This is actually called the attack on the Pearl Harbor
Japan was pretty small at the time compared to The place they attacked yet they still attacked... why?...
Japan got mad because they didn’t get their end of whatever deal they were making. Also they had a large lack of supply for oil. So Japan decided to take out their anger by attacking the Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
China it was modeled after
The economy in the United States in the 1920's varied greatly from European countries. After WWl, Europe struggled to rebuild. Europe had taken the brunt of the attacks and went into a deep depression. The United States in contrast boomed. The economy was better than ever before. Since no attacks had happened on American soil, we were able to mass produce consumer goods, etc. People were buying on credit, investing in the stock market, and moving to the city. Life was good in America; not so good in Europe.
