The United States was not justified in dropping the atom bomb because the civilian casualties to Japan were huge, the effects of the radiation lasted years to come, and the aggressive display of nuclear power would be a leading factor to the arms race during the Cold War.
The United States was unjustified in dropping the atomic bombs because it caused Japan to pay over four trillion yen to reconstruct the cities destroyed in the explosion, Japan had no nuclear weapons at the time therefore there was no possible way to defend their own country, and because American scientists urged the United States not to use the atomic bombs as a weapon because of their capability of destruction.
The United States was unjustified for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan because it killed innocent people including men, women, and children, radiation from the bomb damage crops and land for years to come, and destroyed the lives of many innocent families.
The United States was not justified in dropping the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan because many innocent civilians suffered from radiation and gas clouds caused by the atomic bomb, Japan's environment was greatly affected for years,and it caused the beginning of the nuclear arms race.
Since the death toll could have easily exceeded the toll at Hiroshima and Nagasaki just by launching an attack on Japan's shores and having slowly run out of options, the United States had jurisdiction for dropping the atomic bombs and saving some time that the Soviet Union could have used in trying to make claims on Japan's current occupied territory.
The United States was justified for dropping the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki because it put a quick end to the war, saved lives of Japanese as well as Americans, saved money, and for Japans attack on Pearl Harbor.
The United States was not justified in dropping the atom bomb because about 140,000 innocent people died, it cost the United States billions of dollars, and left Hiroshima and Nagasaki radioactive for many years after.
The United States was unjustified in the dropping of the Atomic Bomb because it cost the United States billions and billions of dollars to fund it, Antagonized the Soviet Union, and caused almost 140,000 casualties to innocent civilians.
The United States was not justified in the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan because as a result of this, thousands of civilians ended up the victims, their entire city was annihilated, and the aftermath of the radiation caused serious health issues.
The United States was justified for dropping the Atomic Bomb because, President Truman stated that the Atomic bombs were dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki,to end the war with Japan and to save the lives of American soldiers. He told the American people that an invasion of Japan could have cost between 500,000 and 1,000,000 casualties, and to not use the bomb, would cause a huge loss of American lives.The atomic bomb they believed was the best solution.
The United States was justified with dropping the atomic bombs because Japan denied the offer of the unconditional surrender, so in order to save the lives of American soldiers dropping the bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima was the best option for the rest of our country.
The United States was justified for dropping the atomic bombs because the Japanese were going too far with killing people and damaging other countries. Too many lives would be lost if they sent American troops to Hiroshima and Nagasaki to fight them, so instead they bombed both places to prevent the needless death of many American troops.
When United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, they immediately surrender. It broke the Japanese spirit to continue the war against United States. Save thousands of American lives from the war and could prevent the Americans from attacking Japan.
You are off to a good start. You can find a lot of good information from these examples for your project!
My suggestions are: make "bomb" plural (there were two) "civilian casualties to Japan were huge" replace "huge" with a statistic "lasted years to come" if you can find data on this, use it (how many years? Put a semicolon after "because"
The United States was unjustified in dropping the atomic bombs because it caused Japan to pay over four trillion yen to reconstruct the cities destroyed in the explosion, Japan had no nuclear weapons at the time therefore there was no possible way to defend their own country, and because American scientists urged the United States not to use the atomic bombs as a weapon because of their capability of destruction.
You have original points, that is really good! My suggestion are:
The United States was unjustified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japanese cities. As a result of the bombings the Japanese government paid over four trillion yen to reconstruct the cities destroyed in the explosions (plural), Japan did not possess nuclear capabilities which made self defense futile, and the United States government ignored its own scientists who warned about the lasting destructive capabilities of the atomic bombs.
You have a lot of good examples to base a project on! -Mairs
The United States was unjustified for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan because it killed innocent people including men, women, and children, radiation from the bomb damage crops and land for years to come, and destroyed the lives of many innocent families.
My suggestion are: "unjustified for dropping the atomic bomb" change "for" to in make "bomb" bombs (plural, there were two dropped) "it killed innocent people including men, women, and children" try: the bombings were responsible for the deaths of (#/statistic here) civilians
"radiation from the bomb damage crops and land for years to come" bombs (plural) give me a statistic if you can find one, how many years? how much damage?
"destroyed the lives of many innocent families" replace this with a new reason (you've already used this) consider: immoral stance here (burned children, families devastated, etc)
Woops! I posted before I was done! You have good topics that will provide a lot of info to base your project on. You need a third reason for dropping the bombs, you only have two listed (see the suggestions in my previous posting). Ryan, make sure you do your share, you have a lot of good ideas to contribute. See me if you need help. -Mairs
You have excellent examples to base your project on. Good start!
My suggestions are: make sure you keep bomb plural (bombs, there were two dropped)
either include Hiroshima with Nagasaki, just say Japan, or discuss it separately, but do not forget to include it!
Try: The United States was not justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan because; radiation and gas clouds resulted in the death of (give statistic here, how many civilians were killed?) innocent civilians, Japan's environment was affected for (give statistics here; how many years? what types of effects?), and the display of force led the Soviet Union to compete in an arms race with the United States following the war.
This is an excellent start, but you have one giant run on sentence here. I suggest fixing it as follows:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Experts estimated that a land attack on Japan would result in over one million casualties (you will need to provide sources in your project to back this claim), the bombings established U.S. authority in the region which halted Soviet claims to territory occupied by Japan during the war, and (you need a third reason here. I suggest its assertion of the U.S. as a world power in an era of imperialism and reconstruction)
See me if you need help. With these topics, you can find good info for your project! -Mairs
Okay, this is a great start and your topics are good, you just have grammar errors. Make sure you proof read your submission out loud for flow, this will prevent simple errors.
My suggestions:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because; the action put a quick end to the war and saved the lives of Japanese and Americans, a land attack would have forced the United States to borrow money to continue its war efforts (make sure you can prove this), and the show of force surpassed the effects of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, acting as a warning to other countries vying for power.
The United States was not justified in dropping the atom bomb because about 140,000 innocent people died, it cost the United States billions of dollars, and left Hiroshima and Nagasaki radioactive for many years after.
This is a solid and clean draft. The topics you mention will be easily researched and discussed in your project. My suggestion are:
"atom bomb " make this plural-bombs (we dropped 2) add on Japan (where did we drop the atomic bombs?)
"about 140,000 innocent people died" check this statistic and add injured people as well. Remove "about", there is a solid number
"left Hiroshima and Nagasaki radioactive for many years after." add: the bombings give a statistic for "for many years" how many years?

