Yes this was necessary because the Japanese had showed they would not surrender even if it meant full lose of military soldiers. Other justifiable reasons would be that the U.S. had already lost many lives to the war and it would not a good move to keep sending soldiers in to lose their lives when they could just drop the atomic bomb.

Dropping the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not a military necessity because from other reports, the Japanese were about to surrender anyway. It was justifiable because we were scared and we acted because we were threatened.

Vadim26 [7]
Andrew jackson describe the election of 1824 as a corrupt bargain because he thought south carolina voted for John Quincy adams in order to make it easier to Secede. 
Back then, John Quincy simply doesn't have enough vote to be considered as the winning candidate, making the credibility of the election really questionable

Write 1 paragraph (at least 150 words) answering the following question:
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."

This phrase, along with the idea of written laws, goes back to ancient Mesopotamian culture that prospered long before the Bible was written or the civilizations of the Greeks or Romans flowered.

"An eye for an eye ..." is a paraphrase of Hammurabi's Code, a collection of 282 laws inscribed on an upright stone pillar. The code was found by French archaeologists in 1901 while excavating the ancient city of Susa, which is in modern-day Iran.

Hammurabi is the best known and most celebrated of all Mesopotamian kings. He ruled the Babylonian Empire from 1792-50 B.C.E. Although he was concerned with keeping order in his kingdom, this was not his only reason for compiling the list of laws. When he began ruling the city-state of Babylon, he had control of no more than 50 square miles of territory. As he conquered other city-states and his empire grew, he saw the need to unify the various groups he controlled.
