Pros And Cons Of The Second World War
During the Second World War, wars were happened every day. In these time, millions of people dead because the war. The militarism in Japan was popular and the militants were the leaders in Japan. They were supported to continue fighting before Japan be the winner in the war no matter how. So that they not concerned about the soldiers life and the soldiers also glad to die in order to the Tenno. They were using suicide attack. In this case, US was lost many armies and navies. This was hard conditions for US to against Japan in the Second World War. If US did not used the nuclear weapons to attack Japan. I do think Japan will continue the war, maybe increase violent level of their attack. It will cause more people die. US’s government in order to protect their people and end the war as soon as possible, using nuclear weapons was unavoidable. …show more content…
But in my view, even the US knew nuclear weapons have the long-term influence in human health, US will continue to use it. First, US’s government will try to hide the fact and using the nuclear weapon and pretend to be innocent. So that they can use the nuclear weapon seem reasonable. On the other hand, during the Second World War, most of the people want to end the war and return to peaceful life. The nuclear weapon is a way to achieve this target. Moreover, in that time Japan was on another side and some people were hate Japanese, especially China. Therefore, they not consider the negative influence in the Japanese. Some may glad to see Japanese destroyed by others because they want to

    In President Harry Truman speech to inform his citizens on how he was going to end WWII, he said the U.S. “shall destroy their docks, their factories, and their communications. Let there be no mistake; we shall completely destroy Japan’s power to make war” (Harry Truman). The U.S. made it very clear that their main goal was to force Japan to surrender and that they would stop at nothing to make that happen. Evidently, even using the world’s first nuclear weapons in war did not limit the United States. After the destruction and devastation the bombs had caused, Japanese officials had no other choice but to unconditionally surrender, and announce an end to the war. Though there is still a debate today about whether the bomb was necessary to end…

    “We are in possession of the most destructive explosive ever devised by man” stated Leaflet B dropped on August 6th, 1945. Since the United States knew how destructive the bomb was, they should have not used it in the first place. Not only was japan in danger but Leo Szilard and 69 co-signers at the Manhattan Project stated “ the cities of the United States as well as the cities of other nations will be in continuous danger of sudden annihilation.” Most people working on the project for two and a half years did not even know what they were working on or hiding from the American public. Though, Japan killed and injured many Americans, the U.S. killed more people and left Japan with high levels of radiation for many years after the bomb was dropped. In conclusion, the United States was not in any way justified for the decision of dropping the atomic…

    DBQ Atomic Bomb

    Although there were attempts at peace, Japan showed no signs of agreement towards a peaceful and unconditional surrender. Japan’s reluctance to stop fighting could have left to months more of fighting and thousands of more deaths. The atomic bomb ensured an enormous display that could quickly end the war. As Cuhrchill proclaimed, “the end of the Japanese war no longer depended upon the pouring in of their armies for the final and perhaps protracted slaughter… this nightmare picture [has] vanished… in its place the vision of the end of the whole war in one or two violent shocks” (Doc E). Churchill summed up the gist of America’s reasoning for implementing the bombs. The United States did not have to depend on the slaughter of millions of people in bloody, messy fights, and , instead, “a speedy end to the Second World War” could be reached with one machine (Doc E). However, once the first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, the Japanese continued to resist. It wasn’t until a second bomb was dropped that Japan surrendered with a simple stipulation that their emperor remain in his position. This alone proves the military necessity of the bombs. Despite the attack on Hiroshima, Japanese still wished to continue their war. If not for the second bomb, who know how many lives would have been lost.…

    The atomic bomb shouldn’t have been used in World War 2 to defeat Japan. America could have used other alternatives then the deadly atomic bomb. President Truman should of waited a few more weeks for russia to declare war on Japan. The thought of invasion by both of America and Russia probably had an even more scared effect on the Japanese government then the Atomic Bombs. America could of also continue the conventional bombings and blockade.…

    With Japan’s relentlessness, it was unclear how many more lives would be lost and how many more months the battle would be fought. The use of the atomic bomb on Japan was indeed necessary due to Japan’s unwillingness to surrender, the fear of more American lives being lost, and the prior existence and investment in America’s…

    For this reason, it was a good strategy to use the atomic bomb. On the other hand, it could be argued that it wasn’t necessary. Some say that it was coming to an end anyways because of how weak Japan was compared to the US, who had just took out most of their Islands in the…