Neda & Claire wrote: "The United States was not justified in dropping the atom bomb because about 140,000 innocent people died, it cost the United States billions of dollars, and left Hiroshima and Nagasaki radioactive for many years after".
SEE ME!!!! Get together and figure out who authored this thesis, the other group will need to try again or both groups will receive a zero. See me if you have questions. -Mairs
You have topics that will be easy research and provide details to. Your thesis needs a few small tweeks.
try this:
The United States was not justified in the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan. As a result of the bombings, thousands (provide statistic here, solid number) Japanese civilians became victims, the cities were annihilated, and the aftermath of the radiation caused serious health issues.
"The United States was justified for (replace "for" with 'in') dropping the Atomic Bomb (bombs on Japan.) because (remove "because"), President Truman stated that the Atomic bombs were dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, (remove coma) to end the war with Japan and to save the lives of American soldiers. He (remove "He" and replace with 'Truman') told the American people that an invasion of Japan could have cost between 500,000 and 1,000,000 casualties (same argument as above), and to not use the bomb, (remove coma) would cause a huge loss of American lives (same argument as before).The atomic bomb they believed was the best solution."
Okay, you have one argument restated several times here. Keep the argument that a land attack on Japan would have cost more lives for both sides (estimated at 1 million). You need to find 2 more reasons that justify the use of the atomic bombs on Japan. See me if you need help. -Mairs
You have a good start, but you only have 2 arguments posted. You will need to add one more.
Try this: The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan because; Japan denied the U.S. warnings about the use of the bombs and the offer of unconditional surrender, Japanese and American lives were saved by stopping the war before a land attack was pursued, and... (you need one more reason here. See me if you need help). -Mairs
You have an excellent start here with good points that will be easily researched and proven.
I would make the following alterations:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan. The Japanese were practicing total warfare, killing civilians and damaging other countries, a land attack would result in the loss of an estimated one million lives, and... (you need one more reason here).
See me if you need help finding a third reason. -Mairs
You have one good point with simple grammatical errors. I suggest you make the following changes:
When United States dropped the atomic bombs on Japan surrender was immediate. The action stopped a ground attack and saved an estimated one million lives, (insert reason 2, and reason 3 here)...
Now you need 2 more reasons. See me if you need help on this. -Mairs
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for three reasons. The first reason was the desire to save American lives, the second was to get revenge on the Japanese for bombing Pearl Harbor, and lastly was to warn the Soviet Union of the power the U.S. military has.
The United States was unjustified in dropping the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they were using weapons without a complete knowledge of the effects, the aggressive use of the weapon lead to the cold war, and it gave President Truman away to justify the funds going into the Manhattan Project while avoiding congressional issues to promote his desire to a run for a second term in office.
When the United States dropped the atomic bombs on Japan, surrender was immediate. The action stopped an American ground attack of Japan and saved an estimated one million American lives, it broke the Japanese spirit to continue to the war against America and revenged the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The United States was not justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japn because it killed innocent people includding childrens,women,and men,the radiation caused serious health issues.
When the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WWII, the president at the time Harry S. Truman, was justified because dropping the atomic bombs on Japan saved thousands of U.S. soldiers lives and was the only way to end the war quickly.
The dropping of both atomic bombs by the United States was justified. If they had not dropped both bombs there would've been an invasion of Japan, which had been estimated to have human casualties in the millions. The project cost a lot of money and many years of hard work, it would be a waste not to use it and Japan was also trying to develop its own atomic weapons.
The United States was unjustified in dropping bombs on Japan because they did not have the right to take the lives of thousands of innocent civilians, nor to destroy the land for years to come, nor to instigate other countries to justify the use of nuclear weapons.
