    HISTORY OF PEARL HARBOR


    (World war I & II)

    Shortly before 8am on Sunday 7 December 1941, the first of two


    waves of Japanese aircraft launched a devastating attack on the
    US Pacific Fleet, moored at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The raid, which
    came with no warning and no declaration of war, destroyed four
    battleships and damaged four more in just two hours. It also
    destroyed 188 US aircraft. While 100 Japanese perished in the
    attack, more than 2,400 Americans were killed, with another
    1,200 injured.
    The causes of the attack on Pearl Harbor stemmed from
    intensifying Japanese-American rivalry in the Pacific.
    Japans imperial ambitions had been evident from as early as
    1931, when she invaded Manchuria. The conquered regions
    bountiful resources were then used to supply Japans war
    machine. Leaving the League of Nations in 1933, Japan pursued
    an aggressive foreign policy aimed at creating the Greater East
    Asia Co-prosperity Sphere, a euphemism for a Japanese empire
    modelled on European ones of the 19th century.
    Japan became seen as a serious threat to the economic interests
    and influence of the US and European powers in Asia. By July
    1937, with Japan engaged in all-out war with China, relations
    plunged to new lows. US President Roosevelt imposed economic
    sanctions, and Japan turned to the Axis powers, signing the
    Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy in September 1940.
    When Japan occupied French Indochina in July
    1941, Roosevelt continued to avoid direct confrontation. But

    Japans imperial ambitions in the Pacific had placed her on a


    collision course with the United States, which controlled the
    Philippines and had extensive economic interests throughout the
    region. When the US imposed an oil embargo on Japan,
    threatening to suffocate her economy, Japans response was to
    risk everything on a massive pre-emptive strike which would
    knock the US out of the Pacific, clearing the way for a Japanese
    conquest of resource-rich South East Asia.
    The Japanese achieved complete surprise at Pearl Harbor,
    something that can largely be attributed to failures in US
    intelligence. Although the US had cracked Japanese radio codes,
    in this case the raw data was not interpreted correctly by army
    and navy. Although the attack pummelled American battleships,
    US aircraft carriers escaped unscathed. This was critical because
    the Pacific Fleet would have been virtually incapable of operating
    without them.
    The following day, the US declared war against Japan, where a
    shared sense of outrage and hatred had united the countrys
    bitterly divided media and public behind Roosevelt. On 11
    December 1941, Germany and Italy declared war on the United
    States, thus bringing America into World War II.
    Pearl Harbor appeared to be a huge success for Japan. It was
    followed by rapid Japanese conquests inHong
    Kong, Singapore, Burma, the Philippines, Malaya and New Guinea.
    Yet in the long term, the attack was strategically catastrophic. The
    sleeping giant had been awoken, and in America, a sense of fury
    now accompanied the mobilisation for war of the worlds most
    powerful economy. The losses at Pearl Habor would soon be more
    than made good, and used to take a terrible vengeance on Japan.

    Sir Lancelot Du Lac (Launcelot)


    Lancelot was the son of King Ban of Benwick
    and Queen Elaine. He was the First Knight of
    the Round Table, and he never failed in
    gentleness, courtesy, or courage. Launcelot
    was also a knight who was very willing to serve
    others.
    It has been said that Lancelot was the greatest
    fighter and swordsman of all the knights of the
    Round Table. Legend tells us that as a child, Lancelot was left by
    the shore of the lake, where he was found by Vivien, the Lady of
    the Lake. She fostered and raised him, and in time Lancelot
    became one of history's greatest knights.

    Sir Gawain
    Gawain is generally said to be the nephew
    of Arthur. His parents were Lot of Orkney
    and Morgause (though his mother is said
    to be Anna in Geoffrey of Monmouth).
    Upon the death of Lot, he became the
    head of the Orkney clan, which includes in
    many sources his brothers Agravain,
    Gaheris, and Gareth, and his half-brother
    Mordred.

