What things came about from/after the attack on Pearl Harbor?

Question

things such as the atomic bomb, jet aircraft, and rockets came about (i need general things like that for a research report on the effects of pearl harbor)
*your help would be GREATLY appreciated

Answer 1

You are going off on too many tangents at once. Rocket & Jet Developement was an on going process and any boost from Pearl Harbor was coincidental.

That said.

The main result of The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941 was that it goaded America into World War Two. It was a massive jolt, much like 9/11 - - - American soil had been bombed, Americans had been killed on American Soil - - - even if Hawai'i was a teritory at the time, and in fact many Americans had to search their atlases since the words Wakiki and Honolulu were much more familiar.

America had been fighting a 'Cold War' for several years with Nazi Germany - - - a majority of Americans were against getting involved in another European War. Americans had been tangling with the Japanese for a nearly a decade over the issue of Japanese aggression in China. Americans were aware they had bases in Guam and The Philipines but were largely uncertain if they should care.

The Japanese attack against Pearl Harbor was one of the stupidest blunders in history. It was a big bang with little substance. Though there were more than two thousand dead, and several ships lying at the bottom of Pearl Harbor, the actual results were neglible. Pearl Harbor gave America a valid reason to unleash her war industry against the Japanese Empire and though it was a tough fight, America had the man/womanpower & resources needed to win.
Amidst the frenzy of War, money was spent freely. When a group of scientists suggested they could develope a big powerful super weapon utilizing atomic power it wasn't hard to get the funding needed. The spigots were open, cash was flowing - - - cash & credit. Thus Pearl Harbor set up the circumstances that created the Atomic Bomb and yes two Atomic Bombs are credited for ending America's war with Japan.

Pearl Harbor was a bunder - - - one of the most spectacular explosions caught on film was an aft ammunition locker on the Destroyer Shaw exploding. The Shaw was back in the fight by late 1942. A majority of the aircraft destroyed on Ford Island and at Schoefield were obsolete.

If Japan had stayed with their original plan, attacking only The Philipines along with British & French 'territory' in the Far East, it is problematical as to how Americans would have reacted. As for Germany (where rocket & jet development was in high gear), the Germans blundered further, Declaring War against America in responce to Pearl Harbor. Another bonehead move - - - a lot of Americans would have supported a 'Japan First or Only' strategy.


Enough - -------------- Peace....

Answer 2

Pearl Harbor had absolutely nothing to do with jet aircraft or rocket research which started in the mid-to-late 30's with Whitley in Britain and the Heinkle company in Germany as well as Werner Von Braun (with rockets) who later came to the US and helped design the hardware that got us to the moon, though it did accelerate all fields of weapon research.. The atomic bomb was another issue and the only bearing that had on the case was the fact that once Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, the US was drawn into the war because Japan was an ally of Germany. Our concern at the time was not about Japan as much as Germany. Einstein warned President Roosevelt that Germany was working on an atom bomb and now that we were at war with Germany, we should do the same. Ironically, most of our resources at the time were devoted to defeating the Germans and not the Japanese. The philosophy was to win the European war first and win the Pacific war second. Again, the irony. The war in Europe was won before we even tested our first nuke but the war in the Pacific was still going on so the decision was made to use the bomb against Japan who brought us into the war in the first place because they bombed Pearl Harbor. Historians still debate whether the two bombs dropped on Japan actually "ended the war" because our conventional raids in the preceeding weeks killed far more Japanese and did much more damage to the country, especially Tokyo, than the two nukes did.

attacked, my great-grandfather desperate to connect the army. He at as quickly as married his lady pal, between the sweetest and maximum loving human beings God ever made, so as that she would not harm out jointly as he became into on the different component of the international. that they had my grandfather. jointly as in the Pacific, my great-grandfather deliver, the united statesUnderhill became into sunk via a Kamikaze sub, yet he became into between the survivors. He got here domicile, raised my grandfather, and wrote the story of our kinfolk. issues ought to never have been the comparable if no longer for the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Answer 4

The USA turned from the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire and kicked ***. But somehow democracy survived and even flourished anyway. Now today we need daggers in the Senate, but the question is, who has been Caesar these 66 years? Not the public, which wants only bread and circuses, not the presidents, who come and go with clock-like regularity from one party then the other (Hilary and Obama in 2008, but who's to be on top? Her, I bet.) not the politicians or the rich, then who's in charge? What's been driving the show?

Answer 5

US entry into World War II

atomic bomb
American influence in the Pacific
American base at Okinowa
Philippine independence
