• 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.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
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.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
• 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.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
• 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.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
• 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.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
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.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
• 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.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
• The two sides signed formal surrender papers on the US battleship Missouri on September 2, 1945.
• This day is officially known as VJ Day – Victory in Japan Day.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
• After Japan’s surrender, Japan’s economy and government were devastated.
• Industries and farms were destroyed and the emperor was exposed as a mere mortal and not a god.
• The country’s infrastructure (transportation, communication, sewage, water, and electric systems) was demolished.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
• The US had a plan to occupy and rebuild Japan in a way that would guarantee the country would not pose a military threat to others in the future.
• General Douglas MacArthur was sent to oversee Japan’s restoration.
• The US occupied Japan from 1945 to 1952.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
• General MacArthur ordered Japan’s military to be disbanded and closed all weapons factories.
• He also directed that government and military leaders involved in World War II were brought to trial and punished.
• In addition, MacArthur helped Japan install a new democratic government.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
• MacArthur decided that Japan would be a constitutional monarchy in order to preserve the emperor’s role in the country’s culture.
• He wrote Japan’s constitution, still referred to as The MacArthur Constitution, and it is still considered one of the most democratic documents in the world today.
• The constitution set up a two-house parliament called a Diet.
• Japanese citizens were granted many of the same rights as American citizens.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
• Japan’s constitution also prevents the country from declaring war of fighting with other countries (unless they are attacked first).