    Perhaps and this is a hypothetical conjecture but it has to be remembered there was intense scientific interest in nuclear power and destruction. All the military powers had held investigations and Germany came very close to developing this capacity. The USA through the top secret ‘Manhattan Project’ developed this weapon and it was so secret that when President Roosevelt died in office his successor (Harry Truman) only became aware of the project then. Then arose the problem of the Soviet Union entering the war against Japan on the 8th of August 1995 [5], the Soviets were quickly becoming a super power. The alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union during World War II developed out of necessity, and out of a shared realisation that each country needed the other to defeat Germany and the Axis. They had the common goal of defeating fascism but as that goal was achieved the Soviet Union and USA had no uniting cause. There had already been small amounts of tension with Soviet soldiers working alongside American soldiers in the war and now there large attack on Japan threatened the world with more communism which Americans disliked. So, a new president and the new problem of an emerging super power of the Soviet Union entering the war in Asia could have been a catalyst to use atomic weapons. Not only did it conclude the war but it also demonstrated to the Soviets the USA’s…

    The Japanese also kept taking countries and island by force which was also killing people. The U.S. was done with Japan and they needed to learn a lesson. Months before Truman dropped the bomb, he would have fire planes drop fire bombs on factories and cities. The planes would drop bombs and within thirty minutes the resulting fires were out of control and it wasn’t good that on that day the wind speeds were 40 mph. The air was so hot from the flames that it would boil all the city’s water. The heat was recorded to be about 1,800 degrees F. This would keep going on for three more hours. After the bombing a official Japanese count reported nearly 84,000 killed, 41,000 injured and over 250,000 buildings and homes…

    In 1947, the United States was put in a difficult position. While the Japanese emperor did not want to lose his position, or lose honor, they could either fight until the last man stands or find another way. With the creation of an atomic bomb becoming more and more feasible, with the help of Mr. Einstein, it seemed like a great idea. But, there were many things they didn’t think about when they jumped to the idea of dropping the bomb; some were Japan’s surrender and the future of the civilians. The bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima was not necessary.…

    The aftermath of dropping the two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused more than just ending the war between Japan and the United States for example the day after the Soviet Union declared war on Japan we used the second bomb to set an example to the Soviet Union and everyone else that was paying attention to the war. The success of the Manhattan Project showed the United States how coming together with natural resources and funding to the program can accomplish impossible feats. The use of nuclear weapons in combat started the nuclear age and now that other countries know that he United States has the power of making atomic bombs the countries would need to develop their own programs in order to have some bombs in order to get on the same level or possibly a higher level than the United States. “After the end of World War II congress decided to establish the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)” (Osti.gov 28) They decided to establish this program for the sole purpose to further establish the atomic energy studies the…

    US also wanted to show off the power that they had. They knew just how powerful and how much damage it was going to cause, but they took the chance. Before the bomb decision was made, an “Allied demand for an immediate unconditional surrender” (ushistory.org, The decision to drop the bomb) Japan declined that request but they gave out their interest and a conditional interest. Now, US their main goal was to end the war quickly without all the bloodshed. Ironic right?…

    During the late nineteen-thirties war had come to multiple countries, causing the Second World War. Numerous people lost their lives, friends, and even family members, which contributed to many Americans feeling unguilted about the atomic bomb. When the United States made the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan, there were mixed feelings over the morality of using it to end our war, but an overall sense of relief to bring the war to an end after such exhausting years.…

    Should we continue to fight, it would not only result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization". President Harry Truman made a difficult discison and the day the first atomic bomb was dropped Philosophers, Historians, and many other scholars have had the debate: Was using the atomic bomb on human beings justified? I think it was indeed justified and justified on different levels. It prevented a land invasion of japan witch would cost massive toll on American soldiers, the soldiers were already been at war for two long violent years with million's killed and injured and japanese were not to friendly to American POW's there was a hatred built up for the japanese people during this time from military. it was a violent time a much different time then today.

    Admittedly, dropping the atomic bomb was a major factor in Japan's decision to accept the terms laid out at the Potsdam agreement otherwise known as unconditional surrender. Their casualties in defending the doomed island of Okinawa were a staggering 110,000 and the naval blockade that the allies had enforced whittled trade down to almost nothing (Document A). Americans had hit some 60 Japanese cities with out High Explosives and incendiary bombs (Document B). Japan was quickly on the path to destruction. Of course, the Allies ignored this for the reason that dropping the atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would intimidate Russia. Had they truly been considering saving more lives and bringing a quick end to the war in Japan, they would have simply waited them out without the major loss of life seen at both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.…

    The decision to deploy the atomic weapon was largely due to the fact that it would save the lives of American troops. Woodrow Wilson had been hailed as the man who kept the US out of a bloody First World War. US foreign policy of limiting casualties from war by whatever means necessary still exists in US foreign policy today, as it had back when Truman decided to deploy the atomic bomb. It is hard to measure the number of casualties for a war or an invasion that never occurred and the Pacific War in particular because of the fact that the Japanese were so fervent to fight until the last man, woman and…
