...Compare and Contrast Essay#1 Even though 9/11 and the bombing of Pearl Harbor were two different events, they both hurt the U.S. There are two speeches that I am going to compare and contrast. The first one is,” Infamy” spoken by President Franklin D. Roosevelt after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The second is ,” 9/11 Address to the Nation” spoken by George W. Bush after the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. The time periods for these two speeches are different in many ways. The first speech,”Infamy”, was given on December 8, 1941, while the speech,”9/11 Address to the Nation” was given on September 11, 2001. The time period for the first speech is in the 1940’s where the military wasn’t at its strongest, and also the Battle of Britian had also just...

...Pearl Harbor and 9/11 was both two tragedy terrorist attacks. Pearl Harbor was a attacked planned by the Japanese and carried most of the attack out while United states were unprepared. With 9/11, the attack was planned by Arab -Muslim hijackers. 9/ 11 was carried out by 2 planes crashing into the trade center and killing thousands of people. Pearl Harbor was carried out by Japanese going to the American base and throwing bombs , and shooting missiles from their airplanes. With the Japanese, their long term goals was to deliver a knockout blowout to the U.S Pacific fleet with a surprise attack on Pearl attack which would give Japan power , and would help the japanese enough resources they need. The Japanese sent a surprise attack to Pearl attack early morning on December 7 , and the Japanese sunk 4 American battleships , , caused the last to go underground, while the damaging three other ships and over three hundred aircraft. Although the attack devastatingly successful , It was not the knock out Japanese planners Intended.

...Today i will be disseminating the similarities and differences between the attacks on pearl harbor and 9-11. With pearl harbor the attack was mainly focused on military targets, on 9-11 most of the targets were civilians, with the exception of the pentagon bombing, and the supposed failed white house bombing. Both of these attacks were sent as an message to the united states, but the pearl harbor bombing had a more definitive meaning, to literally cripple the united states navy. 9-11 was more of a threat than a message, saying that america needs to stay out of the middle east or else. The differences between the attacks are one was during the 1940’s and they other was in 2000, a 60 year difference. Another difference was technology, the main source of information during the 1940 was radio, and this took about 1 hour to 2 hours to communicate just to the united states. With 9-11 the main source of information was television, and this was spread worldwide in a matter of minutes, if not seconds. Another difference was the countries / groups that committed these heinous crimes, one was the japanese imperial navy, the other was a ruminant of al qaeda....

...In the past, the United States of America has been through some tragic events that have gone down in history. Two of the most infamous events are that of 9/11 and the Pearl Harbor bombing. Both of these events brought sorrow and frustration to the American people. The presidents at the time of these events gave very famous speeches afterward. Bush, who was president at the time of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Roosevelt, who was president at the time of the Pearl Harbor bombings, both declared war in their speeches. There is however, quite a few differences between the events, the speeches, and the aftermath. September 11th of 2001, is a day that has changed our nation and the rest of the world greatly. On this day, four airplanes were hijacked by al-Qaeda members and were all crashed. There were 19 hijackers total involved in the attacks. American Airlines Flight 11 led by Mohamed Atta crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing all 92 aboard. United Airlines Flight 175 led by Marwan al-Shehhi crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, killing all 60 aboard. American Airlines Flight 77 led by...

...When talking about compare and contrast I think 2 different topics or 2 different things that are in the physical form. Similarities and how they compare is a discussion in itself. Looking for different topics to discuss, I came up with 2 different events In America’s timeline. These events are the attack on the world trade center in 2001, and the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1942.The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack on a navy base somewhere in Hawaii. Not only was it a surprise, but America as we knew it then in those earlier years had people scared and uncomfortable. The attack on 9/11/2001 was an unforgettable moment in our country’s history. The world trade center was destroyed by an act of terrorism. American owned airlines...

