Effects Of The Bombing Of Japan

Decent Essays
I would disagree with the bombing of Japan, the after effects of the atomic bombs left many wounds that cannot be healed. The bombing was selfish and was not thought through.
Research shows that the bombing on Japan killed 90 000 – 146 000 people in Hiroshima and 39 000 – 80 000 in Nagasaki. This bombing killed innocent citizens in Japan. We can agree that Japan had attacked The American naval Pacific fleet in Pearl Harbour although, Japan wouldn’t have attacked unless America had done something to Japan to cause the attack. America had it coming, America had been warned. When Japan had unconditionally surrendered to America it was because of all the deaths that occurred in that country it was tragic to most and traumatic.
Besides all the deaths

    As was mentioned above, there are of course alternate theories as to why the Japanese people attacked the American Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor. One such theory states that the Japanese attacked the Americans at Pearl Harbor to keep the US out of the war by crippling its Pacific fleet . This theory makes some sense at least at the most basic level of analysis. Japan had joined Germany and Italy in the war effort. Also, the Japanese and Germans were gambling that the US could not fight a war on two fronts and win.…

    In 1945, Japan was attacked with an Atomic Bomb. President Truman advised the bombs to be in place when bombing Japan. I believe that Truman should have done things differently before the bombing, but I also believe that he should have bombed Japan, but, I’m in a strong belief that they shouldn’t have bombed Japan. The reasons I believe that they shouldn’t be, they could have worked out a better form of issues to resolve, bombed it differently without the use of Atomic bombs, and lastly, let the Japanese people live in America. Japan and the United States should have resolved issues so they wouldn’t need to go to war.…
