General McClellan began as youthful cadet at West Point, where he in the end graduated second in his class. He battled respectably in the Mexican War and showed military designing at West Point. Strangely, he was to meet his future President and Commander in Chief, Abraham Lincoln, when he turned into the Head of Engineering at Illinois Central Railroad in 1857, after he surrendered from the administration. At the time, Lincoln was held by the railroad as its main legal advisor.
On the morning of December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The surprise attack by some 350 Japanese aircraft sunk or badly damaged eighteen US naval vessels, including eight battleships, destroyed or damaged 300 US aircraft, and killed 2,403 men.
Across the nation, Americans were stunned, shocked, and angered. The attack turned US public opinion in favor of entering the Second World War. The United States declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941.
Japan’s allies, Germany and Italy, declared war on the United States on December 11. The United States responded in kind, and therefore entered World War II.
Hope this helps you write it! :D
