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.

Why did the treaty of Versallies fail to win support in America?
adoni [48]

One of the reasons of the failure is because it had failed to prevent the Second World War to occur. The purpose of the treaty itself was to stop another big war to exist again on this earth, yet it had unsuccessfully done so. The war still happened and the destruction of it was even larger and more serious than in WWI and other war in history of humankind due to the fact that the technology is increasing, and thus the weapons using are more powerful than ever, for instance, aircrafts, tanks, machine guns, and especially the use of nuclear bombs in Japan to end the war. Consequently, it resulted in dead of 75 million people including 20 million soldiers and 40 million civilians.


Furthermore, the cause of failure of the treaty was because it was lack of the enforcement mechanism and lack of willingness of the allied powers. Many terms stipulated in the treaty were not implemented. For example, the 14 points of President Woodrow Wilson including “1) no more secret treaties, 2) countries must seek to reduce their weapons and their armed forces, 3) national self-determination should allow people of the same nationality to govern themselves and one nationality should not have the power to govern another , 4) all countries should belong to the League of Nations,” and an intention of France in dividing Germany into smaller states did not occur, and thus it just caused the treaty to become weak; as a result, Germany could take the advantages of it.
