The attack on Pearl Harbor was in fact a terrorist attack. The Imperial Japanese Navy against the US Naval base. This later led to the US to World War II. (Hanson, V.wnd) After 2 years of their conflict the US begins world war II. The war was belligerent. This does remind me of the attack on the World Trade Center. It's much like it because it was a surprise. No one knew it was going to happen but they. The outcome was devastating. Thousands of people died during these tragedies. (Attack on Pearl Harbor.Wikipedia) We didn't ask for any of these to happen. Al Qaeda is a terrorist group, which also known as the Taliban. They are responsible for the 9/11 attacks. However Japan was responsible for attack on Pearl Harbor. 9/11 and the attack on Pearl Harbor are similar because they were both terrorist attacks. They were both surprise attacks. Both of these attacks were unprovoked. Besides all of these similarities they also have differences. For instance the attack on Pearl Harbor as against military targets. On the other hand 9/11 was against civilian targets. (Kleinsasser, J.Wichita). 2,996 people were killed …show more content…
The war was belligerent. Demographic problems could have been happening with the terrorist. The United States once put Economic Sanctions and Trade Embargoes on Japan. Some demographic problems they had been their economic status. Saudi Arabia's income level dropped from about $23,820 in 1980, too $2,563 in 2001 (Cordsman,A.book) Also In 1932, Japan was able to finance $550,000,000. They also financed $320,000,000 in 1938. This was three years before the US came into World War II. This was their economic status 3 years before the US and Japan themselves came into World War II (Empire of Japan.Wikipedia). The United States had to create a high standard security. That was one big economic problem, that affected everyone in the US. This is caused the gas prices too go
Pearl Harbor and 9/11 The events of Pearl Harbor and 9/11 were both unexpected and deliberate, which caused America to be in a state of horror. Both events can be likened to one another, from the similarities in both president's’ speeches, the photographs taken at the scene of each attack, the newspaper headlines and the death toll rate. The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7th, 1941. The event began when unexpected Japanese forces came to attack and berade Pearl Harbor.
I think that during W.W.2, When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor that it was a terrorist attack. This event reminds me of 9/11 because It happened out of nowhere. We were also not at war at the time with Iraq. The same events that could relate to each other is They both devastated America, not only that but they both attacked us with planes.
The last time the United States was attacked as violently as 9/11 was in 1941 during the attacks on Pearl Harbor. On December 7th, 1941, Japanese fighter planes barraged the American naval base near Honolulu, Hawaii. The attacks of Pearl Harbor killed approximately 2,403 people, wounded over one thousand more people, and destroyed about twenty naval vessels. This attack caused President Roosevelt to declare war on Japan and ultimately join World War II. Both devastating attacks were regarded as embarrassing breaches of American security, which caused citizens to react vehemently towards the respective foreigners.
They are the two most known terrorist attacks in America. We know that they’re both terrorist attacks, and have some similarities, but they have many differences. One similarity between the two is they were
Pearl Harbor Versus September Eleventh On December 12th, 1941, a Japanese task force bombed Pearl Harbor, an American naval base stationed in Hawaii. On September 11th, 2001, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked by Al Qaedian suicide planes. Both attacks greatly devastated America and created prejudice attitudes and actions towards a certain race. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the American government arrested as many Japanese-Americans as it was capable of.
The attack took place on December 7, 1941, and it was one of the worst attacks ever in history and also led to the beginning of World War II. Does this remind you of any other terrorist attack? One other attack that is devastating like this one is the attack of the 9/11. The 9/11 attack took place in New York on September 11, 2001. New York was attacked by the Islamic group, Al-Qaeda.
The Attack on Pearl Harbor was a terrorist attack. Japan planned to destroy the military base in Pearl Harbor to eliminate US Pacific Fleet, and to protect Japan’s advances. This attack reminds me of the 9/11 terrorist attack in 2001. One Similarity can be that both Japan and Iraq had disagreed to the United States, like many restrictions on trade embargos. One difference is that Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan, as Iraq attacked the World Trade Center in 2001.
Date of Infamy Similarities Even though the attacks of september 11, 2001 and December 7, 1941 are different, they are also similar in many ways. They were both targeted to destroy many lives as well as property. The pearl harbor attack destroyed about 2000 lives and a large amount of military equipment and supplies such as 20 american vessels and more than 300 airplanes. The September 11 attack was meant to take big amount of innocent lives including men, women, and children, it took about 3000 lives. Also since the twin towers were financial and business buildings, they meant to destroy the economy of the country.
The country was not unfamiliar with terrorist attacks before this date though. On February 26th, 1993 Ramzi Yousef placed a moving truck with 1,500 pounds of explosives in a parking garage under the World Trade Center. (“The September 11th”). The explosion injured 1,024 civilians and was a predecessor for the attack that would come only eight years later. (“The September 11th”)
Similarly, time before 2001's event, the 19 hijacking men took a lot of preparation before the 9/11 attack such as years of training and much flight classes with no suspicion what so ever. It can also be compared that the two events both happened deliberately, intentionally for the United States- ubrupt unforeseen and unpredicted. The two separate attacks also did very much damage to the country. During that attack on Pearl Harbor it damaged 21 ships of the U.S, destroyed 188 airplanes, killed 2,403 Americans and injured 1,178. During 9/11's attack it damaged and destroyed both twin towers in the World Trade Center and the west side of the pentagon killing a total of 2,996 people and injuring over
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, “Osama bin Laden is dead, and the World Trade Center site is teeming with new life. Osama bin Laden is dead and lower Manhattan is pulsing with new activity. Osama bin Laden is dead, and New York City’s spirit has never been stronger.” Operation Neptune Spear brought America back together with Osama Bin Laden dead; the American people could feel better about bringing back some justice to the many men, women, and children that lost their lives that day at the World Trade Centers, Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. The 9/11 attacks are referred to as the Pearl Harbor of its day.
Some differences were the fact that Pearl Harbor was on December 7, 1941. 9/11, on the other hand occurred on September 11, 2001. Pearl Harbor attack was planned from the Japanese empire. Al-Qaeda were the group of terrorist who planned the 9/11 attack. During each attack, the speeches given were different presidents at the time.
September 11th, 2001 also known as 9/11 was a tragic event of history. Hijackers drove jets into both of the world trade centers and the pentagon. The results left the nation destructed, thousands died in the event of 9/11. All of the nation as a whole was left heartbroken. Everyone felt that there needed to be a response to 9/11.
Nearly the whole country watched in horror on the morning of September 11, 2001. As the planes crashed and the towers burned, many thought it simply wasn’t true. They believed that it was impossible that someone could hate America that much. It was true, and it left lasting effects on Americans everywhere. Al-Qaeda had carried out a plan so horrific that it killed nearly three thousand people.
These two attacks also compare because it was devastating news for the nation. The Pearl Harbor attack killed 2,403 people, destroyed 188 planes, and damaged/destroyed 8 battleships and on 9/11 nearly 3,000 people lost their
