Explain the U.S. reasoning behind the decision to firebomb Japan?

History

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.

identify whether the term is associated with the reformation or the counter reformation of the 16th century
Gala2k [10]

Here are your matches:

REFORMATION

  • Church of England
  • Henry VIII
  • John Calvin
  • Martin Luther

COUNTER-REFORMATION

  • Council of Trent
  • Jesuits
  • Roman Catholic Church

Allow me to add some detail about what the "Counter-Reformation" was.  The Catholic Reformation or Counter-Reformation was an effort by the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century, intended to strengthen itself in response to the Protestant Reformation.   The Counter-Reformation included a number of features, such as:

  • The formation of religious orders that aimed to build allegiance to Rome and the papacy, and to educate people in Catholic teaching.  The Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuits for short, was a key order of this sort.  The order was founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1534, along with Francis Xavier and several others.
  • The Council of Trent served to reform some abuses that were acknowledged by the Catholic Church, but mostly to assert the full authority of Roman power and doctrine over the Protestant threat.  The Council of Trent held meetings over a span of years from 1545 to 1563.
  • The Roman Inquisition was founded in 1542 to act as an investigative body in regard to threats to Rome's teachings.  About a century later, Galileo would be one of the most famous persons tried by the Roman Inquisition.

Option B. Buddhism spread from India to Central Asia through trade routes.

<h3>How did Buddhism spread in the Asia?</h3>

Through networks of land and sea connections connecting India, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and China, Buddhism expanded throughout Asia. Buddhism was brought to Central Asia and China at the same time that the silk routes expanded as a means of cross-cultural communication.

Buddhism rose to prominence in commercial areas, where it later spread via trade relations and trade routes throughout the Mauryan empire. Buddhism entered central Asia in this manner via the Silk Road.

On the Silk Road, Buddhist monks traveled in merchant caravans to spread the word of their brand-new faith. The Han Dynasty saw the start of the prosperous Chinese silk trade along this trading route.
