• On December 7, 1941, Japanese airplanes made a surprise attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.

• More than 2,400 people were killed, and many US battleships and airplanes were destroyed.

President Roosevelt called

December 7, 1941, “a day that will live

in infamy.”

• The next day, President Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan.

• They agreed and the US officially entered WWII on December 8, 1941.

• On December 11, Germany and Italy declared war on the US.

• The US was now deeply involved in WWII on the side of the Allies.

Hitler Declares War on the US – 1941.

• In 1944, the US followed an “island-hopping” campaign in the Pacific.

• US forces attacked island after island held by the Japanese.

• This campaign brought American troops closer and closer to Japan.

• Fighting Japan was difficult because the Japanese were fierce warriors.

• The Japanese soldiers never gave up and were willing to sacrifice themselves for their country.

• Japanese kamikaze pilots crashed their planes into US ships on purpose, fully expecting to die.

• In February 1945, American forces invaded the island of Iwo Jima.

• The island was important because it was close to Japan and it was a good place for US planes to land.

• The Japanese protected the island with traps and underground tunnels.

• It was a fierce battle, but the US Marines eventually took the island.

US Marines finally reached the

highest point on the island and

raised the American flag in

victory.

• The Allies thought about invading Japan, but were worried that too many soldiers would die.

• President Harry Truman made a difficult decision to use nuclear weapons against Japan.

• He warned the Japanese government to surrender, but they refused to give up.

• On August 6, 1945, an American bomber plane dropped the first atomic bomb ever used in war on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

• A few days later, the US dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki.

• Both cities were completely devastated, and the Japanese finally agreed to surrender.

• Japan is the only country in the world that has been attacked by nuclear weapons.
