War Pacific Outline

It was August 6, 1945 when the first ever atomic bomb dropped on the city of Hiroshima in Japan. Three days later, another was dropped on the city of Nagasaki, Japan, leading to the surrender of Japan in World War II. The surrender wouldn't have occurred so soon if it hadn't been for President Harry Truman’s decision to use the first ever nuclear attack on another nation. His decision had changed history and the way the world worked, now meaning that nuclear power was out there at the disposal of the United States for them to use whenever they saw fit. The decision that Truman had to make was extremely difficult decision, as he was faced with a huge ethical dilemma: whether or not to kill entire cities, in order to save millions of American

Okinawa, Japan was the site of the largest amphibious battle of World War II. The Battle of Okinawa resulted in the death of over 12,000 American and 100,000 Japanese soldiers, which lasted from late March through June 1945. The Battle of Okinawa was one of the main reasons President Harry Truman dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The main reason for the bombing was to put a stop to the American death toll. Approximately two months later on August 6, 1945, the massive nuclear weapon was dropped over Hiroshima, Japan. The bomb destroyed about four square miles of the city and also caused the death of 65,000 Japanese citizens. Because of this bombing, the Japanese government surrendered a week later.

Before the United States dropped the bomb, they allowed Japan a chance to surrender. On July 26, 1945, the allies issued the Potsdam Declaration. This treaty was meant to make Japan surrender without a war. This was a warning that Japan will undergo harsh and utter destruction if they refused the declaration. Two days later Japan stated that they were going to ignore the Potsdam Declaration (“Was the Atomic Bombing”).

In the late July of 1945, Japan’s Militarist government refused the demand for surrender that was put forth in the Potsdam Declaration by the Allied forces. General MacArthur, along with other top military commanders, agreed to continue the bombing of Japan that was already in effect, followed up with an invasion, which was codenamed “Operation Downfall”. President Harry Truman was advised that such a massive invasion will cause the U.S to lose up to one million soldiers. To avoid the risk, President Truman decided to use the bomb to end the

should have had more patience with Japan rather than dropping the bombs so sudden. When the bomb was dropped, many Japanese people were killed, buried alive, critically burned, and severely injured (Michiko, “800 Meters”). The importance of this article was that many people were decapitated from their bodies and many Japanese were very deprived in money, they could not receive the proper medical treatments for their injuries at that time. The use of the bomb was more to scare Russia. In Truman’s diary, it stated that he told Stalin that he has a new weapon that was a destructive force (Barnes, www.bit.ly/2zL4iFd). During that time, Truman had a deep hatred towards Stalin. Therefore he was bragging to him about this “new weapon” because the U.S. went being their back and the USSR could not play a role in the war. Truman was not thinking about the effects towards the Japanese at that

On August 6, 1945, the United States become the first ever and only nation to use atomic weapons during wartime when it drop an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Shortly after three days, another atomic bomb was drop on Nagasaki causing thousand of deaths in total. It was a horrific event in the history, even today's there still debates over whether President Truman decision was correct or not. Though dropping the atomic bomb ended World War II, many historians think  that it also started the Cold War.

August 6th 1945, the United States dropped the first of two atomic bombs on Hiroshima, Japan. World War Two was practically over, but Japan and the United States weren’t getting along due to Japan bombing Pearl Harbor. The President of the United States (Truman) and U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill Issued the Potsdam Declaration which was the declaration that was put on the table for Japan after Germany had surrendered. Earlier in the war we had been putting together atomic weapons in case the war was getting out of hand. Since Japan wouldn’t surrender after the Potsdam we dropped the 1st bomb. Japan had still not surrendered so we dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. There was a combined total of casualties after the 1st bomb of 140,000. The second bomb totaled out to 120,000 casualties. Dropping these bombs helped the United States win the war. In my Opinion, the decision to drop both bombs on Japan was the best alternative the United States had to remain stable and to hold military lives.

July 16, 1945, an experimental bomb was dropped from a one hundred foot tower at Trinity Site near Alamogordo, New Mexico. After a few seconds, a light flashed so bright it could be seen from two hundred miles away. The explosion created a forty thousand foot mushroom cloud with the force to blow out windows a hundred miles away and left a crater half a mile wide full of sand that had been turned to glass (ushistory.org). The first atomic bomb had been set off and it demonstrated its enormous power. A power that was currently only held by America. When word reached President Truman, he was left with the hardest decision of his life, but it was not made by him alone. The decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan to end World War II was decided

On August 6th, 1945 history was made when President Harry S. Truman made the decision to drop an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, then three days later on the city of Nagasaki, Japan. Those two bombs were the first nuclear weapons to ever be used, and still remain the only ones to this day. To some people it was what ended the war, but to others it was an unjustful killing of an estimated 246,000 people. Truman's decision continues to be one of the most controversial topics of all time.

On August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, killing 80,000 people. Nagasaki was bombed three days later on August 9, causing 2.9 square miles of destruction (History). This devastating bomb was used to quickly and efficiently end the war in the Pacific. It had worked because

In early August 1945 atomic bombs were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These two bombs quickly caused Japan to surrender and the end of American involvement in World War II. Hiroshima had been almost completely destroyed with around 80 thousand people killed. Since Japan was economically and militarily devastated in 1945, the use of the atomic bombs brought about a conclusion to the war in the pacific, and also led to many problems and the destruction of much of the cities, and their populations. The dropping of the atomic bomb was an important event in history, ending World War II.

On December 7, 1941 we experienced a harmful attack on Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt ordered to declare war on Japan on the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. FDR predicted over 1.5million death's if the allies had to invade Japan. August 7, 1942 war on the pacific begins the allied and axis powers start to attack each other. The Japenese believed they were pushed into a corner by Roosevelt that caused them to attack us. The Japenese were falling rapidly and getting defeat which caused us to gain progress. President Truman knew we needed something powerful to do on the Japenese. So on August 3, 1945 president Truman declared to use the bomb anytime soon. So on a clear morning on August 6, 1945 the atomic bomb was

On August 6, 1945 the United States dropped an atomic bomb named Little Boy on Hiroshima Japan. The approximate death toll was 200,000 people. Then three days later they dropped a second called Fat Man on Nagasaki Japan. The approximate death toll was 140,000 people. This was the first time in history that nuclear weapons were used in war. The United States reasonings for dropping the atomic bombs were that we wanted to force the Japanese to surrender so it would minimize american deaths, The US also needed to use the atomic bomb before the Soviet Union joined the war against Japan to create US dominance after, and finally the US wanted to use the first atomic bomb

The United States atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was the only time atomic bombs were used in war, and had a severe impact on the final outcome of World War II. It involved the forces of the United States and Japan battling each other in many different cities of Japan. The bombings took place on August 6, 1945, and August 9, 1945. Eleven United States troops were aboard the Enola Gay when the atomic bombs were dropped. About one hundred and forty thousand people died from the first atomic bomb and about eighty thousand died from the second bombing (Parker, 231). The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had a large impact on the outcome of World War II by ending the war in Japan. The two atomic bombs dropped during World War

In 1945, the U.S bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan and became the first and only country to ever use atomic weapon during wartime. It had been almost 4 years since World War II started, most of the Axis Powers surrendered to the Allies but not Japan. Japan didn’t want to admit defeat. Instead, they'd rather die and President Truman of the United States of America wanted to end this war quickly. There were many reasons leading to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki including the need to force Japan to surrender, to have the Soviets declare war on Japan, to use atomic weapon before the Soviets, and observe the effects of the weapons.
