Topic Reading-Vol.970-12/7/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Five myths about Pearl Harbor
63 years ago today was the day of Pearl Harbor attack. While Japanese remember the eighth of December, 1941 was the day of the attack, it was the seventh for Americans and the international community because of the International Date Line which lies just in the west of Hawaii.
Though neither the US base nor the fleet seemed to have prepared for the attack, it has been popular myth, like the assassination of JFK, whether the US had predicted the attack or detected the move of the Japanese Imperial fleet.
Also, other significant surprise offensive moves were taken place on the day and on by Japanese army and navy in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and other islands.
Enjoy reading and learning what happened on the historic day.
