Attack at Pearl Harbor, 1941, EyeWitness History,__www.eyewitness.com__ (19970).

This web article is a secondary source published by EyeWitness History. It is credible
because this organization received awards from USA Today Outstanding Website,
Yahoo! Pick of the Week, Teacher Tool of the Week, and many others. The article refers
to the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The first target hit at 7:55 AM and
two more followed about an hour later. Approximately three hours later, Japans planes
started a day-long attack. Even though Pacific Fleet was in shock, their aircraft carriers,
submarines, and its fuel oil storage emerged quickly. This formed the American response
that led to them winning the Battle of Midway in June and the total them destroying the
Japanese Empire four years later. I chose this source because it contained evidence
from a witness when the bombing occurred in Pearl Harbor. That is also why I decided to
use this source as well.