    Sir Geraint
    The eldest son of King Erbin of Dumnonia who was a
    Knight of Devon. After the death of his his wife,
    Prince Geraint spent much time at King Arthur's
    Court, looking for action and adventure. It was
    during this period that he encountered the Sparrow
    Hawk Knight and came to marry Lady Enid of CaerTeim (Cardiff), a story told in the ancient tales of
    "Erec (alias Geraint) & Enid" and "Geraint mab
    Erbin".
    Sir Geraint restored Sir Yniol all of his possessions
    and then married his beautiful daughter, Lady Enid.
    Later Geraint heard Enid bewailing his sloth as a knight; he was stung with
    shame and mistakenly believed Enid to be unfaithful to him. He took her on a
    journey through a series of trials until she convinced him of her constancy.
    They returned and lived in happiness for the remainder of their lives.

    Sir Gareth
    Gareth was the youngest brother of Sir
    Gawain and the son of Lot and Morgause
    of Orkney. He played a significant role in
    Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. Malory's "Tale
    of Sir Gareth" was apparently created by
    Malory. It presents Gareth as an exemplar
    of chivalry who is knighted by and
    devoted to Sir Lancelot and who acts
    chivalrously towards Lynette despite her abuse of him.

    Sir Gaheris
    Sir Gaheris was the son of King Lot of
    Orkney and his wife Morgause, sister of
    King Arthur, before being knighted he
    was squire to his elder brother Gawaine.
    Sir Gaheris married Lynette on the day
    his brother Gareth married hersister,
    Dame Lionesse, of the Castle Perilous.
    The two brothers were slain in the struggle following the rescue of
    Queen Guinevere from the fire, though this was by accident as Sir
    Lancelot did not recognise them in the crowd. Sir Gawaine for a
    long time held Sir Lancelot in bitter hatred.

    Sir Bedivere
    Sir Bedivere was a trusty supporter of King Arthur from the
    beginning of his reign, and one of the first knights to join the
    fellowship of the Round Table. He helped Arthur fight the Giant of
    Mont St. Michel, and later he was made Duke of Neustria.
    Bedivere had only one hand later in life, having lost one of his

    hands in a battle. He had a son


    called Amren and a daughter named
    Eneuavc.

    Sir Galahad
    Galahad was the natural son of
    Launcelot. His name may be of Welsh
    origin or come from the place name
    Gilead in Palestine. His mother was
    Elaine, and he was placed in a nunnery
    as a child, being that the abbess there
    was his great aunt.
    One day a sword in a stone was seen in
    a river by Arthur's knights, and it was
    said that only the world's best knight
    could pull out the sword. Galahad was
    led into Arthur's court where he sat in
    the Siege Perilous and then drew the
    sword out. It was later on when the Grail
    appeared in a vision at Arthur's court that Galahad was one of the three
    knights chosen to undertake the Quest for the Holy Grail. He was given a
    white shield, made by Evelake, with a red cross which Joseph of Arimathea
    had drawn in blood. In the course of the Quest he joined up with Percivale,
    Bors, and Percivale's sister. On board Solomon's ship, Galahad obtained the
    Sword of David, and after the death of Percivale's sister the trio split up for a
    while and Galahad traveled with his father, Launcelot.

    Sir Kay
    Sir Kay was the son of Ector (Ectorious) and the
    foster brother of King Arthur. History records Kay
    (Cai in Welsh) as being a very tall man, as shown
    by his epithet, the Tall. He appears in the
    Mabinogion tale of "Culhwch and Olwen" as the
    foremost warrior at the Court of the King Arthur,
    and apparently had mystical powers and was
    called one of the "Three Enchanter Knights of
    Britain" for:
    "nine nights and nine days his breath lasted under
    water, nine nights and nine days would he be
    without sleep. A wound from Cai's sword no physician might heal. When it
    pleased him, he would be as tall as the tallest tree in the forest. When the
    rain was heaviest, whatever he held in his hand would be dry for a
    handbreadth before and behind, because of the greatness of his heat, and,
    when his companions were coldest, he would be as fuel for them to light a
    fire".

