U.S. vs. Japan in WWII

A detailed Summary of U.S. vs. Japan in WWII

On August 6, 1945 the atomic bomb was dropped on the

Japanese city of Hiroshima. The Enola Gay, piloted by

Colonel Tibbetts, was chosen to make the mission. The

mission was recorded as successful by Capt. William S.

Parson at 9:20 A.M. This was an extremely controversial

military strategy in the United States. Was the United

States justified in the dropping of the atomic bomb? Yes,

they were justified formany reasons. The primary reason was,

that it would stop the war. Why is it that this war needed

to be stopped so badly? Even though in some ways it was

helping our economy, it was very costly in both money and

lives. Also, the United States soldiers were undergoing

harsh treatment by the unmerciful Japanese. Another reason

the war needed to be stopped was to defend ourselves from

another attack on U.S. soil, which in turn would kill many

of our U.S. citizens. This is why the war needed to be

stopped; thus, justifying the use of the atomic bomb.

World War II was the costliest war in history, in

terms of lives lost. No exact figures exist, but

approximately between 15 and 20 million military personnel

Also recruiting offices were flooded with young patriots who

of surrendering to the United States. This was often very

wanted to help there country out. This attack was just an

infamy," Pearl Harbor was deliberately attacked by the

6,000 dead American civilians into 9,000 dead civilians.
