I believe the Americans were not prepared is because they weren't expecting the japanese to attack and the japanese had not declared war and the Americans thought the Japanese were not going to attack that early.

I dont think America was papared .

The US thought japanese wouldn't bomb them since they knew they were stronger and I think it could of been avoided and we could of been out of the war a little longer.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they weren't ready when they bombed us.

The Japanese had great intelligence and the Americans could've been prepared ahead of time if they thought more carefully.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they could have worked out a way to take them by surprise  first. They should have known something was going to happen.

The US was ill prepared because we were in a state of neutrality during this time and didn't want to be involved because people were still recovering from the first world war. The US didn't expect anyone to attack them so suddenly and don't think it could have been avoided.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think they were very prepared because they didn't have the weapons ready and we really couldn't avoided that unless we would have paid attention but we would have still have the war we would just be ready for it

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like the Japanese were very smart and they knew that the Americans weren't prepared for this war. I honestly don't think that it could have been avoid.

# data[].attributes.body
I think when america saw that the japanese were bombing other countries w nothing. If america would have just been ready we have avoided this

# data[].attributes.body
I think that even though the Americans knew about Japanese bombing, but they weren't like mentally prepared for what came their way and I don't think it really could have been avoided.

I dont think that the Americans were prepared like they should have been. It is most likely that they were not prepared for s life threating situation. you can only prepare for it when it happens at the moment.

# data[].attributes.body
They didn't think they would so they didn't worry about it. We could have fought immediately.

# data[].attributes.body
Japanese were tactical and really smart so they used that skill during the war.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason we didn't see the Japanese planning to bomb us was because they are very skillful and able to stay hidden. I think that if we would have paid more attention ten we would have been able to see what they were planning to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that they were very prepared. Its most likely that for something that life threatning you cannot be so prepared and I think no on would ever think of something like that until it happens. I feel that this could not be avoided, the Japanease were going to do it anyways.

# data[].attributes.body
we were ill prepared because we were trying to stay outta war so we figured that if we stay out it wouldn't affect us it could of been avoided by hitting them first and harder

# data[].attributes.body
The moment America knew they were about to be attacked they should have went into action. They should have done something to prevent it in any way. Since they didn't many died, many were wounded to.

# data[].attributes.body
They weren't prepared and i don't think they would have been.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that when america saw japanese attacking and invading other countries, they saw what was going on but didn't think they would attack the United States.

# data[].attributes.body
The Japanese were very tactical and smart people so they used that in the war. They thought that America was to strong or just really powerful so they decided to use the act of surprise to blindside America at its weak point. This could have been avoided by working a treaty or a agreement between countries, or just a cease fire on both parts would have been a subtle way to settle the countries unreasonable bitterness towards us.

i say that the american did not saw the attack coming that's why a lot of people died the japanese
