisoning. Radiation poisoning
caused people to get cancer and leukemia. Not only had
they lost the war, but almost the entire city was wiped
out. It would take fifteen years for the Japanese to
rebuild
their
country.
Three days later after the explosion,
on August 9, 1945, The United States dropped another
atomic bomb on Nagasaki in order to force the Japanese
to surrender. Over 80,000 people were killed and many
had suffered from radiation poisoning. The effects of the
atomic bomb were devastating. President Truman
claimed that the atomic bomb was the only way in order
for the Japanese to surrender, ending World War II.
After 2 bombs were dropped, World
War II was over. The United States had claimed their
victory at Times Square, NYC. World War II ended on
September 2, 1945. On August 14th, 1945, at Times
Square, over 750,000 people celebrated the surrender of
Japan and the end of World War II. People had never
forgotten the remembrance of the end of World War II
and the people at NYC were proud of themselves and
they considered themselves as victorious. Victory was
within themselves and within the whole world.
Adolf Hitler: Hitler’s Past Life
Adolf Hitler was most commonly known as
the dictator of Germany. He is the ruler of the Nazis, a
military general, and a nationalist. Hitler had become very
popular across Europe and is feared by many. However, many
people do not know how Hitler has truly impacted Germany
and the surrounding countries of Europe. Why was Hitler so
powerful throughout history? Why did he become an evil
dictator?
Before Hitler became a dictator, he was
interested in becoming an artist. However, this dream
drastically changed. You would think Hitler was born in
Germany, right? Hitler was actually born on April 20, 1889 in
Braunau, Austria. His father was an official with the Austrian
Customs Service and he provided his family with a very
comfortable life. In Hitler’s past life, he was mostly bored at
school. By the time of his father’s death, he dropped out of
school at the age of 16. After Hitler dropped out of high
school, he attended the Academy of Fine Arts. He did not have
enough artistic talent to succeed. As a result, he ended up
homeless and selling postcards he painted to earn money.
Hitler then developed an obsession with Germany.
Hitler moved to Germany in 1913.
After moving to Germany, he was called back to be
in his home country, Austria, to serve in the army.
However, he was declared “medically unfit.” He
decided to join the Germany army and served four
years in World War 1. There, he earned the
Distinguished Iron Cross for bravery. However, he
said that serving as a soldier in war was “the
greatest and most unforgettable time” in his whole
life. Later, Hitler’s life had became an absolute
terror.
In the year of 1913, he moved to
Munich, Germany. Before he moved to Munich,
Germany, he made a belief that Germany’s threat
was the Jewish people as the ones responsible for
the cause of World War II. This led to the beginning
of the Holocaust. Hitler had become dictator
because he wants to serve the Nazis. The Jews
were in terrible danger due to Hitler’s rise to power.
As Hitler’s power increases, Germany became
stronger than the rest of the countries of Europe.
However, Hitler made a belief that the Jews had
become a menace and blamed them for the cause
of World War II. Hitler and the Nazis had now
seized power. As a result, Hitler wanted people to
fear him so he himself would have more power in
order to take over Europe.
Hitler’s rise of power had
increased throughout Europe. He despised the Jews
so bad that the Nazis had created concentration
camps to punish their enemies. Hitler’s plan to make
people fear him worked. This gave the Nazis what
they wanted. They wanted “legal powers” that could
authorize them to invade the country. Before the
beginning of World War II, Hitler began to duplicate
an empire in year of 1938 so he could take over the
country. He wanted to take control of Austria and
Czechoslovakia. Hitler’s plan was to destroy his
enemies who he blamed for causing World War II.
The Holocaust was a time period where many Jews
were slaughtered by the evil hands of the Nazis.
However, Hitler’s dream had began to fade away
and some of his military leaders were out to kill
Hitler. Unfortunately, the plan backfired. In 1945,
Hitler had committed suicide and his wife Eva Braun
drank poison. Both of their bodies were cremated at
an outside garden.
Mount Rushmore: An Enormous Sculpture
Mount Rushmore
In South Dakota
Fourteen
years
later,
Mount
Rushmore has finally been completed. The project
began in 1927 in South Dakota. However, the
project faced many obstacles which caused it to take
longer than expected to complete. Why is Mount
Rushmore such an incredible sight? Mount
Rushmore is yet an enormous sight for people to
explore.
Mount Rushmore is the world’s
largest sculpture and mountain carving. It portrays
the faces of the four famous presidents, George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln,
and Theodore Roosevelt. This sculpture is made out
of a granite cliff. It is still approximately at the
height of 5,725 ft.
Historian Doane Robinson created a
memorial of heroes and explorers from the old west
in Black Hills, South Dakota. He then decided he
wanted to create another monument as a tourist
attraction. In order to get the project started, he
asked sculptor Gutzon Borglum to create the
memorial. Borglum was known for his Confederate
memorial at Stone Mountain in Georgia. Later, he
traveled to South Dakota in 1924. When he arrived
at South Dakota. He decided to portray the faces of
the four presidents.
In the year of 1925, he decided to
name the sculpture “Mount Rushmore and started to
carve it in the year of 1927 and was finally completed
in October 1941. However, there were many
problems after the completion of Mount Rushmore.
There was lack of money for the project which
caused to close down operations for the entire season
at a time. Approximately $1 million was the total cost
of carving the mountain. Mount Rushmore shows the
faces of the four presidents because they were really
successful in history and many people began
exploring the sculpture. However, Mount Rushmore is
an incredible sight in South Dakota.
Today, Mount Rushmore is still an
enormous sculpture throughout American history.
People had visited and explored South Dakota to see
what’s so important about it.
Frozen Dinners: Outstanding Meals
Many people and companies had played
an essential role of the development of a meal that
needed to be reheated before they eat. During the
1940’s, an outstanding meal was created which led to .
It was “Frozen Dinners.” The Frozen Dinners had many
varieties of foods. Foods like steak turkey ,peas, corn,
and pizza, many people loved the frozen dinners.
However, the foods contained a separate parts of meat,
vegetables, and potatoes. However, after the founder
passed away, people were having financial problems.
Due to these situations, the meals were never sent to
the
. retail market. In year of 1949, Albert and Meyer
Bernstein had set up the Frozen Dinners. The company
packaged frozen dinners ion aluminum trays that had 3
sections.
They sold the dinners with the OneEyed Eskimo label, and they were only sold at markets
which were located in Pittsburgh area. In the year of
1950, the company made a huge increase of frozen
dinners. Approximately over 400,000 frozen dinners
were produced! By this accomplishment, the Bernstein
Brothers created a company named the Quaker State
Food Corporation in 1952. Due to this company, in the
year of 1954, the company had produced approximately
the maximum of 2,500,000 frozen dinners. Many people
started to buy Swanson's meals and later, it became
popular. A few later, the first company who was able to
use the name and to market the T.V. Dinner was
Swanson’s. Frozen dinners made the company create a
huge increase.
