During World War Two the Japanese and American navies played very important roles. Both navies shared many similar traditions, as well as a long history of success. In this period the roles of these navies were drastically challenged by the threat of modern day warfare. The battles in which these two forces fought helped produce a new wave of tactics that have defined military procedure up to present day. Many new technological advancements were engineered and implemented as a direct effect of lessons learned throughout the battles in the Pacific. The Japanese and American economies proved strong deciding factors during the war, and helped set the stage for future mobilizations. The locations of both countries also served to increase the entire magnitude of the war, as well as the way it would be fought. Many great leaders arose from both sides during World War Two who helped play key roles in the success and failure of their commands. The results of World War Two were costly and stood as a testament to the ferocity in which it had been fought.

The Japanese and American navies have long histories of success. Both countries have used their navies in import

One of the main factors in deciding the victor in World War Two was the economic stability of the countries involved. At the time, Japan and America both had very different economies. However, for a country to be able to successfully fight a war its economy must be able to effectively supply all the necessary goods and armaments in order to engage in long term battle. The location of a country and its palpability to change from an industrial free market to military production is paramount in maintaining a strong wartime economic situation. Before World War Two the Japanese and American economies were uniquely different. For most of its history Japan has been forced to rely on the import of goods, because of the fact that it located in an area that lacks many natural resources. For example, one of Japan's strongest reasons for attacking Pearl Harbor was because of the oil embargo placed on it by the United States. In fact, Japan's pre-war conquests of China were not only results of want of property, but of natural resources as well. Without such commodities as steel and oil no country would be able to produce the necessary armaments to fight a war. At the time of Japanese imperialism the United States found itself in a far different economic situation. For the last decade America had suffered under an unprecedented nation wide depression. A 25 percent unemployment rate had successfully weakened the American economy. However, when the United States declared war on Japan the depression actually helped the massive military buildup. Millions of workers found jobs in not only the military, but in factories as well. Thousands of factories nationwide were converted into producing the necessary materials to fight a war. For example, Ford Motor Company began to make jeeps, tanks, and trucks instead of cars. Boeing began to produce bombers instead of passenger planes. Many costal shipyards were converted into producing battleships, destroyers, and aircraft carriers. Unlike Japan, the United States is a country full of natural resources, and during the war was not forced to rely on imported products. Steel mills in Pittsburgh and oil fields in Texas supplied much of the raw materials used during World War Two.

In World War One the United States Navy played a crucial role in helping to win the war. It was during this time period that the navy learned the importance of large battleships. Although Japan did not have very much active involvement in the war, their navy also realized the importance of battleships, and began to produce many themselves. During the 1920s and 1930s the American Navy fell into a period of inactivity. However, in this period the Japanese Navy became strengthened and experienced as a result of the many battles it fought in to capture territories in China, as well as all over the Pacific. From these territories Japan now had the ability to launch attacks from all over the Pacific. In 1941 the United States launched an oil embargo on Japan in order to stop the Japanese military expansion. Until December 1941 the Japanese leadership pursued two courses: They tried to get the oil embargo lifted on terms that would still let them take the territory they wanted, and they prepared for war. The U.S. demanded that Japan withdraw from China and Indochina, but would very likely have settled for a token withdrawal and a promise not to take more territory. The effects of this embargo would have served to cripple the Japanese military. Therefore, in response the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the American Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor. The attack commenced at 8:00 am, December 7, 1941. In the first wave, consisting of 105 high-level bombers, 135 dive-bombers, and 81 fighter aircraft the Japanese sunk the Arizona, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and California. During the two hour attack the Japanese destroyed 18 warships, 188 aircraft, and killed 2,403 servicemen. The original Japanese plan of attack was to comple
