japan subdued

A detailed Summary of japan subdued


It was the year of 1945 when the U.S. and it's Allies were in War with the country of Japan. Japan had previously attacked the United States Naval Force's in Pearl Harbor, which had resulted in a big loss to the U.S. This event had led to the beginning of a War between the two and some of the U.S. Allies. Japan was trying to take control of a lot of the land in the East and was battling for land control. The book written by Herbert Feis talks about the time era in which the U.S. tried to make Japan during 1945 unconditionally surrender its power to the them, which then led to the Atomic Bomb-S1 usage upon Japans pride to surrender.

In the book, the author tries to tell us that the use of the Atomic Bomb could've been prevented if other agreements would've taken place between the two Countries. It also talked about how the second bomb that was used was unnecessary and should've have never been dropped but the U.S. Government said that is was dropped to make a clear statement to Japan. The whole reason the President and General MacArthur agreed the bomb would benefit the U.S., is that it would make Japan surrender unconditionally to the U.S. and could save lives of the U.S. Military from fighting a longer War.


Throughout this book the Author's information seemed repetitive, you'll be reading and then you'll be thinking in your head didn't I just read that on the other page. He did give a very detailed lay out on the steps of the bombing. At the end of the book he wrote on how the could've ended early without the use of the Atomic Bomb. I personally think that the first bomb could've been a justified reason to try and end the War early and make Japan surrender. The second bomb however was unnecessary because Japan would've realized that the U.S. was not joking around with it's fire power. Say the War had continued without the use of the Atomic Bomb, I'm sure many lives would've been lost on both sides of the War. When the U.S. however used the second bomb it had killed so many more innocent lives that could've have been saved if they had waited to let Japan know if you don't surrender a second bomb will be used. Who knows could've happened if all of these decisions had been made then that's why I agreed with the author on how he said that he too also thought the use of the bombs could've been avoided before being used. If the Japanese had also not been so stubborn who knows history may be different but its happened
