"The attack on pearl harbor and its immediate effects";Suggestions for thesis

I have to write an essay on "the attack on pearl harbor and its immediate effects"

The problem is: I have no idea what to write for a thesis!

I just need a push and then I can manage writing myself.

Thanks!

Greetings!

As you have discovered, getting started is the hardest part! Here is a suggestion:

On December 7, 1941, the United States was transformed in a matter of minutes from a "sleeping giant" to a roaring lion. The attack on Pearl Harbor created an immediate shift in U.S. foreign policy, catapulting the country into a war it had been attempting to avoid for years. Suddenly, isolationism was no longer an option. America's response ushered in a new era of world leadership and dominance, where the best defense was a proactive offense.

You'll want to check the facts on this, but I think you'll find that World War II was the beginning of a much more dominant sort of foreign policy for the U.S.

I hope this helps get you started!

Thanks,
