My father's first wife was working for the newspaper in Honolulu then and he had already gone back to Seattle with his brother to return to working as electricians for their father in his business. However, when the planes struck Pearl Harbor she got on a ship and headed back to the U.S. and to my father because everyone knew then World War II had begun in the U.S. and in Japan and in Europe.
This changed everything and the U.S. went from being a pacifist isolationist nation to a nation at war from December 7th 1941 to 1945.
Then as a result of World war II the Marshall plan helped rebuild nations like Japan and Germany and England and others and then the United Nations was formed to try to get some agreements between nations to avoid a Third World War in the future.
