Isoroku Yamamoto Commander-in-chief of the Japanese Navy during WWII Did not believe a Japanese victory was probable

“If ordered to fight, ‘I shall run wild considerably for the first six months or a year, but I have utterly no confidence for the second and third years.’”

The idea behind the Pearl Harbor attack; “seek a decision with the Americans by first reducing their

forces with a preventive strike, and following it with a ‘Decisive Battle’ fought offensively, rather than defensively.”

Page 30: War Debt British & French borrowed heavily from the U.S. Reparations Treaty of Versailles Both Britain & France relied on reparations from Germany
Page 31: War Debt British & French borrowed heavily from the U.S. Reparations Treaty of Versailles Both Britain & France relied on reparations from Germany

A Japanese message was decoded as to a tour of bases Yamamoto was taking.

President Roosevelt ordered “get Yamamoto.” (Operation Vengance) His plane was intercepted and shot down in a dogfight. Captain Thomas George Lanphier, Jr. radioed:

"That son of a bitch will not be dictating any peace terms in the White House.”

In 2003, First Lieutenant, Rex T. Barber was given sole credit for the downing of Yamamoto’s plane, after being given half credit as Lanphier’s Wingman.

Page 34: War Debt British & French borrowed heavily from the U.S. Reparations Treaty of Versailles Both Britain & France relied on reparations from Germany

The crash site: Yamamoto had been thrown clear of the plane's wreckage,

his white-gloved hand grasping the hilt of his katana, still upright in his seat under a tree.

Yamamoto was instantly recognizable, head dipped down as if deep in thought.

A post-mortem of the body disclosed that Yamamoto received two wounds, one to the back of his left shoulder and one to his left lower jaw that exited above his right eye.

The War Economy Government spending increased paid through

Taxes & War Bonds

Price controls were put in place by the Office of Price Administration (OPA) to prevent scarcity of goods.

Rationing – items like sugar, gasoline, and meat came in short supply so the government implemented a rationing program.

Labor Unions made a “no-strike” pledge

Page 41: War Debt British & French borrowed heavily from the U.S. Reparations Treaty of Versailles Both Britain & France relied on reparations from Germany

Society during the war Woman labor increased during the war. The war

produced new opportunities in the workplace. Famous image of this time is “Rosie the Riveter.”

African Americans – joined the war effort, and many moved to the north & west to fill the void in labor.

Native Americans – 25,000 served during the war. The most famous were the code talkers.

The survivors, Ira Hayes, Rene Gagnon, John Bradley (Navy) were sent to home to tour the country on a War Bond drive Ira Hayes a Prima Native American died a alcohol related death

in January 1955 John Bradley suffered from severe Post Traumatic Stress for most

of his life. Died of stroke on 1994. Flags of Our Fathers:

“I have tried so hard to block this out. To forget it. We could choose a buddy to go in with. My buddy was a guy from Milwaukee. We were pinned down in one area. Someone elsewhere fell injured and I ran to help out, and when I came back my buddy was gone. I couldn’t figure out where he was. I could see all around, but he wasn’t there. And nobody knew where he was. A few days later someone yelled that they’d found him. They called me over because I was a corpsman. The Japanese had pulled him underground and tortured him. His fingernails... his tongue... It was terrible. I’ve tried hard to forget all this."

—John Bradley

Rene Gagnon died October 1979 a bitter man for the lack of jobs promised by the government. "When someone who doesn't know me is introduced to me,

they say 'That was you in The Photograph?' What the hell are you doing working here? If I were you, I'd have a good job and lots of money.'"
