It was a swift succession.
Johnson was sworn in a hurry given the assassination of John F.
Kennedy. This was to ensure the
stability of government during this traumatic period. Though he started his term well, Vietnam
turned public opinion against the government.
The correct answer is many people shifted their votes from Republicans to Democrats.
<em>The New Deal affected the voting patterns of African Americans in that many people shifted their votes from Republicans to Democrats. </em>
The African Americans had a very difficult time during the Great Depression. It was very complicated for them to find jobs and the ones that found were very low paid jobs. Poverty was a characteristic of African Americans. In the elections of 1932, the Democrats won the presidency and the Congress. Roosevelt launched the New Deal, a public policy to end the Depression and help the poor people.
He did it since it could become a trade capital for the world. It had good protection with the seas surrounding it and it would also allow them to control the waterways. This was just another way of having more control in their newly conquered land
You'll have to consider for yourself what your own thoughts are, but some of the issues were these:
The United States saw the use of the atomic bombs as a way to bring the war to an end in a way that would cost less American lives. A land invasion of Japan would have meant many American soldiers being killed in battle. However, the cost in Japanese lives was enormous by the use of the bombs, and that was not given equal consideration.
Another consideration was that the United States had been engaging in a fire-bombing campaign of Japanese cities prior to the use of atomic bombs. The fire-bombing campaigns were horrifically destructive also, but did not have the radiation after-effects of atomic bombings.
An option that could have been used rather than dropping atomic bombs was to enlist Soviet troops in a joint invasion of Japan. But the USA wanted to avoid postwar Soviet presence in Japan, and the atomic bombs were seen as a way of ending the war quickly. You can consider whether it would have been a more "moral" way of pursuing war to conduct a land invasion with Soviet assistance.
Finally, the escalation to the point of using atomic bombs was, in part, due to the Allies' insistence on an "unconditional surrender" by Japan. A second bomb was dropped at Nagasaki after the first was dropped on Hiroshima, because Japan did not submit to unconditional surrender in the immediate aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing. You can consider for yourself whether some other resolution besides "unconditional surrender" was a viable option for ending the war with Japan.
