What do you like about this subject? I'm a real history buff, and plan to teach HS History after I retire from the US Navy.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? My aim is to complete a BA in History and move into teaching

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Of all the ships that were sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbor, only 3 never saw service again: USS Arizona, USS Utah, and USS Oklahoma

Something controversial or provocative about this subject There are some who say that President Roosevelt knew the attack was coming, but did not try especially hard to prevent it. It is said that he hoped that an attack on the US would get the nation into open war with the Axis.
