The pentagon

The world knows America as a superpower because of its military powers. The United States of America has the best defence system in the entire world, and you’ll be surprised to know that all the military strategies are planned inside a pentagon. Yes, you heard it right; the pentagon is a massive pentagon-shaped building built especially for defence purposes. The idea to build a war department was passed in 1941. At that time, the department was operating from 17 different buildings in Washington. Today we will take you inside the power point of the USA, the pentagon.

A change of plan- Pearl harbour
The pentagon was in process, and 13,000 people were working day and night to bring the vision to life, but then the pearl harbour was bombed by the Japanese. The initial plan was to build a three-story building, but the project was altered to construct a 5-story building. As the military was preparing to attack, constructors decided to reduce steel usage; so instead of elevators, they built steel ramps and used concrete to build walls.
