Russo Japanese War Pros And Cons

I believe that the decision made by the United States to bomb Japan was not thought through well enough and could have been approached differently. There were many possible alternatives to setting off the bombs that could have saved many innocent lives or at least lowered the death toll of Japan. One alternative that could have been more successful was if the United states had chosen to continue conventional bombing. There was a survey taken in Japan, called the Strategic Bombing Survey, that proved Japan was more than likely to surrender soon due to the pressure of the United States dropping continuous, conventional bombs (Arguments Against the Bomb: Argument #4.4). If truman had decided to wait and continue to use conventional bombing, the

They both had to accept the Western advisers intruding their countries to make technological advancements, but both kept their own cultures. Both Russia and Japan added to the growing sense of competition between the established Western power. Russia made changes after the Crimean War since they lose to the inferior Ottomans, British and French that had superior weapons of rifles, cannons and heavy equipment. The Crimean War in 1854-1856 demonstrated how far Russia had fallen behind the West so Tsar Alexander II that reform was needed.

This essay we will be discussing the pros and the cons of President Truman’s ethical decision to drop the bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. There were many people against dropping the bomb on Japan as well as people in favor of bombing. I believe that President Truman made the correct decision when bombing the country of Japan. President Truman had to make decisions based on what would be right for the people of the United States and what is also helpful to the United States military. There were many decisions that were deemed either ethical or unethical made by President Truman going into the dropping of the atomic bomb.

Imagine if people consider you guilty of sabotaging your country without a fair trial. Your home was searched against your will. And you were denied rights as straightforward as freedom of speech. That’s what the Japanese underwent during WWII. 120,000 Japanese Americans were taken from their homes and brought to concentration camps in remote locations that were in in harsh environments. That all happened because they were considered possible spies, sent from Japan. On December 7th, 1941, Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese military. War hysteria, failure of leadership, and preexisting racism was mostly why the reason why so many Japanese Americans were put into concentration camps. Our country was trying to balance common good with individual rights of the people. But, the common good was valued more than people’s during World War II. Most of the time, The United States government does a favorable job balancing people’s rights and the good of the nation. For example, we pay taxes to support our government, and the government protects us (ex: the police force) But during WWII, the US broke more than half the amendments in the bill of rights. Some of the major ones being the 4th amendment (search and seizure,) the 1st amendment (mainly freedom of speech) and the 6th amendment (right to a speedy and fair trial) Why, in the land of the free was a large amount of citizens denied basic constitutional rights for so long?

Even though the direct result of the Treaty of Portsmouth was that it brought an end to the Russo-Japanese war, there were many other consequences. Japan acquired the lands of Manchuria and Korea while Russia was able to keep a portion of Sakhalin Island. President Roosevelt not only won the Nobel Peace Prize for his action, but this started an international relationship between Japan and the United States. As both of their influences and beliefs spread through Asia, they both agreed to respect each other’s claimed territories and interests.

The dropping of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justifiable. The Emperor of Japan, Emperor hirohito would have never have accepted to surrender. Another reason is that Japan had killed a lot of people during Pearl Harbor. Overall the bombing’s actually saved both lives the Americans and Japanese due to the bombing of Japan it ended WW2 overall. In 1945, so that's when Japan leaders knew they were not going to win WW2.

Japan had a decisive victory over Russia; the Japanese could have given leniency to have a seamless transition to peace. The Japanese destroyed the Russian’s fleet at Port Author allowing their army to land on shore. Once the Japanese landed on shore and before advancing up the Korean Peninsula a message could have been sent to the Russian leaders to surrender the region to prevent further engagements (Kaigun by David C. Evans and Mark R. Peattie pg. 99). While preparing for the attack at Manchuria the Russians where open for a peaceful conversation.

At the turn of the century, Russia was the largest nation in Europe, both in terms of population and land area. It also had a powerful army and navy, which in addition to its vast territory made it almost unthinkable for any nation to attempt to wage a war against it. Why then had Russia not only been defeated, but suffered tremendous and uneven casualties compared to the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War? This loss, which later had dire consequences for the Russian empire, occurred because of inadequate preparation, poor leadership, and simply bad luck which plagued the Russian military forces in the Pacific.

The Second Sino-Japanese war began on July 7th, 1937 and ended on September 9th, 1945. It was a military conflict which was fought between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. As part of the struggle against fascism, Japan invaded China. It is clear that, due to the restriction of its natural resources, Japan tried to increase by robbing resources from other countries. Japan used the conquered Manchuria as a launching base for their troops. Manchuria was an enormous region that consisted of three provinces- Liaoning in the south, Jilin in the middle and Heilongjiang in the north. In 1905, when Japan defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese war, Russia, which used Manchuria for business and

While Japan had several significant, tactically decisive military victories throughout the war and had achieved several of their limited objectives, they failed to achieve all them. Most important (and injuring) to the Japanese, was that Russia was not forced to pay indemnity for the war. This was something that the Tsar Nicholas the II was vehemently against going into the negotiations (Warner, 531)

Japanese went and visited to Europe and the United States to find out more about technological and industrial developments in these world fairs they were holding. Japans strong desire for success provoked neighbors like China and Russia. The Russians had built the Trans-Siberian Railroad that sent Russian colonizers who contributed to Anti-Japanese groups in Korea. In the battle of Tsushima, the Japanese destroyed the Russian fleet who traveled halfway around the globe to be defeated in. Opening an era of Japanese domination in East Asian Politics, the victory was the first by a none – European nation over a European great power in the modern age (736).

The Russo-Japanese War The Russo Japanese war was a conflict between Russia and Japan in 1904-1905. The cause of the war was because Russia wanted to expand into Asia and ran into Japanese plans for gaining a foothold on Asia main land. In 1898 Russia leased Port Arthur from china, with the intention of making it into a great Asiatic port and the headquarters of Russian naval power in the pacific. Russia already had troops in Manchuria during the boxer rebellion in 1900, but Russia had to face the anglo-japanese alliance of 1902, which promised to leave Chinese territory. The promise was not kept and in June 1903 Japan proposed a mutual agreement recognising japans interest in Korea and