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bomb on Hirioshima and Nagasaki because it led to a quick end to the war, it saved more American lives, and it showed to the world that the United States would persevere until justice was served.
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because it saved American lives and showed Japan, as well as other countries, that if you bomb the U.S. there will be retaliation.
The United States was unjustified in dropping the atomic bombs because it was used for America to have a sense of “power” over the rest of the world, it violated the Hague Convention, and because not only did it kill many but it had long-term lasting effects.
The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 by the United States were unjustified because the two bombs cost Japan a great deal of money putting them into an even greater dept from WWII, left permanent damage to the two cities and surrounding area, ad killed about 150,000 Japanese civilians.
The United States was justified from dropping the Atomic bomb by preventing the deaths of numerous american lives, and by preventing the japanese from attacking more bases, and by stopping war production so we have more supplies to give to the people back at home.
The United States was justified for dropping the two Atomic bombs in Japan because it saved money, it saved many American lives, and it put a quick end to the war.
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs because it saved many American lives, put an end to the war, and gave the notion that the U.S. was extremely powerful.
During World War II, the U.S. decision to drop the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki was one of the most controversial decisions in U.S. history. The actions of President Truman were justified on the basis that total war had broken out, as evidenced by Japan's surprise attack on the U.S. and fire bombings over Tokyo that were claiming thousands of civilian lives. Ultimately, the atomic bombs ended the war by destroying Japanese cities and killing citizens, forcing Japan to surrender unconditionally.
The U.S. was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because Truman needed to end the war early to prevent a land invasion; thus saving American lives, he also hade to prove that the manhattan project wasn't a wast of money, and the whole country, including the president, wanted to get revenge for the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The United States was justified in dropping the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because it put an end to the war, saved many American lives from being lost, both military and civilian, as well as displayed the militiristic might of the United States.
The United States was not justified in dropping the atomic bombs because it caused very bad problems for the environment, Japan was losing so there was no need, and it killed many innocent people, including those that were affected by radiation.
The United States was not justified in the dropping of the atomic bomb because innocent Japanese civilians became victims, it cost the United States billions of dollars, and it affected Japan's environment or many years to come.
The United States' decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified because it was the only way to end the war without sacrificing the lives of many Americans and Japanese through the invasion of Japan.
The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were justifiable for it saved both American and Japanese lives, it ended the war in the Pacific, and the surrender of Japan to the United States after the bombings prevented a potential USSR invasion on Japan.
Yes, the americans were good for dropping the atomic bomb because japan would not stop,they kept cracking all the codes, this was the simplest way to end all war. It was a very harsh devastating way to do it but it had to be done in order to come at peace. ashlee kelly camille boland per.2
On December 7, 1941 Japan ambushed Pearl Harbor. I think the United States had the right to drop the two atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima because they gave them the same devastation they gave us, to end the the ongoing feud between the United States and Japan, and to show new technology so no other country would underestimate the United States.
The Hiroshima bombings or the atomic bomb was unjustified because it brought the Soviet Union into the Pacific War on August 9, 1945. It killed 200,000 innocent Japanese civilians, who were already starving. It also caused severe strained relationships with the United States and Japan when there was already many Nisei and Issei, American and Japanese born, living in the United States that were placed into interment camps.
Excellent start & easy topics to research. My suggestion is:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for three reasons. With an estimated million casualties in a land attack, the U.S. dropped the bombs to save lives, the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor demanded retribution, and the U.S. needed to display their power to the Soviet Union
You are off to a great start! Really great topics to research and present! My suggestion are as follows:
