The attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 was the determining factor that got the U.S. into WWII.

It was surprise attack by the Japanese on the major U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor. They attacked started at 7:48am, and continued for for two hours, until around 9:50am when the all the Japanese forces had returned to their carriers. The torpedo attack only lasted around 11 minutes, until bomber forces moved on the base. After the whole ordeal, 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 were injured. Out of he eight ships docked that day, four were sunk, the others severely damaged. All the ships were recovered however, except the USS Arizona. Six of them returned to active service.

The major part of why this attack was so deadly was because it was a surprise attack. U.S. forces were not ready for or expecting an attack, and by the time they had got their planes in the air, and anti-aircraft guns ready, the damage was already done.

What idea from the Mayflower Compact influenced the Declaration of Independence?

Nitella [24]

Answer: Government should be for the common good, not just for a few people.

Explanation:

The Pilgrims came to America escaping from the Church of England, where access to the government was limited to a select group of people, based on wealth or lineage.

In opposition to that, the Mayflower Compact established that the American government, although not yet independent from the English crown, would be meant to represent the common good, and this idea had a strong influence in the Declaration of Independence.

The table below shows the number of hours high school students of different cities of two states spend on surfing the internet e

Andrews [41]

1. The histogram for State A is different in shape, center, and spread than the histogram for State B because the distribution of the average time spent on surfing in State A is uniform. This means that the time spent by the students of different cities in State A is very close to each other.
2. Students in State A spent more average time on surfing the internet because although there are cities in state B that spent 50 and 65 hours on the internet, they only make up a small portion of the sample.
