How the bombing in Perl harbour
effected soldiers and civilians.
The bombing raid was organised by the
Japanese to stop American war vessels from
defeating the Japanese's army.
It took place in broad daylight and the Japanese
massacred a large amount of American ships
and the Americans were not ready for the
attack because they said it was impossible to
attack Perl harbour.
Continuing Perl harbour
• This effected many civilians because the
Japanese killed vast amount of civilians also a
hospital and three churches, most people
were killed instantly.
• The soldiers were devastated because the
crew had many friends trapped inside the ship
and they all drowned.
• This type of warfare is very different to WW1.
Images of Perl Harbour
The difference between WW1 and
WW2
• The weaponry was very different a gun in ww1
could go almost a mile now they could kill
anything the eye could see.
• Planes have evolved in to massive bombing
planes and fast fighter planes. This is very helpful
because they could fly across the channel drop
tons of bombs on occupied France or Germany
and then fly home with out much danger apart
from the very modern anti aircraft guns are used
to protect the city's.

The difference between WW1 and
WW2 planes
• Well the difference is massive from little
biplanes to 300mph fighter planes that could
fly across the channel and back.
• I WW1 the planes could carry a though small
bombs and one small machine gun and WW2
you could have a flying tank a Lancaster
bomber which was surrounded my massive
machine guns and could carry tonnes of
bombs.
WW1 and WW2 planes
Weaponry from WW1
• WW1 weapons were basic but effective the rifles
could kill a man from a mile away and were quite
accurate but could be unreliable if the get wet or
muddy they could jam and that could lose your
life in a war.
• There machine guns were most effective in the
trench battles the most iconic was the vicars'
machine gun this was a water cooled machine
gun so when it over heated you could have a
cupper and were deadly accurate and could fire
hundreds of bullets in a matter of seconds.

WW2 weapons
• In WW2 the weapons were much more
advanced with one man operated fully
automatic machine guns which were brilliant
and rifles that could kill anything you can see
down your scope.
• Even grenades were evolved to have time
delays to terrify the enemy and were a lot
bigger explosions but smaller.

Politics in WW2
• The Nazi party run by Adolf Hitler was a
soldier in WW1 and was livid that Germany
lost the war Hitler blamed Jewish people Gays
and disabled people.
• This sparked one of the biggest horrors in
history the Holocaust were millions of Jew’s
disabled and gay people killed because of
there beliefs and conditions.
Politics and battle of Britain
• Hitler was a tactical genius he captured many
countries with out killing anyone.
• The only thing that stopped Hitler from
concurring Brittan was the English channel and
the battle of Brittan started it was between the
British RAF and the German Luftwaffe the fighting
was incredibly dangerous but the British pilots
had better faster stronger planes the German
fighter basically went on suicide missions.
Battle of Britain
• These images show how under equipped with
broken planes and the Germans had not
learnt how to balance multiple carburettors so
the planes would not function effectively.
Fighting for Berlin
• The Russians had been fighting in some of the
worst winters in history. This was terrible for
the Germans because they weren't use to
condisens the vehicles weren't up to it and
there cloths were ruined on top of all that the
Russians were at home in these condicens.
• Many Germans frozen to death at there posts.