The United States was unjustified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The United States used atomic weapons without a complete knowledge of the effects, the aggressive use of the weapon lead to the arms race and the Cold War, and the action gave President Truman a way to justify the funds going into the Manhattan Project while avoiding congressional issues to promote his desire to a run for a second term in office.
The United States was not justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan because it killed innocent civilians, the radiation caused serious health issues, and you need one more reason here...)
Excellent work! I made a few changes and suggestions:
When the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WWII, U.S. president Harry S. Truman was justified. Dropping the atomic bombs on Japan saved thousands of U.S. soldiers lives, it was argued that an extreme action against Japan was the only way to end the war quickly, and (you need one more reason here...).
Good start! I made a few changes and suggestions as follows:
The dropping of both atomic bombs by the United States was justified. If they had not dropped both bombs there would've been an invasion of Japan, which had been estimated to have human casualties in the millions. The project (add: to build the atomic bombs) cost a lot of money (how much? can you provide an estimate here?), and Japan (add: Japan's allies were) trying to develop their own atomic weapons.
Excellent work!! I made a few changes to make it flow. These are all great points to write and present on!
The United States was unjustified in dropping two atomic bombs on Japan in World War II. The bombings cost the lives of 200,000 innocent civilians, the bombings also destroyed the land for years to come, and the action instigated other countries, like the Soviet Union, in their justification of the use of nuclear weapons.
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bomb on Hirioshima and Nagasaki because it led to a quick end to the war, it saved more American lives, and it showed to the world that the United States would persevere until justice was served.
Excellent start! I don't have anything to change in grammar or flow. I would try to find something concrete for the third example (like: it established the United States as a world power the coming post world war negotiations... or something like that.
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. The action saved the estimated one million American lives that would have been lost in a ground attack, it asserted America's place as a world power, and (you need one more concrete example here...).
The United States was unjustified in dropping the atomic bombs because it was used for America to have a sense of “power” over the rest of the world, it violated the Hague Convention, and because not only did it kill many but it had long-term lasting effects.
EXCELLENT! You are the first group to discuss the Hague Convention ever! I would add:
the bombings resulted in the deaths 200,000 civilians and had long-term effects on the heath and land of Japan's people.
In place of "not only did it kill many but it had long-term lasting effects".
Due to the Cold War, race for arms, and advancement of weaponry, the U.S. was not justified on dropping the A-Bomb in WWII
I see where you are going with this, but you really have only presented one point here, you need three. I would make the following changes to make your one point legible, then work to add more:
The United States was not justified in dropping atomic bombs on Japan in World War II. The action was a direct cause of the arms race and Cold War tensions, (now you need 2 more reasons...).
Thank you for your posting! I would make the following changes:
"The two bombs cost Japan a great deal of money putting them into an even greater dept from WWII" - No, this is inaccurate, delete it and use another argument please.
Suggestions:
The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 by the United States were unjustified. The bombings left permanent damage to the two cities and surrounding area, approximately 200,000 Japanese civilians were killed, and (you need one more reason here...)
Good start. I made the following changes and suggestions:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan in World War II. By dropping the bombs, the U.S. prevented the deaths of numerous American soldiers, the action also prevented the japanese from attacking and gaining more bases in the Pacific, and (you need to try a concrete example here, something measurable).
I made the following changes to you thesis statement:
The United States was justified in dropping the two Atomic bombs on Japan because; it saved money (can you tell me approximately how much money??), it saved an estimated one million American lives, and it put a quick end to the war.
Excellent points to research and present. I made a few small changes as follows:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan in World War II. The action saved an estimated one million American lives, it put an end to the war, and the action gave the notion that the U.S. was extremely powerful.
