No, I don't think it is a minority. It wasn't all that long ago i was in High School (and my Youngest sister still is). You know how i know? If Pearl harbor is such an important date, why did it happen? My guess is that the majority of young people you ask won't be able to give you an answer. You'd think that the reason we entered a WORLD WAR is important. But its not.
The reason for why things happen tend to be complex. It is hard to teach complex things. How far back would you need to go to give people a background for discussing why Pearl Harbor happened. The Mejii Restoration of 1868? The Spanish-American war of 1898?
