President Truman Had the Right to Drop the Atomic Bomb “On the morning of August 6, 1945, the American B-29 Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later another B-29, Bock’s Car, released one over Nagasaki. Both caused enormous casualties and physical destruction.” (Maddox 1). These disastrous events have weighted upon the American conscience ever since that day in history. Even though there are some people that disagree with the dropping of the atomic bomb

Americans had already taken some of the Japanese homeland, Okinawa approximately 300 miles south of Kyushu had been taken. At a joint war plans committee it was concluded that 46,000 Americans would die in the invasion of Kyushu and Honshu. The rate of wounded to fatalities was estimated to be 3 to 1, so 175,000 US casualties were not out of the question. However these early reports were rejected by George Marshall, the army’s chief of staff. Another estimate was put

Introduction December 7, 1941 marked an important date for the American involvement in World War II. “The attacking planes came in two waves; the first hit its target at 7:53 AM, the second at 8:55” (eyewitnesstohistory). It was the day that the United States declared war against Japan and got involved in World War II after Japanese planes bombed Pearl Harbor. “Behind them they left chaos, 2,403 dead, 188 destroyed planes and a crippled Pacific Fleet that included 8 damaged or destroyed battleships”

August 15, 1945, Japan announces its surrender to the Allies almost one week after being hit with two atomic bombs. On August 6, 1945 during World War II an American B-29 bomber dropped the world 's first deployed atomic bomb over the Japanese city Hiroshima, wiping out 90 percent of the city and killing 80,000 people immediately. Three days later a second B-29 dropped another atomic bomb on the Japanese city Nagasaki, killing around 40,000 people. (The Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki) The Hiroshima/Nagasaki

Japan 's supreme aspirations had been apparent from as right on time as 1931, when she attacked Manchuria. The vanquished region 's abundant assets were then used to supply Japan 's war machine. In March 1940 Japan began the steps towards war by establishing a Chinese puppet-government in Nanking.With its possession

Even though Okinawa is just four hours away from Central Japan, it does not look like a part of the country. The American dominance on the island cannot be overlooked at any point. Media has given most of the attention to the US military base in Okinawa, and since Japan has been permitted to keep defense forces for the past several years, the presence and need for American troops have become a questionable debate. Sexual harassment cases on the island have resulted in increased skepticism of the

they are one of the most advanced countries in the terms of technology and efficiency Japan does not consist of one single mass of land, but rather, it is made up of thousands of smaller islands. The four main islands are Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Honshu and are the largest islands in Japan. Considering that Japan is mainly made up of islands you would think that transportation through all of Japan requires a ship or boat of some kind; but if you knew the culture of Japan today, you would find that

America chose to drop atomic bombs on Japan, and this affected the war and the country in many ways. America was trying to stop the war and make Japan surrender. Atomic bombs, which are nuclear weapons, were dropped by the United States on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Atomic bombs terrify everyone today, but at that time, they were considered an indispensable step for an early end to the war with minimal human losses. Some people believed the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were

society is a culture that is highly resistant to change; a society that places a high value on each member’s conformity within highly structured layers of Japanese society. Japan is an island nation, consisting of the four large islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. Together they are approximately the size of Germany or the State of California, and it has a population of approximately 126 million people Japan has a large population in relation to its land mass and as a consequence most Japanese
