WWII BIG PICTURE
• The Treaty of Versailles that ended WWI created
an uneasy peace. Amid postwar instability, Great
Britain and France avoided conflict, and the
United States sought to isolate itself from
Europe’s troubles. Meanwhile, however,
Germany, Italy, and Japan fell under the sway of
leaders promising order and glory. Their
aggressions would lead into WWII, a conflict that
pitched the Axis Powers against the Allies.

DISCUSSION QUESTION:
WAR AND AMERICA
– Copy Down & Answer
• To what circumstances (for what reasons) do
you think America should enter a war? Explain.
THE RISE OF JAPAN
JAPAN
• The Depression destroyed the market for
imported silk from Japan.

looking for more raw materials and bigger
markets for her factories. In 1931, Japan
attacked Manchuria, a province in Northeastern
China
• The League of Nations condemned the attack,
but took no action
JAPAN AND ASIA
• Throughout the 1930’s, Japan craved the
natural resources of China
• After setting up a government in Manchuria,
Japan slowly moved southward and took over
more land
• In 1940, Japan would sign an alliance with
Germany and Italy, and look to take over more
territory including French Indochina, in order to
acquire goods such as rubber and oil.
SOURCES FOR MINERALS, MARKET
FOR GOODS
With the growth of Japan’s income and a growing
confidence; they felt they could get away with their
brand of imperialism, the Japanese Emperor and
military leaders began to think they were invincible.
THE JAPANESE THREAT
• Meanwhile, Japan had been ravaging the
countries and islands in Asia
• They seized French Indochina in Southeast
Asia, and planned to take the East Indies, British
Malaya, and the American territory of the
Philippines for oil
• Roosevelt responding by freezing Japanese
assets in banks and stopping the sale of oil
and gasoline to Japan
JAPAN’S CHANGE OF POWER
• Fumimoro Konoye, the Japanese Prime Minister
believed Japan could not beat America in a war.
• However, he was replaced by Hideki Tojo, who
did not share Konoye’s views.
• Members of Konoye’s staff warned, attacking
America would awaken a sleeping giant.
HIDEKI TOJO
AN EVIL PLOT
• On November 20th, peace negotiations were
ongoing between the U.S and Japan to resolve
their differences.
• Tojo, confident of their military might, planned a
surprise attack on the U.S. to destroy their
entire naval capability in the Pacific.
• The base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was
extremely vulnerable to attack.
PEARL HARBOR
• On December 7th, 1941, Japan launched a
surprise attack through the air on Pearl
Harbor.
• More than 2,300 soldiers, sailors and civilians
were killed.
• The navy’s three aircraft carriers were away at
sea, which was the only good news of the day.
PEARL HARBOR
• Pearl Harbor was the worst defeat in American
Military history.
• The attack effectively ended America’s policy
of isolationism.
• FDR asked for a declaration of war from
congress, and congress quickly approved the
action.
