Social 20-1
You wrote your Unit 2 WRA I at the beginning of class today. This was the last assessment before your Midterm Report which is on Monday. After the WRA I, I wrote a few notes on the board to introduce some of the early stages of WWII in both Europe and the Pacific. We looked at the start of the war in the Pacific with the attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The Japanese were inspired by the successes of Nazi Germany in Europe, and they too had aspirations of establishing an empire in the Pacific so in late 1941 they began to attack two key holdings of rivals in the Pacific: the British colony of Hong Kong and the headquarters of the American Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor. These attacks were coordinated, with the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor on the morning of December 7, 1941 while attacking Hong Kong on the same day (it's December 8 in Hong Kong though). With the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States will formally enter WWII on the side of the Allies. After the break we watched an excerpt from the movie "Pearl Harbor". After watching the movie we watched a documentary on the internment of Japanese-Canadians after the attack on Pearl Harbor. I will also be posting a PowerPoint presentation on the wiki on the internment of Japanese-Canadians in WWII that I highly recommend that you read and study. I will put it up on the wiki under Unit 2 Presentations this afternoon. You have your Chapter 5-6 Test on Monday, please see the study guide below.Chapter 5-6 Test Study Guide:
