dok 3: what might admiral yamamoto have been suggesting with his quote about awakening a \sleeping giant\ after the attack on pearl harbor?
image of isoroku yamamoto with quote: i fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.
options:
a that japan was a giant and would win the war quickly after pearl harbor
b that the u.s. had a large population, many natural resources, and would be determined to get revenge after pearl harbor
c that japan was filled with resolve to defeat the united states

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Japan was not the "sleeping giant" here; the U.S. was, so this is incorrect.
• Option b: The U.S. had large population, resources, and after Pearl Harbor, would be determined to retaliate. This matches the idea of awakening a giant (U.S.) with terrible resolve (revenge/determination to win).
• Option c: The quote is about the U.S., not Japan's resolve to defeat the U.S., so this is incorrect.

Answer:

b. That the U.S. had a large population, many natural resources, and would be determined to get revenge after Pearl Harbor
