President Truman's reasoning behind bombing the cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was to ultimately end the devasting war. He wanted to put an end to the agony that it had cause.
I do not agree with the decision to drop an atomic bomb on two (very populated) cities, however, it was not my decision to make, and was far before my time.
The atomic bombs "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" resulted in approximately 105,000 fatalities, and 95,000 causalities.
There were four other alternatives to dropping the atomic bombs:
- Offer the Japanese conditional surrender by lifting some of the terms
- Wait for the Soviets to attack Mancharia and Korea (which were occupies by the Japanese)
- Naval blockade
- Invade the Japanese "home" islands
Unconditional surrender was <u>discussed</u> during the Casablanca Conference in 1943, and the US <u>demanded</u> for unconditional surrender in the Potsdam Declaration in 1945.
The main issues that were compromised on in the Constitutional Convention were:
- The Great Compromise, creating a bicameral Congress
- The 3/5ths Compromise, making slaves count as 3/5ths of a person
- Commerce Compromise, mandating that tariffs were only to be allowed on imports from foreign countries and not exports from the U.S., and that interstate commerce would be regulated by the federal government.
- Compromise on Trade of Enslaved People, when Northern states agreed to wait until 1808 before Congress would be able to ban the trade of enslaved people in the U.S.
- The Electoral College compromise, when the two sides debating at the convention compromised with the creation of the Electoral College, which is made up of electors roughly proportional to population.
The answer for this would be the individuals on the island would all appear very alike to individually or each other, and they may demonstrate uncharacteristically high incidences or manifestation of traits that are unusual in the universal human population.
