Cool indeed... I've been to a course where we spent many lessons speculating the causes of events like Pearl Harbor. Such fateful actions that change the lives of so many... [Reporter ce message au modérateur]

Hello, thanks for coming up with this. Very interesting. I will delve into it in the next days. I wasn't aware of the so-called "Operation Snow"... Amazing! Cheers [Reporter ce message au modérateur]

I have a friend that has always said that Roosevelt maneuvered the Japanese into Pearl Harbor to get the US into the war to help the British. He believes that members of our government knew the Japanese were on the way and had the aircraft lined up on the runways to demolish the older models so that newer ones could be built, as they would be needed. All but three of the ships were rebuilt and fought in WWII. I believe that those in power could have suspected what was about to happen and did nothing to allow it to happen. There is a difference in allowing things to happen and making them happen. Who knows, maybe he was right all along. [Reporter ce message au modérateur]

There has always been discussion and theories about that. I guess we will never know for sure. trumpetman52 [Reporter ce message au modérateur]

Pearl Harbor conspiracy theories are as rampant as the JFK theories. Roosevelt did not ask Congress to declare war on Germany Hitler made the big mistake several days after Pearl Harbor to declare war on the United States. Wonder what would have happened had Hitler not made that blunder. [Reporter ce message au modérateur]
