"Day of Infamy"On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes attacked the naval base at Pearl Harbor in a horrendous attack. With this, the 32nd president of the United States, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, delivered his famous speech. Shortly thereafter, Great Britain and the United States declared war on Japan. Not long after, Germany declares war on the United States. The attack on Pearl Harbor can be considered America's starting point in the war of World War II. Now, technically, the war began earlier, around 1921-1922, when Adolf Hitler took control of the National Socialist German workers, otherwise known as Nazis. But the United States didn't get involved until the Japanese suddenly attacked Pearl Harbor. The United States had the idea that the Japanese attacked America, but that's another debate. Now, if the Americans at Pearl Harbor knew for sure that Japanese planes were about to attack, would there be another outcome to this assault? I think there would be. If I could go back in time and prevent something, I think I would go to Pearl Harbor and confirm and warn that the Japanese are about to attack Pearl Harbor and with that in mind the US Navy fleet would have been well prepared for such an attack as it was imminent an attack from Japan. As a result of my precautions, the outcome of the attack would have been completely different and the American economy today could have been different. Regardless of the warning, Pearl Harbor Naval Base would still be attacked. However, the victims would be completely different. During the two-hour attack on Pearl Harbor, 18 warships, 188 aircraft and 2,403 military personnel were killed in the attack. One of the main reasons for this was because they were all unprepared. The Japanese attacked during the waking hours of normal people. Many soldiers were still in a state of sleep or had just started the day, thinking it would be a normal day. If they had been well warned and prepared, the United States would have had its planes ready for war or attack. With this in mind, they would have had a greater chance of retaliating against the Japanese. There would have been more planes in the air, more heavy arsenals engaged, better positioned and quite possibly another fleet of aircraft
