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.

Which was not part of Karl Marx's beliefs according to Das Kapital or the Communist Manifesto?

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

D. Business owners should be taxed to pay for workers' retirement.

Explanation:

Karl Marx book 'Das Kapital' favours communalism, against Capitalism. He states that society comprises of two classes : Capitalists (Bourgeois) & Workers (Proletariat). Capitalists (entrepreneurs) owe all the factors of production, are entitled to profit and labour just gets paid in form of 'wages' for the good produced.

Marx suggests that 'materialistic interpretation of history' has always led to power in the hands of group having productive resources. Goods are produced according to labour engaged in making them as per 'labour theory of value'. Capitalists class tend to pay workers much less than their production value, retain 'surplus value' for 'capital accumulation' to grow themselves. And meanwhile labour class gets just subsistence wages.

The two classes struggle due to all above mentioned, lead to : workers revolt against capitalists, abolishment of personal property and suggest Socialism to be best socio political system. It doesn't suggest that ' Business owners should be taxed to pay for workers' retirement'
