This documentary takes you inside the Attack on Pearl Harbor, exploring the unprovoked Japanese assault on December 7th, 1941. Discover the key decisions, personal accounts, and military blunders that led to this historic day. We then follow the full story of the Pacific War, from the island-hopping campaigns of Iwo Jima and Okinawa to the devastating atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which finally forced Japan's surrender and ended World War II.

Absent a few coincidences, and "fortunate blunders" on December 5,
1941 the history of December 7th could have different.

The septics were lucky that their aircraft carriers were out at sea on 12/7/41.

And they were all separated by 100s of miles so
if one of them did encounter the 6 Jap carriers
the Yank carrier would have been destroyed.

Stop frightening us Marla,

we have greedy Chinese eyes looking at us
while they sail in the largest navy in the world.

Chinese memory is about being humiliated.
'The 1842 Treaty of Nanking ended the First Opium War, forcing China to open five "treaty ports"—Canton (Guangzhou), Amoy (Xiamen), Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai—to British trade, ceding Hong Kong, and granting significant economic and legal privileges, establishing the unequal treaty system that defined China's foreign relations for a century.'

A war for opium, good grief!

'The Chinese flag features a large yellow star and four smaller yellow stars on a red background, symbolizing the unity of the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party (big star) and the four social classes (workers, peasants, petty bourgeoisie, patriotic capitalists) that support it'.

Capitalists made money at their peril, you see. The peasants smashed them in 1949. Xi is a capitalist. A communist. A peasant who is rich. A star. Yellow.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Imperial Navy bombed the US Naval base at Pearl Harbor.
The surprise attack shocked the nation and brought it into a world war.
To this day, it remains seared in America’s historical memory.
Renowned historian Victor Davis Hanson explains why.

Japan was outrageous to attack Uncle Sam and his boats.
'From 1939, the US became the "arsenal of democracy" and the Lend-Lease Act (1941) provided vast supplies and even traded old destroyers for UK bases.'

On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the US at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
The attack claimed more than 2,400 American lives and sank multiple navy ships.
Firsthand accounts of the Pearl Harbor attack captured the devastation and trauma of the event.
But what happened immediately afterward?

China has the largest navy in the world.
They build new ships 10 or 20 times faster than the Yanks.

I thought your line was that there are NO races, cockwomble. No DNA, no races.
But here you are, banging on about races.