...Japanese coat, probably used to signify the Japanese choosing the side of the Axis powers, in contrast to the allied United States. Of course, our society now sees these ‘racial stereotypes’, depicted in posters such as the one provided, as WWII propaganda used to input fear and racial prejudice towards the Japanese Americans. Many, as of today, probably see this poster as blatant racism and as a poor, offensive joke. However, within the WWII era, these propaganda posters were very effective in influencing the ways Americans viewed Japanese immigrants, or even Japanese Americans. In fact, several imprisonment camps were set in order to over-look the Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor. Additionally, Japanese Americans were prime suspects of spying and plotting attacks with the Japanese attackers. Compare this to today’s...

The current Counterintelligence field in the United States, is improving since the 9/11 attacks where we had a massif failure in the counterintelligence and intelligence fields. This failure would be right up there with the Pearl Harbor attack that started World War 2 for the United States. I intend on showing that the current state in the counterintelligence...

...have secret agencies analyze and protect the new country. The use of secret agents, counterintelligence, and the clandestine paramilitary, have been used extensively to set up elaborate deceptions, gather sensitive information, and coordinate operations to cause sabotage towards other adversaries or countries that wished to cause us harm throughout the history of our country (Revolutionary Ideas, 2007). Although President Washington set a growing foundation of creating and fostering the need and use of foreign intelligence, it was President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) that helped combined the efforts of the state and war departments to coordinate efforts on a combined government-wide level (History of the CIA, 2007). The events of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 prompted FDR to make a change to all government intelligence. FDR asked World War I veteran William J. Donovan to draft a new plan for an intelligence service that would combine all those departments’ efforts and make sure they were on the same levels of communication (History of the CIA, 2007). Donovan became the new Coordinator of Information (COI). This was the United States’ first peacetime, non-departmental intelligence organization. It was called the Office of Strategic Services, or, OSS. World War II changed some of OSS’s original abilities and strategic operations. When the war started, OSS was...

...Robert S. Henzerling Strategy and Tactics Henley-Putnam University Author Note This paper was prepared for HIS 350, Open Sources Research, taught by Leland Erickson Abstract "Everything in war is simple, but the simplest thing is difficult. The difficulties accumulate and end by producing a kind of friction that is inconceivable unless one has experienced war." -Carl von Clausewitz When one talks of those who fought in war, names like Patton, Churchill, Napoleon, and Gallic comes to mind. But the words and strategy of Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz works appear more than anyone in history of war. Although separated by centuries between them, their principles, ideas, and theories are studied thoroughly by militaries across the world. Although they shared many of the same ideas, does not mean they were in total agreement. In fact their theories diverge in certain areas. The most diverged area amongst the two was their idea of reaching the end of victory. Sun Tzu defines victory as taking a state intact. He says it is better to capture the enemy then to destroy them. “To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme skill.” Sun Tzu also states that you should not allow your enemies to come together; you should severe and destroy your enemies’ alliances. The preferred methods for success in these matters would be the use of diplomacy, propaganda, and secret agents. By undermining the enemy’s plans and allies in this way, the need for actual battle...

...“I have decided, or rather I decided several months before it started, or may be several years say, not to write propaganda in this war at all. I am willing to go to it and will send my kids to it and will give what money I have to it but I want to write just what I believe all the way through it and after it. It was the writers in the last war who wrote propaganda that finished themselves off that way. There is plenty of stuff that you believe absolutely that you can write which is useful enough without having to write propaganda….If we are fighting for what we believe in we might as well always keep on believing in what we have believed, and for me this is to write nothing that I do not think is the absolute truth.” -To Maxwell Perkins, Finca Vigia, Cuba, May 30, 1942 It would be nice to designate the Second World War with a factual title, such as The Good War, or The Best War Ever, but in retrospect neither of these titles would be an honest opinion to the military or the civilian victims of the war. Historians and journalists alike, being that one cannot be the other and therefore should never be confused but for the instance of the following should be entitled to the same mistakes, insinuate that the portrayal of the Second World War was an accurate one without the tremendous censorship and propaganda that transpired out of the First World War. Undoubtedly, to believe such an apparent statement of propaganda would be to dismiss the actions and the transformation of...
