Field Trip for Mrs. CrazyWitch
1. Pearl Harbor (Hawaii)
So I am sure everyone knows about Pearl Harbor and what happened on December 7, 1941. But I am sure CrazyWitch doesn't so here it is. On the morning December 7th the Japanese fired on the naval base in Pearl Harbor. Americans never saw it coming. Over three thousand casualties happened that day. This was the "trigger" for the Americans to go to war. The Japanese awoke the sleeping dragon. Neutrality is over and done with!
This was a Military issue because the Japanese destroyed a lot of the Americans naval equipment. Also many of the aircraft were destroyed. So they had to rebuild everything
AP Theme: American Identity
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Americans got this boost of nationalism for america. It made Americans want to defend there country after there tragic event that occurred. Also FDR's speech did america some good to.
When you tour the USS Missouri and other naval ships, you will get a insight on the war and how everything happened. Also USS Missouri was significant to the Japanese surrendering. The Arizona memorial is about the ship that sunk because of the attack. It is to pay your respects and have some historical history.
Tour cost!

2. Camp O"Donnell (Philippines)
Camp O" Donnell was the final stop on the Bataan Death March. It was used as an internment camp for Filipinos and Americans. Around 20,000 Filipinos and 1,600 Americans died at Camp O' Donnell. Filipino and American soldiers were said to have been beheaded in front of open graves. They were saved by the US Army and Philippine Commonwealth Army on January 30, 1945.
This was a Social issue. Just like the Japanese in america, the Americans and Filipinos were put into internment camps. Many of the American soldiers were killed and or died because of poor treatment. This was defiantly not a moral booster for the Americans after being defeated at the Bataan battle. This also could be a Military issue because it weakened the army a lot.
