The war with Germany had ended with the takinig over in Berlin in 1945.

However the Japanese continued to put fierce resistance on the Pacific islands. According to their culture , surrender was never an option so they were convienced that, even if the war was lost , they needed to die in battle as an act of honor and loyalty to the Emperor.

Some battles reported an enourmous amount of casualities, like the battle of Iwo Jima, in late 1945, even thought that a conventional war was carried to expel the Imperial armies that ocuppied key strategic islands, this would represent a huge amount of lives to both sides.

The decision made by H Truman in using the atomic bomb was later criticized but it indeed led to a former surrender of the Japanese that would other means would eagerly set defense on Japan mainland.

The use of atomic boms was later criticized and by public opnion often considered a war crime. There is a lot of disagreemnt since it was the first time this ever happend in history of humankind. As civilians died together with a destruction of all kind of life this continous to be debated in academic circles.

What might have happened if parliament had allowed the colonists to rule and tax themselves?
fomenos

I believe the answer is: Colonists might not have declared independence

The main reason why the revolutionist managed to get support is because of the growing satisfaction among the colonists because of the high tax rate imposed by the British government.

If the parliament allow the colonist to tax themselves, thus satisfaction would dissapear and they would not be able to obtain soldiers from the colonists.

Which feature of the Declaration of Independence is NOT emphasized in the South Carolina Declaration of Secession? a) the inalie
liraira [26]

Answer: a) the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

Explanation:

The State of Southern Carolina began it's Secession Declaration by stating that... "<em>deems it due to herself, to the remaining United States of America, and to the nations of the world, that she should declare the immediate causes which have led to this act</em>". This invalidates option D because they believe themselves obliged to declare their reason for seeking independence.

The Declaration then speaks on the notion that Governments are established by humans to aid them to certain ends. End which if not met, constitute a just cause to remove the Government from power. This invalidates option B.

In the last part of the Declaration, South Carolina alluded to its reasons for seeking independence being that the Northern Non-slave states had violated statutes that required them to return slaves who escaped from a slave state. This invalidates Option C.

Option A was never alluded to in the Secession Declaration of South Carolina and little wonder why. As a state that was in support of slavery, to maintain that all people had<em> the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, </em>they would have been invalidating the institution of slavery and so they abstained from emphasising it.
