Was America justified in dropping the atom bomb on Hiroshima in August 1945? The Atomic bomb was dropped on 6th August 1945 on Hiroshima and on 9th August on Nagasaki, Japan by the order president of America, Harry S. Truman. These two events are the only use of nuclear weapons in history up to date. In most of Europe war had ended, but in Asia, Japan were still resisting. With the recent surprise attack on Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), America was thinking on launching a full scale invasion
Why The Jews Were Justified Today in the Middle East there is a lot of war and conflict. One of the disagreements is on whether or not there should be the State of Israel. Back in 1948, occupants of Israel and Palestine debated if the Jews were justified to create a country (Israel). Although many people, including both Arabs and Jews, argued against forming a country, the Jews were justified in their decision to create the State of Israel because they had religious ties to the land, after many
Although some people may say that the Americans cannot be justified for breaking away from Great Britain, but the Americans can be justified for waging war and breaking away from Great Britain because Great Britain used the colonists for it’s own gain, war was inevitable for them, and when the colonists wanted change they got hurt. The Americans can be justified for waging war and breaking from Great Britain because Britain used the colonists only for the individual gain of Britain. Britain’s only
In August 1945, the Second World War had almost come to an end. The enemy forces in Europe (Germany and Italy) were defeated, and now the allies aimed to overthrow the enemy in the Pacific: Japan. But Japan had a very different war culture than Germany or Italy, for Japan, death came before surrender, as an old Japanese tradition stated, the so-called code of honor. Knowing this, the US only had a few choices left to defeat Japan without mass casualties on both sides. One of the main options was
history and to answer a question that I have been asked many times, “Was the American Civil War justified?” My role in the American Civil War was to serve as the U.S. general officer during the war. The American Civil War started in 1861 and lasted until 1865, and I later died in 1885. I believe that the American Civil War was justified because I was very much against slavery, and I feel like if the American Civil War never happened then there would still be slavery in the United States today. I, George
or not. At first you and the Allies put out a demand for an immediate unconditional surrender, but Japan had refused. So since Japan had refused, you made a hard decision to drop the atomic bomb and put an end to the long four years of war with Japan. I understand why you strongly want to drop the bomb; however, for my sincere advice to you, I strongly suggest you don’t. Dropping to atomic bomb on Japan can lead to many disadvantages. For instance, when other countries realize that America had help
After World War 2 there were two countries of power left, Soviet Union and the United States, each country had a different view on government and economics which caused conflict between the two countries. United States was a capitalist country, and the Soviet Union was a communist country. The expansion of the Soviet Union converted many countries to convert to communism and for proxy wars to emerge with each superpower funneling firepower and resources to their allie. The United States maintaining
b. The colonists were justified in separating from Great Britain because of many reasons. One reason was that Great Britain was unfairly taxing the colonies. This action caused an uproar with the colonists. Although the high tax originated from the war debt, the Parliament taxed the colonists without representation. The colonists did not have a say, and this is what had angered them. An example of the Parliament's attempt to offset the war debt was when they passed the Townshend Acts. Taxes on luxury
government had the right to use any means available to protect its citizens all over the world. The government was also provoked by elements that were supported by other governments or larger organizations and had to take war to these governments to get rid of them. In addition, this was war, innocent lives were lost after the attacks, and the U.S had the moral obligation to revenge on behalf of the victims. Horgan argues that if the US did not take the stringent measures after the attacks, more people
killed from 1939 to 1945 during the events of the Second World War. It has since then been referred to as one of the largest and most terrible wars in all of human history, having had participants from many corners of the world. I strongly believe that only a small fraction of all of the deaths and injustices that occurred during and prior to WWII should be attributed to the Allies, not only because they were justified in fighting in the war, but also because of the countless crimes committed by Germany
