Answer 1

Pearl Harbor was the location of the Pacific Fleet. the thought was to knock out the aircraft carriers and cripple the fleet. The aircraft carriers were out of harbor.

Also they failed to destroy the fuel reserves on the island, which would have done greater damage that the ships.

About 3000 people died in the attack, mostly on the Arizona

Answer 2

U.S. losses were comparatively light: 2403 dead and 1178 wounded, 5 obsolete battleships, 3 destroyers, 3 cruisers, and 188 (mostly obsolescent or obsolete) planes. By contrast, Japan lost 64 dead, 1 captured, 29 planes and 4 submarines.

Some Japanese strategists may have been influenced by U.S. Admiral Harry Yarnell's approach in the 1932 joint Army-Navy exercises, which assumed an invasion of Hawaiʻi. Yarnell, as commander of the attacking force, placed his carriers northwest of Oʻahu in rough weather and launched "attack" planes on the morning of Sunday, February 7, 1932. The exercise's umpires noted that Yarnell's aircraft were able to inflict serious "damage" on the defenders, who for 24 hours after the attack were unable to locate his fleet. Yarnell's tactic was dismissed as impractical, since ISN doctrine (like that of other navies) held that any attacking force would be destroyed by the battleship force (the "battle line").

But primarily, Isoroku Yamamoto’s idea for a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was inspired by his hero, Fleet Admiral Marquis Tōgō Heihachirō, who in 1904 had, with no declaration of war, attacked the Second Russian Pacific Squadron at the Battle of Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese War. The Russians lost two battleships and several cruisers, and never fully recovered. A year later, a young Ensign Yamamoto was injured in the Battle of Tsushima, where the Japanese destroyed almost the entire Russian fleet.

Answer 4

2403 US military personnel died

68 civilians died

i dont know how many japanese died.

pearl harbor was picked because it was a large US miltary base. much damage could be done to the US Navy pacific fleet. if many of US ships were destroyed, they could not quickly or easily challenge the japanese navy in the pacific. pearl harbor was targeted also, because of its isolation. it was possible to get a large attack force near it undetected.

Answer 5

ending WWI effectively. There was a chain on NPR very final twelve months approximately how wars end. For the main area, wars end badly and set up the subsequent conflict. a pair of exceptions replaced into as quickly as the yank civil conflict. After Lincoln replaced into as quickly as assassinated, many Southerners had to renew the suffering with, yet Lee discouraged them. He replaced into so respected that the Southerners determined in the direction of it. If now no longer for Lee, the South could have waged guerilla conflict for generations. unfortunately, WWI had an fairly unfair end to Germany so here conflict replaced into as quickly as in simple terms a remember of time.

Answer 6

Because the Navy thought they could better protect the ships if they were all in one place, so multiple ships were crammed into Pearl Harbor...or that's what I heard..
