Question

1. What is Stimson’s argument about the motives of the US government?

Answer 1

Answer:

Doing it will end the war in a hurry

Explanation:

Henry Stimson was a politician and Secretary of war during the United State war with Japan. The war went on for a long period of time and America learnt of the strength of the Japanese army and weighed their options to prevent more American soldier casualties. This led them to bomb Japan and ended the war. The US government believed that the bombing was preferable and helped to save many lives which would have been lost.
