Why Did Japan Attack Pearl Harbor

The Second World War started in 1939 's. In the beginning it was a war only in Europe, but as the time passed on, all world was getting involved in it. Some countries weren 't happy about their situation and one of them was Japan. In this essay I am going to discuss why Japanese attack the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Japan getting stronger, about atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was Truman right to drop it.

War in Pacific began when General Tojo, Chief Minister of Japan, on Sunday 7 December 1941 decided to attack Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii. USA was not at the war that time and no one was at the anti-aircraft guns. Meanwhile, 300 kilometers to the north, 183 Japanese fighter-bombers were taking off from aircraft-carriers.
huge air raids were launched on Japanese cities - in Tokyo in the raid 84,000 people died on 9 March 1945. But Japan still didn 't want to surrender. The obvious next move was to invade Japan, but Japanese fought to the last man and for US if they would try to take some action and land on Japan it could take Americans years to defeat them and it would cost hundreds of thousands lives. There was another option for Americans. Allied scientist, many of the refugees from Nazi Europe, had been working in the USA on the "Manhattan Project". Their task was to develop a bomb which used atomic fission to release huge amounts of energy in a single reaction. In July 1945 they exploded a test bomb in the New Mexico desert. The ball of fire rose 12,000 meters above the site. They had enough material for two more bombs. The US President, Harry S. Truman, ordered one to be used on Hiroshima. On 6 August 1945 a simple plane, the Enola Gay, dropped the bomb, timed to explode 570 above the ground. About 80,000 people were killed. The total number of deaths in Hiroshima was around 200,000 After this Truman wrote a statement:This source tells us what Harry S. Truman 's fateful words after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. This source proves us that Truman wanted to use this bomb in my opinion, because of the attack in Pearl Harbor and the loss of Japan 's The Battle of Midway Japan still didn 't want to surrender and because of
Lots of people died for a war actually which wasn 't needed, but on the other hand this saved also lots of lives because if the bomb would not be dropped millions of civilians might have died in the war with Japan and America. This atom was more destructive than any before in History. Ninety-five percent of the people within 800 metres of bomb died at one and so did many more further. People simply evaporated at the temperature which was calculate to 6000Cº. Others were killed by burning or collapsing the buildings. There were other diseases like diarrhea and leukemia were increased over the territory of Japan. In the ten years after1945, 60,000 more people died from Radiation sickness. However US scientist didn 't know what the long effects of bomb will be. This shows us that this atomic bomb was just tested and people didn 't now what are effects of it and Truman didn 't know about it a lot but he believed this to stop Japan 's leaders and make Japan surrender because from the evidence here we now that Truman didn 't like that way that women and children had to suffer all this bombing which gave very bad causes for the next long time of
