Pearl_Harbor

Pearl Harbor Pearl Harbor It was quiet at the Pearl Harbor docks, where the United States Pacific Fleet was resting, on December 7, 1941, early Sunday morning. Soldiers were asleep, ammunition locked up, no man with a gun. What the people in Pearl Harbor did not know was that they were about to get attacked by the Japanese. The plan to attack Pearl Harbor was led by Admiral Isoroko Yamamoto. The tragic attack on Pearl Harbor can be traced from late warning signs, the unpreparedness of the United States, and to the resulting bombing. The president at the time was Franklin Roosevelt. He was a very strong leader, but had a little bit of work he needed done, but that is only an opinion. In Washington D.C., Franklin Roosevelt made a final appeal to the Emperor of Japan for peace, but there wasn’t a reply. Later on that day, the United States code breakers service begins intercepting a 14-part Japanese message and broke the first 13-parts, passing them on to the President and the Secretary of State. The Americans believed that the Japanese were going to attack Southeast Asia.
