Doolittle Raid How did it happen?

History

Answer:

Doolittle Raid, Surprise attack on Tokyo by U.S. bombers in 1942 during World War II. After Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, U.S Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt demanded that the U.S. military find a way to strike back directly at Japan. The only possible method was with carrier-borne aircraft, but standard naval planes had too short a range; carriers launching them would have to sail dangerously close to Japan’s well-defended coast. A special unit of 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers, far larger than naval aircraft, was trained under Col. James Doolittle to take off from the carrier USS Hornet and drop their bombs on Japan and then fly on to land in an area of China controlled by the pro-Allied Nationalists. They took off successfully on April 18 and arrived over Japan in daylight. They succeeded in bombing almost all Japanese targets, most in Tokyo but also in Kōbe, Yokosuka, and Ōsaka. Thirteen B-25s reached Chinese-held territory; among the crews of these aircraft, there were three fatalities from accidents during bail-outs or crash landings. One plane landed in the Soviet Union, and its crew was interned by Soviet authorities. Two planes went down in Japanese-controlled territory, and the crews were captured. Three raiders were executed by the Japanese and one died in captivity; the remaining four remained prisoners of war until the conclusion of hostilities. Little damage resulted, but the raid was a boost to American morale at a low point in the war.

What were the reasons given for the prisoner revolt at Attica prison? Who came to the prisoners'
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Eliot James Barkley

Explanation:

The Attica prison was located in the United States of America. And a serious riot was carried out by the inmates in the prison in many years back.

The reasons that led to the riot were because of severe overcrowding, virtual starvation, and an often complete absence of medical care as stated and experienced by the inmate.

And an instruction was given out by then the president to curb and stop the rioters.

It should be understood that the execution of the order and the riot led to the death of close a hundred of inmates and prison officials.

Elliot James Barkley was the person that came to the prisoners rescue. He served ad their spokesman.

umka2103 [35]
This African chant mourns the loss of Olaudah Equiano, an eleven-year-old boy who, in 1755, was kidnapped from his home in what is now Nigeria. He was purchased by a captain in the British Royal Navy, was later sold to a Quaker merchant in the Caribbean, and in 1766 bought his freedom. He wrote his autobiography in 1789, giving readers a rare glimpse of how it felt to be kidnapped from home in Africa and to survive onboard a slave trader's ship. In his autobiography, Equiano wrote, "There are few events in my life that have not happened to many." By this, he referred to the kidnapping of millions of free West Africans by slave traders, who then sold them to wealthy merchants and plantation owners.

Why do you believe that abortion is wrong when there are so many unwanted babies and the world is so overpopulated?
umka21 [38]
Hey there!

I feel k<span>illing is such a morally wrong crime because it takes away ones future experiences and potential enjoyment--That's exactly what you're doing in abortion. </span>
<span>So, saying "Abortion isn't really killing since its not an actual baby" is NOT a valid argument because abortion is just as morally wrong as killing
</span>
Hope this helps!

Always remember, you are A Work Of Art!
