Pearl Harbor

This website is good.There is so much information about this raid,about the objective or warships,but this article is too long to read it clearly.So I spent a lot of time on it.
I learned this attack was a major engagemant of WWII.It was a military strike conducted by the Japanese navy against the US naval base because the harbor was an important military harbor of the US.In addition,this attack had several major aims,not only the Pearl Harbor.

the situation of this attack in pearl harbor.

This website us easier to read ,but it also has much information.


I learned that in this attack, the attacking planes came there in two waves,and it was all over soon.Most importantly,its fuel oil storage facilities emerged unscathed, it was really important for thier reconstruction.

  1. Ok, but discuss the video as well. A lot of people had this problem, so we'll discuss it more in class. Otherwise, this is a decent post. The learning/viewing/reading the sites is the only important aspect of this homework, anyway--secondary to the computer skills.
