Ajoutée le 5 sept. 2013 Dans les derniers jours de l’année 1941, l’acte final du véritable début du conflit mondial va se jouer : le Japon et les Etats-Unis entrent en scène.L’attaque de Pearl Harbor par les forces navales japonaises, commandées par le vice-amiral Nagumo, désigné pour cette mission par l’amiral Yamamoto, est le déclencheur qui va mettre “le feu au Pacifique”.
Cette matinée du 7 décembre 1941 va non seulement sortir de leur torpeur les militaires de cette base hawaïenne, mais surtout pousser les Américains à abandonner leur politique non interventionniste. dans les jours qui vont suivre, les troupes japonaises parfaitement entraînées et préparées, vont fondre sur les Philippines, la Thaïlande et la Malaisie. Ils prennent Hong-Kong, débarquent à Sumatra et occupent la base américaine de Guam dans les îles Mariannes. en revanche sur le front russe, les Allemands marquent le pas. Ils doivent résister aux contre-attaques soviétiques et à l’hiver, qui se révèle tout aussi meurtrier que les balles et les obus de l’adversaire.

At Pearl Harbor’s 75th anniversary, a reminder of how America proved its greatness — and why it is still great
Think a Donald Trump presidency is scary? It’s Christmas pie compared with what confronted Americans 75 years ago.
Shock, anger and panic gripped the nation, especially the West Coast, when 353 Japanese airplanes attacked the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor, propelling America into a world war that left at least 60 million people dead around the planet.
World War II killed roughly 419,000 Americans — and up to 3 million Japanese and perhaps 9 million Germans, military and civilian. The Soviet Union lost 24 million.
At Pearl Harbor, the Japanese sunk or damaged 19 ships, including eight battleships, destroyed 188 aircraft and killed 2,403.
The Dec. 7, 1941, surprise attack unified America like it hasn’t been since.
Political polarization didn’t exist. We were all about patriotism and sacrifice, defeating the enemy and bringing the boys home.
Yes, today those ideals seem like really hard concepts to grasp.
