Introduction

The topic I chose for my blog is the Attack on Pearl Harbor. I chose this topic because war is something that I am very interested in, and this attack is significant because it was the first time that the U.S. had been attacked. The attack occurred on December 7th,1941 and 3,581 soldiers were wounded or killed.
Some big questions i would like to explore this semester are: Was it actually a surprise attack or did Roosevelt know of the attack before it happened? What was the relation between the U.S and Japan before the attack like?
