If America hadn’t dropped the atomic bomb “hundreds of thousands - perhaps millions - would have perished in the planned U.S. invasion of Japan.” After the bombing the war immediately ended and so did the great depression.

Tora! Tora!" (Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!).The Americans are taken completely by surprise. The first attack wave targets airfields and battleships.

Three light cruisers, three destroyers and three smaller vessels are lost along with 188
