Puritans were very hostile towards colonists who didn’t follow the strict religious and societal rules in the colony.

·The Battle of the Philippine Sea (June 19–20, 1944) was a major naval battle of World War II that eliminated the Imperial Japanese Navy's ability to conduct large-scale carrier actions.

·As president, it was Harry Truman’s decision if the weapon would be used with the goal to end the war. “It is an awful responsibility that has come to us,” the president wrote. President Truman had four options: 1) continue conventional bombing of Japanese cities; 2) invade Japan; 3) demonstrate the bomb on an unpopulated island; or, 4) drop the bomb on an inhabited Japanese city. Truman ordered the bomb dropped on two Japanese cities (Hiroshima & Nagasaki). His decision created a controversy that is with us today.
