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>

inna [77]
Hai :3
I answered this question before, if you look it up.
What Samuel Adams is trying to say is that, if the British parliament is going to tax on the American colonists, then the colonists should have a say on the parliament when it comes to both taxes and laws.
This is where the famous phrase "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION" comes from.
American colonists wanted independence due to this unfair treatment that the British gave to the colonists, as well as no say in Parliament. 

Cheers!

What is an alliance and how did they affect the First world war?​
inessss [21]

Answer:

An alliance is a union or association formed for mutual benefit, usually between countries or other organizations. This is seen as one of the causes of WW1 because countries involved in the developing conflict brought their allies into it as well. Serbia relied on their allies such as Russia, France, and Britain, while Austria called on the Ottoman Empire and Germany.
