When the four initial colonies of Canada‚ being: Ontario‚Quebec‚ Nova Scotia and New Brunswick confederation in 1867 ; there was still much debate for the remaining colonies on whether to join.

merciless attacks and devastating effects ever truly be justified? War is the aggressive conflict between societies‚ and should only be fought using military forces against other military forces. In the event of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki‚ “Never before had civilian populations been so ruthlessly targeted.” (Foner‚ 888). While the bombing of Hiroshima may hold very little justification‚ the brutal attack on Nagasaki‚ just 3 days later‚ lacks any moral substance and cannot be defensible.
