Was the United States justified in the dropping of the atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

I believe that the United States was and wasn't justified to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Explanation:

It was justified because Japan realized a surprise attack at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, after two hours of bombing, 18 U.S. ships were sunk or damaged, 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed, and 2,403 people were killed, all of this happened while the U.S. and Japan were officially engaging in diplomatic negotiations for possible peace in Asia.

It wasn't justified because the two bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people.

In your opinion was the Treaty of Versailles fair – why/why not?<br> Pls answer it, thanks!
Airida [17]
In my opinion, it wasn’t fair. It blamed the entire war only on Germany, which caused them to have a severe economic depression and crumbled their entire nation. This is one of the reasons why Germany started WW2. Germany also wasn’t the only nation that completely started WW1, it started when a Serbian terrorist group assassinated the Archduke of Austria- Hungary.

Explain how Ethnocentrism played a part in the slavery in the US and the colonization of Africa.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

For four hundred years, Africans were snatched from their homes and deported into the Americas where they were put to work in mines and plantations. Their sweat and blood served as a bedstone to the tremendous wealth still enjoyed in Europe and the Americas. The discovery of the New World boosted the European economy and marked the starting point of what one can call the “African nightmare.” The exploitation of the new land required millions of skilled laborers capable of standing the tropical climate which encompasses the vast region from the US South down to Brazil. The enslavement of Indians rapidly proved to be inefficient because the native population was hard to control and it was profoundly affected by the diseases brought from the Old world. The solution to the need of labor was the forced transportation to the colonies of poverty-stricken people, euphemistically called “indentured servants” or “engagés” in French. Europeans could not obviously count on their own “proletarians” who did not have the suited skills especially when tropical agriculture was concerned. The final solution came from Africa where Europeans discovered a potential slave market at the time of their arrival in the middle of the fifteenth century.

Why did the Europeans use one crop economies in their colonies?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Europeans generally used a one-crop economy in their colonies, for they are trying to generate wealth, instead of looking after the economies of the colonies. Most of the time, the crop is a "cash crop" or a crop that is worth a lot when needed, but usually cannot be eaten or used as food. They can include Tobacco, Cotton, etc.

However, the usage of only producing one product would lead to a large dependancy on it, and the economy of the certain country would depend on the demand as well as the price of the product. The higher the demand, the better the price, which leads to a better GDP. Of course, this may change on the whim, which makes an extremely unstable economy.

In today's world, only one one-resource economy works, and that is oil. Oil is used for a lot of things, including creating gasoline, diesel, etc, and is used in many modern appliances. However, with the world soon seeing the disastrous affects of the usage of fossil fuels, they are slowly transitioning to renewable resources, which may soon put the "oil kings" out of business, and propelling them back into a third-world status.

In the end, the Europeans used one crop economies in their colonies to generate quick cash, and to keep the economies of the colonies small, which may lead to them having trouble with uprisings.
