The New Period Chat Radio. The Japanese empire attacked the US on its outpost in Pearl harbor Hawaii in 1941. During that time the US was supporting the war efforts of England and China against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan. Japan was under rapid expansion in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, and China. And, Japan's oil and other supplies were cut off by the US when they invaded China. Under a baffling logic, Japan attacked the US military at Pearl Harbor. In rapid succession the US declared war on Japan, then entered the war in Europe. The US quickly geared for war and began defeating Japanese strong holds in the pacific, eventually gaining air reach over Japan. The US began a relentless air bombing campaign in many Japanese cities with seemingly indiscriminate targeting of civilian and military. The targeting of city high population areas was surely designed to cause mass civilian casualties. At the time outlawed under the league of nations and the Versailles treaty. And, immoral and criminal under all sensible judgment. But, these indiscriminate bombings took place for over 3 years, killing multiple hundreds of thousands of civilians in Japan.
