    Although the use of the bomb killed many innocent civilians it also saved many lives because if the bomb had not dropped the war would have gone on with more air raids and more attacks on cities and many soldiers on both sides would have died. If the US had not dropped the atomic bomb the nuclear arms race would have would have went on and the standards would have been different and it may not have been just two cities but an entire country.…

    Twenty years after Harry Truman ordered the dropping of the atomic bomb, scholars and citizens subscribed to the original version of the story: the President acted to avoid the invasion of Japan and lose anywhere from 200,000 to 500,000 American lives. Then in 1965, Gar Alperovitz published a the book “Atomic Diplomacy: Hiroshima and Potsdam”. He argues that the dropping of the atomic bomb “was not needed to end the war or to save lives” but was a message to the Soviet Union. Fifty years after the atomic bomb was dropped, Alperovitz said that the final answer to why the atomic bomb was dropped is “neither essential nor possible”. He also said,”What is important is whether, when the bomb was used, the President and his top advisers understood that it wa not required to avoid a long and costly invasion, as they later claimed and as most Americans still believe.” Alperovitz believes that if the bomb was not used, Japan might still have been made to surrender before the first American landing on the island of Kyushu.…

    In February of 1942 president Roosevelt signed Executive order 9066, otherwise, known as the movement to begin Japanese Internment. This very well may have been signed out of pure fear of the Japanese resulting from their attack on Pearl Harbor. They deceived us and almost completely wiped out our forces stationed in the Hawaiian islands. In response to this not only was war declared but Internment was brought upon Japanese in America which from a military and strategical point of view is a really smart move. Internment camps were the right move in order to protect the country.…

    I am writing this letter to you to discuss my concerns on why I feel you should not drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. First off let me start by saying that if you decide to proceed with the dropping of this atomic bomb you will be killing hundreds and thousands of innocent people. I am not sure if you understand the severity of dropping this bomb and the amount of people you will be killing and/or injuring severely. I would like for you to take the time to step back to look at this situation from all angles. What if Japan had decided to drop an Atomic Bomb on the United States. How will that make you feel knowing that your close family and friends can or will be killed because of a disagreement? I am aware…

    During World War II, thousands of Japanese Americans, both Issei and Nisei, were relocated into internment camps. The majority of those who were deported were innocent and they lost their homes and properties during the war. In the internment camps, the Japanese Americans experience inhumane living conditions, a whole family could live in just one room. The food in the camps were terrible and many grew sick from the food. Many were questioned for their loyalty to America, and others were deported to fight for America, when their families are still suffering in internment. Very few survived and recovered from their experience, as most perished or never overcome their fear of internment. The two characteristics that allowed Japanese-Americans to survive and recover from the internment camps were positive mindset and perseverance. Those who survived…

    Japanese Internment Essay

    While the United States was trying to negotiate terms of peace with Japan, no one knew or had an idea that the Japanese had made a decision to make war on the United States and Britain. This resulted in the bombing of Pearl Harbor since this was the only barrier to a Japanese victory. At around eight in the morning, on December 7th 1941, the Japanese launched a massive attack on the United States Naval Base, Pearl Harbour. This massive bombing attack was a key factor contributing to the internment of Japanese Canadians. In the novel, The Whirlwind, Ben Friedman a fourteen year old boy of Jewish culture escapes the anti-Semitism in Germany, and flees to America. There, he meets a friend named John who is of Japanese descent. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, John and his family are sent to Internment camps due to the fact that they were Japanese, possibly because they could be spies. Thousands of Japanese Canadians in Canada were sent to several Internment camps. Inside these camps, the Japanese had to live in poor conditions and work hard, while frequently getting subjected to racism and prejudice. However, even before the war, Japanese Canadians were targets of anti-rioting and they were even set aside as second-class citizens. It is evident that the Japanese Canadians in the internment camps were treated unfairly by the Canadian government due to the fact that they were frequently getting subjected to racism and prejudice inside or outside of internment camps, they were forced to work and live in terrible conditions, and the fact that the government had promised to keep all the Japanese people’s valuables in safekeeping, but in the end, everything was auctioned off.…

    Japanese Internment Essay

    After Pearl Harbor, Americans were very afraid; for the first time in many Americans’ lives, the United States looked vulnerable, shattering the invincible image ingrained into their minds. Naturally, citizens felt that they had to take measures to protect the nation and restore its strong figure. In response to the anxiety from the attack and the subsequent war, America began taking serious actions: the most significant being the internment of all Japanese people. The interment was when the United States military placed anyone of Japanese origin in camps where they were expected to take the few resources they were given and make mock-towns to live in, forcing them to make thrifty accommodations that weren’t optimal for living. At the time, actions like these seemed justified to many Americans, seeing as Japanese immigrants could have collaborated with Japan by giving them resources like oil or acting as spies. However, as time progressed, the truth was revealed — the measures taken by the people out of fear were too drastic, and the mistreatment of persecuted Japanese people like the people described in Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston’s Farewell to Manzanar were not justified. In Houston’s autobiography, Jeanne encaptures how when unjust acts like the internment of Japanese people are carried out, people will push back in resistance with things like the December Riots and the resistance of the loyalty oath.…

    The Internment of Japanese Americans by PBS goes into detail about the struggles Japanese-Americans faced during WW11. Japanese-Americans were forced to leave their daily life along the West coast and relocate to internment camps throughout the West side. The cause of their imprisonment was the bombings of Pearl Harbor and the American fear that grew from it. This lead to Executive Order 9066, which order people of Japanese descent to be put into camps. “All across the West, relocation notices were posted on April 30, 1942. All people of Japanese ancestry – including those with only 1/16th Japanese blood – were given one week to settle their affairs” (8). Racism increased since the bombing of Pearl Harbor and Americans treated the Japanese-Americans…

    “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds’?” These were the word that Mr. Robert Oppenheimer used after the Manhattan Project was successful. Mr. Oppenheimer was one the scientist who help create the nuclear bomb that was later, dropped on Hiroshima. The bomb name was “Little Boy” which help end World War II. So, I believe that it was necessary to drop the bomb on Hiroshima because the war was still going strong and Japan wasn’t showing no sign of surrender. The war was costing a lot of American lives, the end was nowhere near, and Japan citizen were loyal to their Emperor and the war. So, I would be explaining why I think bombing Hiroshima with was the right thing to do to end World War II.…

    President Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the direct cause for the end of World War II in the Pacific. The United States felt it was necessary to drop the atomic bombs on these two cities or it would suffer more casualties. Not only could the lives of many soldiers have been taken, but possibly the lives of many innocent Americans. The United States will always try to avoid the loss of American civilians at all costs, even if that means taking lives of another countries innocent civilians.…
