The President and Congress immediately declared war against Japan. The Emperor of Japan and his military leaders assured the citizens of Japan that the United States would be unable to endure the type of war that they would bring us. Their reasoning was that since the people of the United States were so racially diverse, we would not be able to have the resolve necessary to fight against the "superior" Japanese military. Unfortunately for them and fortunately for us, they were wrong.

American men lined up at recruter offices to fight in the war, women went to work in the factories - businesses - Baseball teams - anyplace that the men were leaving behind to keep life going here. In general - the United States of America was attacked when we actively stayed out except helping with supplies and we were not going to sit back and take it without a fight.

America responded with war. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, America decided that it was time to enter the second world war. The U.S. declared war on Japan and it all led to the atomic bombs.

From what I know, the navy soldiers were still sleeping, and were shocked by the large explosive noise of japans bombs. They went out to the decks with there white shirts and possibly underwear or pants and fired at them with what they had in sight.

I hope this helped, I'm not sure if its all correct but hopefully it does!

President Roosevelt declared war on Japan and American forces began to get ready for war. Germany declared war on the United States because they were an ally with Japan. So a two front War was forming. In 1945 after 4 years of war American forces will drop two atomic bombs on Japan. In the Hiroshima bomb 80,000 people were killed instantly.
