Japan Attacks the Continental United States (2022x121)

Air date: Jul 12, 2022

Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series covering the Pacific War week by week continues with another video in the series. Last week, we covered the Japanese Biological Warfare against China. This week's video will be dedicated to the attack on the continental United States, as the Aleutian islands were not the only territories in North America to be attacked by Japan. About a week after the attack on Pearl Harbor, 9 submarines of the Japanese 6th Fleet arrived off the North American Pacific coast. They were tasked with performing reconnaissance and disrupting shipping lanes. Some of these submarines would go a step further and carry out attacks on the mainland of North America. This episode will be the War on the American Pacific Coast.
