The USS Panay incident was a Japanese attack on the American gunboat Panay while it was anchored in the Yangtze River outside Nanking (now spelled Nanjing), China on December 12, 1937. Like the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor four years later, Japan and the United States were not at war at the time. The Japanese claimed that they did not see the US flags painted on the deck of the gunboat, apologized, and paid an indemnity. Nevertheless, the attack and the subsequent Allison incident in Nanking caused U.S. opinion to turn against the Japanese. Some extra facts: Date December 12, 1937

Yangtze River, off Nanking, China

I need help on this: why Harry S Truman was in charge of dropping the bomb, where we dropped the bomb, and why we dropped 2 bomb
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Atomic Bomb question

Explanation:

Harry Truman was in charge because Franklin Roosevelt Died from a stroke in April of 1945. We dropped the first bomb on Hiroshima on August, 6,  1945  And then on August 9 1945 we dropped another bomb on Nagasaki. The reason we dropped 2 bombs instead of one is because the whole purpose of dropping the first one was to get Japan to surrender and they didn't so we dropped another one and they finally did surrender. the names of the bombs where Fat man And Little Boy.

Why did the formation of League of Nation mandates in the former Ottoman Empire lead to conflict?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Following the defeat of Germany and Ottoman Turkey in World War I, their Asian and African possessions, which were judged not yet ready to govern themselves, were distributed among the victorious Allied powers under the authority of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations (itself an Allied creation). The mandate system was a compromise between the Allies’ wish to retain the former German and Turkish colonies and their pre-Armistice declaration (November 5, 1918) that annexation of territory was not their aim in the war. The mandates were divided into three groups on the basis of their location and their level of political and economic development and were then assigned to individual Allied victors (mandatory powers, or mandatories).

Class A mandates consisted of the former Turkish provinces of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. These territories were considered sufficiently advanced that their provisional independence was recognized, though they were still subject to Allied administrative control until they were fully able to stand alone. Iraq and Palestine (including modern Jordan and Israel) were assigned to Great Britain, while Turkish-ruled Syria and Lebanon went to France. All Class A mandates reached full independence by 1949.
