Why Did Japan Go To Victory In Pearl Harbor?
Pearl Harbor, Japan figured if they depleted the American forces in the pacific, they would be able to have a path to victory. The 5- star movie does not really establish a defined reason why Japan decided to go into war with America: there was no fully developed rationale presented in the movie, which would have helped provide a context for Japan’s declaration of war and their military attack on the US military forces in Hawaii on December 7, 1941.

The movie pointed out America’s sluggishness, and how they were consumed with living off of the high life of being stationed in Hawaii, which it ultimately lead to Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor as being vastly triumphant for them because Japan’s fighter planes went unnoticed and unfired upon all the way to the battleship row of Ford Island. Additionally, US Armed Forces in Washington did not even coordinate (or brief them daily) with the military stations in Hawaii: they were not even part of the “magic” mission. The movie actually only presented what the facts were that led to roughly 2,000 American soldiers being killed and the American pacific fleet being destroyed: the movie producers only painted the truth and captured it correctly. If the film was made today, it would be cast similarly as result of America’s temperament, and how complacent the US forces were leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 by
