American President Franklin D. Roosevelt knew information about the attack on Pearl Harbor ahead of time, but he made the aircraft carriers and new warships leave Pearl Harbor for an “exercise.” Even though it was Sunday, more officers and men than the fixed number of regular personnel were stationed on the USS Arizona, which was sunk due to a secondary explosion at the powder magazine. A total of 2,400 men died in this attack, half (1,200) of which were on the USS Arizona. In general, the powder magazine at the ship’s bottom is not induced to explode by an aircraft bombing. In the past the U.S. blew up and sunk its own USS Maine. It then used the slogan “Remember the Maine” to inspire the citizens to fight against Spain, began warring with Spain, and snatched away Guam and the Philippines. The U.S. did the same thing at Pearl Harbor.