This is great! You need to add one more reason though. I would clean it up just a touch. My suggestions are:
During World War II, the U.S. decision to drop the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki was one of the most controversial decisions in U.S. history. Nevertheless, the actions of President Truman were justified on the basis that total war had broken out, the atomic bombs ended the war by destroying Japanese cities and killing citizens, forcing Japan to surrender unconditionally, and (one more reason here...)
"as evidenced by Japan's surprise attack on the U.S. and fire bombings over Tokyo that were claiming thousands of civilian lives. " - Put this line in your summary as concrete evidence to back you thesis.
Excellent thesis with great points! I made a few small suggestions as follows:
The U.S. was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because Truman needed to end the war early to prevent a land invasion; thus saving American lives, he also needed to prove that the Manhattan Project was not a wast of money, and avenging the attack on Pearl Harbor thrust America to the forefront as a Super Power.
Very nicely done! I made a few changes to help it to flow:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because it put an end to the war, saved an estimated one million American military and civilian lives, and displayed the militiristic might of the United States.
Well done! I made few small changes to help it to flow better:
The United States was not justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan because they caused unmeasurable problems for the environment, Japan was losing the war, so there was no need, and it killed an estimated 200,000 innocent people, including those that were affected by radiation.
Excellent thesis. I made the following changes for flow:
The United States was not justified in the dropping the atomic bombs on Japan in World War II. An estimated 200,000 innocent Japanese civilians became victims, it cost the United States billions of dollars, and it affected Japan's environment or many years to come.
Good start! I made a few adjustments as follows. Also, you only provided one reason, you need three total.
The United States' decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified because it was the only way to end the war without sacrificing the lives of millions of Americans and Japanese through the invasion of Japan (you need two more reasons...)
The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II were justifiable. The actions saved an estimated one million American and Japanese lives, it ended the war in the Pacific and led to the surrender of Japan to the United States, and the bombings showed the USSR that the United States was a Super Power.
Nice start. I made some changes that will help it to read better:
American was justified in it's dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan in World War II. Japan had shown it's intension to continue a war of attrition, the bombings saved an estimated one million American and Japanese lives, and (you need one more concrete detail...).
You posted in the wrong teacher's area. Please repost on your teacher's site and let me know if I need me to show him/her that you were on time with your posting.
Thank you for re-posting a thesis. I appreciate your prompt response to my concerns and I ma glad that we cleared the issue up. I made a few changes as follows:
The use of the atomic bombs on Japan in World War II was unjustified. The action brought the Soviet Union into an arms race with the United States that led to the Cold War, it killed 200,000 innocent Japanese civilians, and it caused damage to Japan's cities and land that would affect the country for generations.
The United States was not justified in dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki becuase it was a crime against humanity in killing 200,000 innocent japanese civilians, the U.S. government had not thoroughly tested the magnitude and effects of radiation from the atomic bomb, and The U.S. government was not aware of how lethal the atomic bomb would manifest. Period 4th
The United States was definitely justified for using the Atomic bombs on both, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, simply on obvious factors. First of which, is to save the lives of not only our hard fighting American soldiers, but the vicious enemy, the Japanese. Which is estimated to of saved nearly half a million of combined deaths for both American and Japanese soldiers/civilians. Second of, the Japanese had no issue with bombing our largest naval fleet which was located in Pearl Harbor, land full of American and military personnel. Third off, people seem to forget about our on edge friend, the Soviets, us Americans needed to show our power to the Soviets so they wouldn't think about attacking American soil like the Japanese. Alex & Christian Alex=Per.2 Christian=Per.6
The United States was not justified in dropping the atom bomb because the civilian casualties to Japan were huge, the effects of the radiation lasted years to come, and the aggressive display of nuclear power would be a leading factor to the arms race during the Cold War.

