What are your thoughts on Hiroshima? which do you think was more in the wrong?

History

Lorico [155]4 years ago

You'll have to consider for yourself what your own thoughts are, but some of the issues were these:

The United States saw the use of the atomic bombs as a way to bring the war to an end in a way that would cost less American lives.  A land invasion of Japan would have meant many American soldiers being killed in battle.  However, the cost in Japanese lives was enormous by the use of the bombs, and that was not given equal consideration.

Another consideration was that the United States had been engaging in a fire-bombing campaign of Japanese cities prior to the use of atomic bombs. The fire-bombing campaigns were horrifically destructive also, but did not have the radiation after-effects of atomic bombings.

An option that could have been used rather than dropping atomic bombs was to enlist Soviet troops in a joint invasion of Japan.  But the USA wanted to avoid postwar Soviet presence in Japan, and the atomic bombs were seen as a way of ending the war quickly.  You can consider whether it would have been a more "moral" way of pursuing war to conduct a land invasion with Soviet assistance.

Finally, the escalation to the point of using atomic bombs was, in part, due to the Allies' insistence on an "unconditional surrender" by Japan.  A second bomb was dropped at Nagasaki after the first was dropped on Hiroshima, because Japan did not submit to unconditional surrender in the immediate aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing.  You can consider for yourself whether some other resolution besides "unconditional surrender" was a viable option for ending the war with Japan.

  • III - General Andrew Jackson was defeated by the British forces in Canada

Explanation:

The war of 1812 ( Second War for American independence) was a war fought between Britain and the United States.  The attack on Canada by the United States started the war, as an effort to gain more territory and also cut off Britain's supply of arms and ammunition to Indians Techumen who had long battled with the United States.  

The major cause of the war was as a result of Britain's economic harassment of the United States and the impressment of American sailors. The war lasted for 2 years and 8 months and ended on 17th February 1815.

The war came to an end after the defeat of the British soldiers in the Battle of New Orleans led by General Andrew Jackson of the United  States. The war also brought about the signing of the Treaty of Ghent.
