Summary
| Description |
On 8 December 1941 New Zealand declared war on Japan New Zealand’s declaration followed the surprise attack on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the morning of Sunday 7 December (8 December New Zealand time). Japan also attacked Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand and Malaya. The capture of the key British base at Singapore in February 1942 would leave many New Zealanders feeling defenseless, and fearful of an imminent Japanese invasion. Shown above is a memorandum sent to the Minister of Defence outlining what was required of the defence force following the outbreak of war with Japan Archives Reference: AAYS 8638 AD1 1464/362/1/2 R22440624 Source: www.nzhistory.net.nz/new-zealand-declares-war-on-japan For updates on our On This Day series and news from Archives New Zealand, follow us on Twitter www.twitter.com/ArchivesNZ Material from Archives New Zealand |