ReplyDeleteYou are off to a good start. You can find a lot of good information from these examples for your project!
My suggestions are:
make "bomb" plural (there were two)
"civilian casualties to Japan were huge" replace "huge" with a statistic
"lasted years to come" if you can find data on this, use it (how many years?
Put a semicolon after "because"

either include Hiroshima with Nagasaki, just say Japan, or discuss it separately, but do not forget to include it!
Try:
The United States was not justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan because; radiation and gas clouds resulted in the death of (give statistic here, how many civilians were killed?) innocent civilians, Japan's environment was affected for (give statistics here; how many years? what types of effects?), and the display of force led the Soviet Union to compete in an arms race with the United States following the war.

Dustin & Blakely,
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent start, but you have one giant run on sentence here. I suggest fixing it as follows:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Experts estimated that a land attack on Japan would result in over one million casualties (you will need to provide sources in your project to back this claim), the bombings established U.S. authority in the region which halted Soviet claims to territory occupied by Japan during the war, and (you need a third reason here. I suggest its assertion of the U.S. as a world power in an era of imperialism and reconstruction)
See me if you need help. With these topics, you can find good info for your project! -Mairs
Lauren & Tarah,
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is a great start and your topics are good, you just have grammar errors. Make sure you proof read your submission out loud for flow, this will prevent simple errors.
My suggestions:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because; the action put a quick end to the war and saved the lives of Japanese and Americans, a land attack would have forced the United States to borrow money to continue its war efforts (make sure you can prove this), and the show of force surpassed the effects of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, acting as a warning to other countries vying for power.
Neda & Claire,
ReplyDeleteThe United States was not justified in dropping the atom bomb because about 140,000 innocent people died, it cost the United States billions of dollars, and left Hiroshima and Nagasaki radioactive for many years after.
This is a solid and clean draft. The topics you mention will be easily researched and discussed in your project.
My suggestion are:
"atom bomb " make this plural-bombs (we dropped 2)
add on Japan (where did we drop the atomic bombs?)
"about 140,000 innocent people died" check this statistic and add injured people as well. Remove "about", there is a solid number
"left Hiroshima and Nagasaki radioactive for many years after."
add: the bombings
give a statistic for "for many years" how many years?
Excellent start! -Mairs

