Why was the United States unprepared for Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor?

Question

A: The United States was unprepared for Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor because Hawaii was not mentioned as a possible target in the war warning that American commanders at the Pearl Harbor naval base received from Washington. In addition, Washington officials doubted Japan would try to launch such a long-range attack.

Answer 1

I agree.

Answer 2

I believe the United States was unprepared because this was a day of worship in America. Not only did the Japanese know this but they decided to catch the unsuspecting soldiers and marines off guard. It was truly a cowardly way to defeat the enemy without facing them.

Answer 3

The Navy and Army were both warned multiple times but ignored the warnings.They ignored the radar that showed the Japanese planes. They ignored the Japanese mini-sub in the Hrbor (they can only be a few miles from a mother ship. When I visited the Hiroshima Peace Museum they say nothing about the causes of the war.No mention of the Japanese army enslaving tens of thousands of Korean and Chinese women into sex servants for their troops all over the Pacific. No mention of beheading thousands of men who surrendered. Or invading the Philippines. Or Pearl Harbor. japanese schools DO NOT TEACH this to their young, unlike the Germans who tell about Hitler and the Nazis. Japan still acts like they're above the rest of Asia and most of the world, but the US worries about China. The Chinese have NEVER started a war.
