History

Tamiku [17]3 years ago
7 0
So this term is usually known as laws so absurd that it shouldn't even be a law. Examples are like "One may not eat oatmeal on their porch on Saturdays in ______". The term came from the idea that they shouldn't need to be stated and that they are just morally wrong. Or that one MUST do something because it is morally right to do that.

What were the most likely reasons that US leaders decided to develop the atomic bomb? Select two options.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

They believed that defeating Japan with regular weapons would be too costly in time and lives.

They wanted to be viewed by other nations as the most powerful nation in the world.

Explanation:

The U.S. leaders decided to develop atomic weapons as a response to the threat from the Nazis in Germany who were said to have been developing such kinds of weapon. However, under Harry Truman as the President, the U.S. actually dropped the bomb over Japan twice<em> in order to defeat them in a speedy manner. </em>This was also done <u><em>in order to prevent having many American casualties </em></u>if they ever invaded.

It is also said that they developed the atomic bomb during the "Cold War." An "arm race" happened whereby nations, especially the U.S. and the Soviet Union, tried to become more superior over the other by<em> developing the best military weapons</em>. When the Soviet tested their atomic bomb, the U.S. also announced that they'd be making an even better atomic bomb. This situation clearly showed how the Americans wanted to be viewed as <em>the most powerful nation in the world.</em>
