Isoroku Yamamoto's Accomplishments
Isoroku Yamamoto,the mastermind behind the attack of Pearl Harbor, once said ‘’Even a burglar hesitates to go back for more.’’

Yamamoto had to go through a lot before being known as the mastermind of the planned attack on pearl harbor.He was so smart he even went through one of the most persigue colleges in the U.S. Because of this great education he was provided with, Yamamoto was able to speak the language of which the country he was planning to attack and he learned more about the U.S military which was critical in his planned attack on Pearl ´´Upon graduation, Takano was presented with an opportunity: adoption into the honorable Yamamoto family, which had no sons to continue its name. Isoroku Takano became Isoroku Yamamoto.Yamamoto

In addition to becoming a relentless poker player, Yamamoto developed a low opinion of American naval officers, considering the U.S. navy a club for golfers and bridge players. On the other hand, he developed a healthy respect for American industrial capacity.
After seeing further into Yamamoto’s life he is just another regular guy like you and me.He loves many of the games older adults like to play to enjoy and pass the time.

TO the U.S it seems to be that Yamamoto was a villain that almost destroyed the whole country.But to the Japanese he was a hero who would be looked over as one of the best naval generals of all time. ‘’He headed the combined fleet in 1941 and was the mastermind behind Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. After he was killed in action in 1943, he became a national hero.’’
Yamamoto may be one of the most evil masterminds to the U.S but he was also one of the most brilliant men in the world with all of the plans and devices he made.He will definitely go down as one of the best naval generals of all

    On the seventh of December in the year 1941, the American naval base was attacked by Japanese fighter planes. Following the death of over two-thousand American soldiers and sailors, Franklin D. Roosevelt declared war upon Japan. After decades of conflict with Japan the United States became another country to be officially involved in World War II. One of the main reasons for tension with the country of Japan is the contrasting styles of dealing with Japan’s neighbor country China, Which was in war with Japan since 1937. At the time of Pearl Harbor, American troops were not expecting an attack from Japan, let alone so close to home (History.com Staff par. 1-3). This major attack on United States soil was a very crucial part to World War II as it initially got the U.S. involved in the midst of the conflict.During an Interview with Scholastic, witnesses Hubert Gano and his wife Margaret Ellen Gano replayed the events that transpired. “ A very loud explosion rattled our windows.” “We rushed outside to see a string of airplanes in a shallow dive toward the ships at the end of our peninsula.” “We could see red anti-aircraft tracer shells floating up toward the lead aircraft.” “I could see the "Rising-Sun" emblem that decorated the side of the aircraft which identified them as Japanese.” over two years after Pearl Harbor occurred, the United States put a stop to World War II (History.com Staff par.…

(Glantz 152-167) The Soviet Union had emerged World War 2 as a superpower and as the only legitimate challenger to American hegemony.

    My fellow leaders and advisors held exceedingly ambivalent views, when our American Allies first issued the Potsdam Declaration late July. They demanded unconditional surrender of all our armed forces! If this wasn’t disreputable enough, they threatened imminent and complete destruction of not only our forces, but they insured absolute devastation of our homeland if we failed to comply with their egregious policy! One consequential condition declared on the Potsdam Declaration undoubtedly resonated with me personally and many other leaders and advisors. The declaration specified “elimination for all of the authority and influence of those who have deceived and misled the people of Japan into…