    Sir Bors de Ganis


    Sir Bors was the only knight to survive the
    Quest for the Holy Grail and return to court.
    His fathers name was Bors, and he later
    succeeded his father as King of Gannes.
    Bors was a chaste knight, but the daughter

    of King Brandegoris fell in love with him, and with the aid of a
    magic ring forced Bors into loving her.

    Sir Lamorak
    Lamorak was the son of King Pellinore
    and in some legends the brother of
    Percivale. He was one of the strongest
    Knights of the Round Table. Lamorak
    was the lover of Morgause, whose
    husband King Lot of Orkney had been
    killed by Lamorak's father, Pellinore.

    Sir Tristan (Tristram)


    Tristan, or Tristram in Old English, was a
    contemporary of King Arthur and a Knight of the
    Round Table. He was the nephew and champion
    of King Mark of Cornwall and the son of Meliodas,
    King of Lyoness. Tristan's mother died when he
    was born, and as a young man he took service
    with his uncle, Mark.
    Tristan became the champion of his uncle after
    defeating and killing Marhaus of Ireland in a duel.
    That defeat led to a truce with King Anguish of
    Ireland and he arranged for his daughter, Iseult to be married to King Mark. It
    was Tristan who was sent to Ireland to fetch the would be Queen. While in
    the process of bringing her back to Cornwall, Tristan and Iseult fell helplessly
    in love with one another. Therefore, they fled from Mark and lived the rest of
    their days on the run.

    Sir Percivale
    Percivale was raised by his mother in
    ignorance of arms and courtesy. Percivale's
    natural prowess, however, led him to
    Arthur's court where he immediately set off
    in pursuit of a knight who had offended
    Guinevere. Percivale is the Grail knight or
    one of the Grail knights in numerous
    medieval and modern stories of the Grail quest. Percivale first
    appears in Chrtien de Troyes's unfinished Percivale or Conte del
    Graal (c.1190). The incomplete story prompted a series of
    "continuations," in the third of which (c. 1230), by an author
    named Manessier, Percivale achieves the Grail. (An analogue to
    Chrtien's tale is found in the thirteenth-century Welsh romance
    Peredur.)

    Life of King Arthur

    Arthur was the first


    born son of King Uther
    Pendragon and heir to
    the throne. However
    these were
    very troubled
    times and Merlin, a
    wise magician,
    advised that the baby
    Arthur should be
    raised in a secret
    place and that none should know his true identity.
    As Merlin feared, when King Uther died there was great conflict
    over who should be the next king. Merlin used his magic to set a
    sword in a stone. Written on the sword, in letters of gold, were
    these words: "Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone is the
    rightwise born king of all England." Of course all the contenders
    for the throne took their turn at trying to draw the sword, but
    none could succeed. Arthur, quite by chance, withdrew the sword
    for another to use in a tournament. Following this he became
    King.
    He gathered Knights around him and fought back against the
    Saxons who, since the Romans left Britain, were slowly but surely
    taking the country over. After many great battles and a huge

    victory at Mount Badon the Saxons' advance was halted.


    Arthur's base was at a place called Camelot. Here he built a
    strong castle. His knights met at a Round Table. They carried out
    acts of chivalry such as rescuing damsels in distress and fought
    against strange beasts. They also searched for a lost treasure,
    which they believed would cure all ills - this was the 'Quest for the
    Holy Grail'.
    Under the guidance of Merlin, Arthur had obtained a magical
    sword from The Lady Of The Lake. This sword was called
    'Excalibur" and with this weapon he vanquished many foes.
    Queen Guinevere, Arthur's beautiful wife brought romance to the
    story while his equally beautiful half sister Morgan le Fay added a
    dark side.
    Unfortunately, as peace settled over the country things turned
    sour within the court of Camelot and civil war broke out. In the
    final battle at Camlan both Arthur and Mordred, Arthur's traitorous
    nephew, were mortally wounded. Arthur was set upon a boat and
    floated down river to the isle of Avalon. Here his wounds were
    treated by three mysterious maidens. His body was never found
    and many say that he rests under a hill with all his knights - ready
    to ride forth and save the country again.
