Pearl Harbor
Japan attacked us on December 7th at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. It was a very effective battle. Cruisers and battleships were sunken. Not every single submarine, but majority of them survived. Submarines could be very important to the people. After all, it's what hold weapons, missiles and more. Roosevelt had stated, "It's a date we live in infamy." That meant he was asking for a declaration of war, too. -
Battle of the Java Sea

Doolittle Raid
The US finally gets somewhere. We sent 16 bombers towards Japan's way. We bombed Tokyo and more of Japan. Japan then started to not believe in theirselves and have some doubts, giving us a little advantage. They didn't barley even believed in their leadership after that. With the advantage of this bombing, the US got ahead. -

Sub Attack
Two Japanese submarines come for an attack on the US. A strong merchant marine was essential to Japan's wartime economy. Those submarines could hold almost anything. Their goal was to bomb us, win over us, and make us question our allies so they could take advantage of us. -
Battle of the Changde

Firestorm
An attack on Tokyo. This is not the first time Tokyo has been attacked now. This attack killed about 100,000 people, while many were suffering major injuries. If you couldn't tell by the title, there were nothing but shots, fires, bombs, and more going off on each other. -
Russia Attacks
Hardened Soviets invade Japanese. Then, we quickly became defenders. This may be off topic, but now our relationship with Russia isn't the very best. This was all a rapid defeat of Japan.
