REY [17]2 years ago

President Truman's reasoning behind bombing the cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was to ultimately end the devasting war. He wanted to put an end to the agony that it had cause.

I do not agree with the decision to drop an atomic bomb on two (very populated) cities, however, it was not my decision to make, and was far before my time.  

The atomic bombs "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" resulted in approximately 105,000 fatalities, and 95,000 causalities.

There were four other alternatives to dropping the atomic bombs:

- Offer the Japanese conditional surrender by lifting some of the terms

- Wait for the Soviets to attack Mancharia and Korea (which were occupies by the Japanese)

- Naval blockade

- Invade the Japanese "home" islands

Unconditional surrender was <u>discussed</u> during the Casablanca Conference in 1943, and the US <u>demanded</u> for unconditional surrender in the Potsdam Declaration in 1945.

Which of the following is the thesis statement?
Sliva [168]

Answer: The government should be able to place regulations on what we eat and drink because these regulations would help prevent health issues such as obesity, they would help improve the economy, and they would improve overall public health.

Explanation:

A thesis statement is simply referred to as a statement that gives a detailed summary of the main points that are contained in an essay or story.

Therefore, the thesis statement is option A as it gives a summary of the main points regarding the essay on government regulations on food. Other options are incorrect as they didn't summarize the main point in the essay
