The Impact Of Haruki Murakami On The World War II

The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a turning point in WWII. They led to the surrender of the Japanese and the victory to the Allies. The day that the Japanese surrendered will forever be remembered. However, the destruction and casualties in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki cannot be forgotten. Hiroshima and Nagasaki experienced massive destruction, and it led to years of disease and misery for the Japanese people following the war. After WWII and the creation of the atomic bomb, the world lived in fear of a nuclear attack ("The Atomic Bombings"). George Orwell’s 1984 references to the atomic bomb and to the society and life after WWII. Nevertheless, one must fully know and understand the bombings and the destruction

Adolf Hitler is basically known for all the unpardonable things he has done. He drove Germany all through World War II. Hitler had amazing splendor; he was imaginative and keen. As a young man, his fantasy was to turn into a craftsman. Be that as it may, as he betrayed non-Aryans, the likelihood of him turning into a craftsman gradually floated from his psyche. Initially, he needed to turn into a craftsman, yet because of him not getting into Art school and the passing of his mom, his fantasies changed totally over the long haul.

Adolf Hitler was one of the most influential people in the interwar era. His actions during the interwar era caused World War II, which had enormous impacts on almost every country in the world. There are three reasons why he gained so much influence in Germany. First of all people were disappointed in the current German government and wanted a change. Secondly, Hitler and his Nazi party were similar in ideology to the majority of people and finally he was a great orator who used his similarity to the rest of the German people to help his party grow and to help himself become dictator.

The fatal atomic bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the end of World War II are written down in history books today. This is because they had a drastic story behind them that changed the world and the lives of many civilians. The United States decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II had both positive and negative results.

The release of two atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945 helped end World War II. However, it had unintended consequences. It caused the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Although WW II ended over 50 years ago there is still much discussion as to the events which ended the War in the Pacific. The primary event which historians attribute to this end are the use of atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Although the bombing of these cities did force the Japanese to surrender, many people today ask "Was the use of the atomic bomb necessary to end the war?" and more importantly "Why was the decision to use the bomb made?" Ronald Takaki examines these questions in his book Hiroshima.

World War II was fought between two main opposing forces, the Allies and the Axis forces. The Axis powers consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan being the most dominant. On the other hand, some of the countries in the Allied powers were Great Britain, the United States, France, Australia, New Zealand, India, the Soviet Union, Canada, and Greece.

On the other hand, Japan was ready to call it quits anyway. More than 60 of its cities had been destroyed by conventional bombing, the home islands were being blockaded by the American Navy, and the Soviet Union entered the war by attacking Japanese troops in Manchuria. A demonstration explosion over Tokyo harbor would have convinced Japan 's leaders to quit without killing many people. But what President Truman could’ve come up with better than this which led to killing many Japanese’s civilizations. Civilian losses were great as a result of not only the Holocaust in Europe and the genocidal policies of Japan toward China but also the extensive bombing of cities. The United States, the only major power not to sustain physical damage after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, emerged from the war an economic and military superpower. The war also spurred decolonization, gave birth to the United Nations, and, through various agreements between the Soviet Union and the other Allies, set the stage for the Cold War (American Short Stories). The Japanese had demonstrated near fanatical resistance, fighting to almost the last man on

Double Victory: Multicultural History of America in World War 11”, is a book written by Ronald Takaki was published in the early 2000s. Double Victory shows the wartime responses from many ethnic backgrounds as well as the war at home against racism and the war abroad against fascism. Takaki also shows the roles of; African-Americans, Native-Americans, Mexican-Americans, and Asian-Americans, during the war and the sacrifices made for their country. In Double Victory, Takaki introduces different revisionist arguments that I will be discussing in this essay along with the connection it has to previous knowledge of the World War II era, and the relation it has to the understanding of the expansion and contraction of citizenship and equality throughout history.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki altered the course of world events by starting the Cold War, ushering advancements in technology, and by influencing cultures worldwide. Occurring on August 6 and August 9 in 1945, the bombing of the cities set of a series of events that would forever change history. The United States and the Soviet Union emerged from the war as superpowers with seemingly limitless power. Their ideologies, however, contrasted greatly, and the once allied nations would turn against each other, setting the entire world into a period of uncertainty. The atomic bomb, alone, would influence countless decisions, technologies, and policies in the following years and strike fear and awe into many around the world.

