History

Pearl Harbor was the most devastating attack to the United States, especially from a country we were talking peace with. Although it was a loss for our navy, many heroes rose up, like Dorris Miller, a black cook who manned an anti-aircraft gun. 
It all began with the Japanese. They saw the U.S. as a threat, so they planned a massive aerial strike with Hideki Tojo as the mastermind. When the attack was a go, the code phrase was "登山登山" or "Climb mount Niitaka". Mitsuo Fushida even donned a red shirt to hide blood.

Sunday, December 7, 1941, was supposed to be a day of rest for the military soldiers at Hawaii’s Pearl Harbor naval base on the island of Oahu. But at 7:55 a.m., Japanese fighter planes zoomed in without warning and attacked the United States Pacific fleet, or naval vessels, moored in the harbor. Thousands of lives would be lost that day

It was, as then President Franklin Delano Roosevelt would call it, “a date which will live in infamy.”

 The sudden attack in Hawaii—at the time a territory of the United States, not a state—might have taken many by surprise, but the Japanesehad been planning the operation for months.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president of the United States at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander in chief of the Japanese naval forces and architect of the Pearl Harbor attack, didn’t want a fight with America. But much of Europe and Asia, including Japan, were involved in World War II at the time. Yamamoto wanted to take over certain countries in southeastern Asia and use their oil to help fuel Japan’s military vehicles and naval fleet.

But because the U.S. base in Hawaii was relatively close to these countries, the Japanese worried that the United States would send soldiers from Pearl Harbor to defend the nations if they were attacked. By destroying the U.S. military presence in the region, the countries Japan wanted to target would be left vulnerable. So Yamamoto decided to move forward with a surprise attack on the U.S. fleet in Hawaii.

So on November 26, 1941, 31 warships carrying fighter planes and bombers slipped from Japan into the North Pacific. They moved silently until they closed in on the Hawaiian Islands. A small Japanese plane made a loop around the target and radioed back: “Pearl Harbor sleeps.”

THE ATTACK

 At dawn on December 7, 350 planes launched in two waves from Japan’s ships. The bombers dropped bombs on American warships below, while the fighter planes targeted the U.S. aircraft on the ground so they couldn’t fight back.

Repair crews went to work on the ships. Except for the U.S.S. Arizona, Utah, and Oklahoma, every damaged ship returned to sea.

 The day after the attack, the United States declared war on Japan, officially entering World War II. In the nearly four years that followed, the U.S. Navy sank all of the Japanese aircraft carriers, battleships, and cruisers that participated in the Pearl Harbor attack.

The United States and its allies—Britain, France, and Russia, among other countries—eventually won the war, defeating Japan and its allies, Germany and Italy.

 

Today visitors can tour the Pearl Harbor National Monument, built on the water above the wreckage of the U.S.S. <span>Arizona, </span>one of the eight battleships attacked and damaged during the fight. From there you can still glimpse at the remains of the sunken ship 40 feet below the water, a memorial to the brave people who fought in this important battle.

Hey there! I’m happy to help!

Let’s see what each of these eras are.

The Old Kingdom of Egypt is basically the time period when the pyramids were built.

The Middle Kingdom is known for a lot of Egyptian art and literature being created.

The reign of Hyksos was a period after the middle period when the Hyksos had invaded Egypt where the Egyptians didn’t really do much.

The New Kingdom was basically when Egypt became super imperialistic and started taking everything over.

If you look at all of these, it makes the most sense that The Sphinx was built during the Old Kingdom because it was actually built for one of the pyramid builders!

I hope this helps!
