Describe the sequence of events that took place after Truman’s decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan

History
1 answer:
k0ka [10]2 years ago
6 0

Pearl Harbor was attacked in December 1941, the Manhattan Project was created in 1941, the program was created to secretly built an atomic bomb, it was originally projected against Nazi Germany, but in May 1945 Germany surrendered and the US still had the bomb and still was at war with Japan that did not surrender.

They were four years into the war, the US Army invaded Okinawa and Iwo Jima, yet the Japan military resisted.

In July 1945 the Manhattan project successfully detonated the atomic bomb in a test site in the desert of New Mexico.

There was another element into question: The Soviet Union entered the war against Japan and the atomic bomb would send a strong message to the Soviets. This way, Truman decided to drop the bomb on the city of Hiroshima on August 6th of 1945, three days later another bomb was dropped over Nagasaki.

On August 15th Japan surrendered ending the WWII, and Truman faced heavy criticism. Some argued that Japan was on its knees and the bombs were unnecessary, others pointed to the Soviets as a motive.

The bomb ended WWII but started the long Cold War with the Soviet Union, it lasted 50 years and ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall.

What is one characteristic of midterm elections in the United States?
Leona [35]

Answer:

The answer is option C "They have lower voter turnout than presidential elections"

Explanation:

Elections for government federal offices are held in the US twice a year. Since the president of the US is chosen for a long term period, one of these election will happen in the President's long term of office. It is these decisions that are known as "midterm elections."During a midterm political race all the 435 individuals from the Place of Agents are on the ballot and 33% or at least 30 of the 100 individuals from the Senate.

The explanation as to just a single third of the Senate is on the ballot is that Representatives serve long terms of office and the writers of the Constitution needed to guarantee that they were not all moved out at one time.