You are on the right track! -Mairs
Kenya & Alberto,
ReplyDeleteMy suggestions are:
"The United States was justified for (replace "for" with 'in') dropping the Atomic Bomb (bombs on Japan.) because (remove "because"), President Truman stated that the Atomic bombs were dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, (remove coma) to end the war with Japan and to save the lives of American soldiers. He (remove "He" and replace with 'Truman') told the American people that an invasion of Japan could have cost between 500,000 and 1,000,000 casualties (same argument as above), and to not use the bomb, (remove coma) would cause a huge loss of American lives (same argument as before).The atomic bomb they believed was the best solution."
Okay, you have one argument restated several times here. Keep the argument that a land attack on Japan would have cost more lives for both sides (estimated at 1 million). You need to find 2 more reasons that justify the use of the atomic bombs on Japan. See me if you need help. -Mairs
McKenzie & Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteYou have a good start, but you only have 2 arguments posted. You will need to add one more.
Try this:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan because; Japan denied the U.S. warnings about the use of the bombs and the offer of unconditional surrender, Japanese and American lives were saved by stopping the war before a land attack was pursued, and... (you need one more reason here. See me if you need help). -Mairs

I would make the following alterations:
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan. The Japanese were practicing total warfare, killing civilians and damaging other countries, a land attack would result in the loss of an estimated one million lives, and... (you need one more reason here).
See me if you need help finding a third reason. -Mairs

ReplyDeleteYou have one good point with simple grammatical errors. I suggest you make the following changes:
When United States dropped the atomic bombs on Japan surrender was immediate. The action stopped a ground attack and saved an estimated one million lives, (insert reason 2, and reason 3 here)...
Now you need 2 more reasons. See me if you need help on this. -Mairs
The United States was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for three reasons. The first reason was the desire to save American lives, the second was to get revenge on the Japanese for bombing Pearl Harbor, and lastly was to warn the Soviet Union of the power the U.S. military has.

The United States was unjustified in dropping the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they were using weapons without a complete knowledge of the effects, the aggressive use of the weapon lead to the cold war, and it gave President Truman away to justify the funds going into the Manhattan Project while avoiding congressional issues to promote his desire to a run for a second term in office.

The dropping of both atomic bombs by the United States was justified. If they had not dropped both bombs there would've been an invasion of Japan, which had been estimated to have human casualties in the millions.

ReplyDeletePeriod 4
During World War II, the U.S. decision to drop the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki was one of the most controversial decisions in U.S. history. The actions of President Truman were justified on the basis that total war had broken out, as evidenced by Japan's surprise attack on the U.S. and fire bombings over Tokyo that were claiming thousands of civilian lives. Ultimately, the atomic bombs ended the war by destroying Japanese cities and killing citizens, forcing Japan to surrender unconditionally.
The U.S. was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because Truman needed to end the war early to prevent a land invasion; thus saving American lives, he also hade to prove that the manhattan project wasn't a wast of money, and the whole country, including the president, wanted to get revenge for the attack on Pearl Harbor.

On December 7, 1941 Japan ambushed Pearl Harbor.

The Hiroshima bombings or the atomic bomb was unjustified because it brought the Soviet Union into the Pacific War on August 9, 1945. It killed 200,000 innocent Japanese civilians, who were already starving. It also caused severe strained relationships with the United States and Japan when there was already many Nisei and Issei, American and Japanese born, living in the United States that were placed into interment camps.

Period 4th
The United States was definitely justified for using the Atomic bombs on both, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, simply on obvious factors. First of which, is to save the lives of not only our hard fighting American soldiers, but the vicious enemy, the Japanese. Which is estimated to of saved nearly half a million of combined deaths for both American and Japanese soldiers/civilians.
ReplyDeleteSecond of, the Japanese had no issue with bombing our largest naval fleet which was located in Pearl Harbor, land full of American and military personnel. Third off, people seem to forget about our on edge friend, the Soviets, us Americans needed to show our power to the Soviets so they wouldn't think about attacking American soil like the Japanese.
