1 answer:

3 0

The correct answer is - D. It was widely agreed that a traditional invasion of Japan would drag the war on for years and lead to may, may more deaths than the atomic bomb.

The US officials decided to use the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan because of two reasons. The first and more important one was to put an end to the war as quickly and efficiently as possible, minimizing the deaths of their troops as much as possible. The second one was to create an image of a country that reached a level of global military power, in order to boost its global reputation and cause fear at other nations.

Both of those things worked out very fine for the USA. They ended the war with Japan in no time, and they gained a status of a global military powerhouse.

Select ALL the correct answers. In what three ways did discrimination against African Americans continue after the GI Bill of Ri

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Thanks to discrimination after the GI Bill of Rights was passed:

Many were denied loans to purchase a home from white loan officers.
Many were denied high-paying jobs due to lack of education.
Many were denied entry into colleges due to segregation laws.

The GI Bill of Rights was passed after the second World War in order to help veterans be integrated into society. It was to help them get houses through housing assistance and education through tuition assistance.

Because Black people were mostly denied entry into colleges due to segregation laws, they could not take advantage of the bill to get better education that would guarantee them better jobs.

They were also denied loan applications to get houses by white loan officers and so could not benefit from that as well.

In conclusion, the GI Bill of Rights did not benefit every veteran but only those with a certain skin tone.
