K12 ~ 5.09: War's End

History

Monica [59]3 years ago

While there is a widespread belief that using nuclear weapons against Japan during the end of WWII precipitated the Empire's surrender, saving thousands of soldiers' lives from both armies, an ongoing debate is still taking place on the real effects that the bombs had on the Japanese decision to surrender.

After the surrender of the Germans and Italians, the Empire of Japan faced an overwhelming enemy force and its defeat was practically inevitable. However, they seemed to be willing to fight until they were completely defeated. That is why some believe that the use of the nuclear weapons persuaded the Japanese authorities to surrender or face total destruction.

In spite of that, some authors (such as Robert Pape) believe that it was the invation of Manchuria by the Soviets the decisive factor in the end of the war not the use of atomic bombs.

Ultimately, one could reach the conclusion that the use of nuclear weapons by Truman was not the correct decision since 1) it caused the death of tens of thousands of civilians 2) The Empire of Japan was outnumbered by the allies and the Soviet Union and its defeat was almost inevitable 3) the use of nuclear weapons on entire cities can not be justified with the attack on Pearl Harbour since one war crime cannot justify another one.

Corporations became the most important form of business organization in the late 19th century because they?
Liula [17]

Corporations became the most important form of business organization in the late 19th century because their industries needed large amounts of capital.

The first American businesses were created in the 1790s and quickly rose to prominence in the economy of the fledgling country. Even while there were businesses in early 19th-century Europe, especially in Great Britain and the Netherlands, no nation adopted corporate growth as quickly as the United States.

In the initial years following the American Revolution, there were small financial organizations.

Corporations may raise capital from a variety of sources, offering a crucial channel for both producers and savers. In the early years, voting rights were significantly less guaranteed due to procedures for "graduating" certain stockholders, but companies nevertheless represented a novel form of investment.
