Hirohito

I think the theme of One Crazy Summer is, that no matter how independent you are there will be times when you want or need some help and support. In the book Delphine is shown as an independent person who cares alot for her younger sisters. One time she shows this is when they are at the center for the first time and she defends Fern’s doll by saying “That’s not self-hatred. That’s her doll.” She also proved she was independent when she planned an entire day trip to Chinatown, The Fisherman’s…

Truman was the most important in the deciding factor of this situation. He was immediately thrown into this position after President Roosevelt's death on April 1, 1945 (Jennings). Though Truman didn't know much about the situation, he was one hundred percent confused, he knew the war had to end so American lives could be saved, even though he was aware that alternatives to using the bomb existed (Bird). If Truman had been more informed on the atomic bomb, he might have made a better decision,…

more would later die of radiation exposure. This devastated Japan and showed how much power the U.S. holds and is willing to unleash. Three days later, a second plane dropped another bomb on Nagasaki killing over 40,000 people. After this attack, Hirohito, unconditionally surrendered to the United States seeing that this is the best option for his people seeing the U.S. would stop at nothing to win the war after the second bombing. The U.S. had finally received justice for the brutal unprepared…

In this essay, there will be numerous topics covered within the main topic: the atomic bombs being dropped in Japan. There were multiple targets, but only two had been picked out in the end: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hiroshima had been the first to be bombed, Nagasaki being the second after the Emperor chose not to surrender to the United States until after the bombing. There were hundreds of thousands dead after the bombing, most being the civilians who died on impact. Many people had gone…

07:25 hours. It was cold. It normally was that high in the sky. Ocima Iwominso was a Japanese pilot of a torpedo bomber in 1941. He flew in formation with many other planes. They all knew their target a military base on a small Pacific chain in the middle of the ocean.Ocima knew he only had one order, aim for the ships. They wanted to cripple the fleet of the country that controlled this island. He looked at the clock in his plane, the time was 07:55. They were only a few minutes away from the…

On September 27, 1940, the Japanese signed the Tripartite Pact, becoming an official member of the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis - or the Axis Alliance. The Axis of Germany, Italy, and Japan became key participants in World War II (“Axis Alliance in World War II”). While a war was fought in the Pacific and Europe, various things were unfolding in the homelands of the many countries involved in the war. When the war began in September, 1939, Japan, an empire that had already conquered Manchuria in 1937…

From a 21st century perspective there is a lot to consider when discussing the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan. When choosing to bomb an entire nation to shambles to protect personal interests one has to look at all the accounts associated with it. While the united stated may try to rationalize the reasoning behind its actions, the bombing of Japan during World War II will never be justified.

For a state to be considered a democracy, it must have a government in which adult citizens exercise power and civic responsibility,…

On August 6, 1945 at 2:45 a.m. a United States Air Force propeller-driven, four-engine Boeing B-29 aircraft lifted off from the unassuming island of Tinian in the Northern Mariana Islands. The plotted course of the aircraft that we now know infamously as the Enola Gay was due north with instructions to drop its contents. Inside, as was customary for a Boeing Super Fortress, was a bomb. However, unlike the bombs that the U.S. Air Force had scorched Japan for roughly a year with during World War…
