our world (Benson, 1720). WWII started with three countries called the three axis of evil and their persistent motivation for world dominance. These three countries were Japan, Germany, and Italy (Benson, 1720). The United States was at first a bystander in WWII and it was until Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii did the United States take action. Japan bombed Pearl in order to seek domination over the country. The United States got retribution by dropping two atomic bombs on Japan’s two most popular
alliances in the WWII, the Axis and Anti-fascist Alliance. The winner of the WWII was Allies, and there are many reasons that can explain why Allies can win it. The most important reason is that Allies gained most support from the public and citizens because Allies represented the justice side. However, there is also a crucial factor that helps the Allies to win the WWII which is the new invention and technology. Inventors made new weapons such as tanks, proximity fuses and atom bomb. The impacts of
decision to drop the bomb was purely military. Truman believed that the bombs saved Japanese lives as well. Prolonging the war was not an option for the President,” (ushistory.org 1). President Truman and the United States government made a fair decision by dropping the atomic bomb on the Japanese citizens in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during 1945. The bomb allowed the United States to appear more powerful and led to them influencing the rest of the world. The dropping of the atomic bomb was also a just
first atomic bomb over Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Once the United States dropped the atomic bomb there has been a lot of comments whether or not it was the right move to do. I believe that it was justified for the United States to drop the atomic bomb on Japan however, it did have some cons to it. The reason behind dropping the first atomic bomb was to stop the war. Although it roughly killed around 60,00 people in Hiroshima and 35,000 in Nagasaki. If they didn’t drop that bomb the war
This was all because of the atomic bombs dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But what if I told you that it was necessary to drop these bombs. That the consequences would’ve been far worse if the U.S. decided to invade Japan. The United States of America was right to drop the A-bombs because it prevented more death from both sides, allowed the U.S. to become a superpower following WWII, and the act ended the war earlier. The dropping of the atomic bombs saved the lives of many people
The Atomic Bomb in Japan President Truman, decision over booming Japan is a significant period of time that molds the United States. The crucial decision that was made on August of 1945, brought World War II to an end. While bringing the WWII to an end, it attracted a lot of debates over the use of the atomic bombs in the war. Even though the WWII has ended decades ago debates still lingers to this point. Having people in both sides of the debates, makes people wonder if the use of the first atomic
anger flowed throughout the entire world during World War II, a fight between the Axis and Allied powers that proved to be the cruelest and most inhumane wars ever fought. Over thirty countries participated in the raging conflict from 1939 to 1945 that killed over fifty million soldiers and civilians. Not only did this war kill millions of people all over the world in the Pacific and European theaters, it also introduced the creation of the deadly atomic bomb. The creation of the new weapon of mass
cries spread through the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as the atomic bombs were dropped. Thousands of people were killed instantly, with the rest left critically injured. Eventually, it was measured that 135,000 people were killed as a result of these bombs. We know that many people were killed. But how and why were the atomic bombs created? Who decided to use them? These questions all contribute to the fact that the atomic bombs impacted the world greatly. It all started when World War II began
energy to produce a bomb that would cause total destruction. Albert Einstein, who fled Nazi Germany and fled to United States, informed President Roosevelt about the capability of splitting atoms. Along with Einstein fellow scientist Fermi convinced Roosevelt to develop an atomic research program. In 1941 United Stated begin to design and build the atomic bomb which coded the Manhattan project. In 1942 Fermi had produced nuclear chain reaction. The development of the atomic bomb took place in Los Alamos
Boeing WWII Bombers During WWII Boeing made two bombers, “B-17 Flying Fortress” and “B-29 Flying Fortress.” During WWII, when the nazi’s started to take over countries around Germany, the allies had an idea to use the B-17 bombers to bomb out the factories that were built throughout Germany. By doing this the nazis became weaker, and it handed the allies a chance to start attacking germany on all sides. After Hitler went down in defeat, Japan sent fighter-bombers over to Hawaii and bombed them out
