Question 3 • CHS World Civilization

Which would likely be the least biased account of the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor?

Answer
A
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech following the attack
B
a Japanese news article published on December 8, 1941
C
a world history textbook’s account published in 2014
D
a radio announcer’s account from Pearl Harbor at the time of the attack

Explanation

A world history textbook published in 2014 could draw on records and accounts from multiple perspectives, with time to compare and evaluate them. Roosevelt’s speech, a Japanese news article published during the war, and a radio announcer’s live account were closer to the events and more likely to reflect a particular viewpoint or incomplete information. Therefore, the textbook account would likely be the least biased.