But the United States was successful and dropped two bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The dropping of the atomic bomb cause Japan to surrender and needed the Second World War. Japan was forced to both alter and weaken its territory. And adopt a western constitution.

The Japanese where not going to surrender and the Americans did not want to give up on this war either. America decided the only way to end the war and make the Japanese surrender, was to go to extreme lengths. A B-29 atomic bomb was dropped over the Japanese city, Hiroshima. This was the world’s first atomic bomb and the world was very surprised about the damage that it made. This explosion wiped out 90% of the city and immediately killed 80,000 people. Tens of thousands then died later from radiation exposure. This wakeup call still didn’t get the Japanese to surrender. So, America dropped another atomic bomb, this time in Nagasaki. This then ended in more people dying, roughly about 40,000 on top of the already killed 80,000. After these two attacks, Japanese Emperor announced that they had

The war ended very abruptly for the Japanese as America drop the worlds’ first atomic bomb. This atomic bomb decimated the city of Hiroshima. The bomb left a huge crater in the ground. It was so hot and bright that it left rocks super red and scorching. The worst part about the bomb was the death toll. Hundreds of thousands of people died from the bomb being released. If you did not die from the blast, you died from the radiation given off by the bomb. People standing closest to the bomb very vaporized by it and there shadows were left in the way that they died. Two days after the bomb was dropped Japan surrendered and the war was over. The controversy over the bomb being dropped affected the Americans due to the number of innocent people died in Japan that day and the after effects of years to

Two of the most apparent external influences for Japan to enter into World War Two would have to the opening of japan to trade from Commodore Perry, and economic and trade sanctions imposed by the United States thereafter. On July 8, 1853, Commodore Perry arrived in Tokyo bay with regards to re-establish commerce with Japan that had been non-existent in 200 years. In reading “Breaking Open Japan” Feifer said “Japan had long been open to new ideas from abroad” (Fiefer 17). The United States were particularly interested in commercial trade with Japan. First and foremost was the opening of Pacific ports in American control, the annexation of California, and the opening of trade with Chinese ports. In creating an American port in California it created a stream of pacific shipping as well as the need to secure coaling stations on the Pacific trade route. Japan also contained large amounts of coal deposits thus increasing the interest from the United States since coal was the natural resource of the 19th century. Secondly the United States economic sanctions after the period of opening proved to be the nail in the coffin for U.S/Japanese relations.

“The world the American people had tried to exclude after the First World War could not forever be kept at bay.” (The Great Depression and World War II;Kennedy, David). World War II began in the year 1939 and lasted until 1945. (history.com,Pearl Harbor) Many of the issues that arose during the Second World War was initial baggage from the First World War. The Treaty of Versailles was the reason why the First World War ended between the Allied Powers and Germany. (history.com). During this time, the United States wanted as little involvement with Europe’s controversies. Meanwhile, the United States did not know at the time that Japan was a threat to our country because of unresolved issues prior to Pearl Harbor. (history.com). The common denominator between both of our countries in this era was that we were both in financial crises. (Gilder Legrman, Institure of American History) The United States was suffering from the Great Depression and Japan was in a financial crisis. One of the reasons that the United States was not in favor of Japan was because we did not support their attacks on China. “The United States allied with China when Japan declared war on China in 1937” (Office of The Historian). “The United States responded to the aggression with a battery of economic sanctions and trade embargoes” (Pearl Harbor and the road to war, history.com). Japan was upset
