Dakota Guthrie Michael A. Joyner English 112 25 0ctober 2014 The Atomic Bombings Were Necessary To the dismay of many people on August 6‚ 1945‚ the first atomic bomb was used in the history of mankind as a part of warfare.

During World War II the United States produced two atomic bombs. It was a big decision to drop not one but two atomic bombs on Japan in World War II. That decision was one of the biggest in history and there was more than one reason for President Truman to authorize the use of atomic bombs.

The atomic bombs did not just affect Japan by their devastation‚ but they affected the foreign policy throughout the world for years to come. In

Since the end of World War two there have been debates about whether or not the U.S. should have dropped the atomic bomb or not. Many people argue that America had already won the war and that the bombs were uncalled for‚ but is this true (Doc K)?

the atomic bomb began. As time progressed in the war era‚ the bomb was fully developed as the United States dropped two on Japan. As the bombs demolished two cities in Japan‚ many people questioned if the usage of the bomb was necessary or not.

In spite of what many scientists in the Manhattan Project consider‚ with the use of the Atomic Bomb’s being inhuman‚ war overall is inhuman so I have come to the conclusion that the use of the Atomic Bombs is certainly the best option and the correct thing to do.
