Lower Manhattan

In a altitude of 306 meters, there is a inscription of the defeat reason summary. “Due to the United State used atomic bomb and Soviet Union disobey the Non-aggression treaty, and as well as the resources shortages and some other reason, Japan could not defeat.” Japan thought they lost because the United State drop the atomic bomb. In my opinion, I support for what President Truman did. Truman made a correct choice. It didn’t really matter whether for President Truman save the lives of…

Society and historians have a variety of theories and an opinion to why atomic weapons were used. One explanation is Truman’s the bombs were used as an alternative to an invasion on Japan soil. An attack overseas attack would cost even more American lives. Another explanation is based on military approach and Truman’s desire for a speedy American victory. The longer the war, the more lives of Americans lost. Some theorize that the bombs were used to intimidate the Soviet Union at an attempt to…

On September 2, 1945, Japan formally surrendered to the allies effectively ending World War II and the Axis-Alliance. Not only did the war end on that day, but it also triggered an arms race for the most powerful weapon known to man, the hydrogen bomb. One of the top “competitors” for this race was the Soviet Union, or the U.S.S.R. The American government feared a nuclear war with another nation right after a world war, so the government had the House Un-American Activities Committee watch and…

taken months to complete the invasion and there was also a chance the the US would lose. If only there was another option to end the war faster and without all the lives lost. Then came the Manhattan Project and the newly developed atomic bomb. July 16, 1945 they conducted the Trinity Test. The leaders of the Manhattan Project dropped an atomic bomb in Alamogordo, New Mexico and watched the blinding flash and gigantic mushroom cloud rise from the desert floor. President Truman had an immense…

device could give them the edge to win the war against the allies. This rumor triggered fear with American scientists and physicists and caused president Roosevelt to create a project to research and develop their own weapon before the Nazis. The Manhattan project was created to research and develop technology with the destructive force to exterminate mankind and a psychological impact that changed the world forever. Nuclear Fission was discovered using uranium in 1938 by Otto Hahn and Fritz…

Things that I believe that Truman had on his mind during dropping the bomb is how many people he could kill if he were to do that. I also think that he had a lot of consideration that maybe it was the wrong decision that maybe he shouldn’t have made. It also didn’t help that he wasn’t aware of the citation until FDR died and he needed to take over as president. He didn’t have much time to think if it was the right thing to do. He did what he thought was the best thing for the American people.…

A lot of our history has consisted of a lot of mistakes that have caused loss of life, hatred, and chaos. These mistakes have mostly been made by people, leaders, and governments who are so caught up in their emotions that they don’t think of the consequences that their actions will cause. In John Hersey’s Hiroshima, Hersey uses our past differences to consider the effects of actions on innocent people, so that nations will only use atomic or highly destructive weapons as a last resort.…

London has been continuously evolving as one of the world’s most vibrant and busiest cities to date. As it continues to advance economically and socially, it is hard for the city not to demolish the buildings that have always been a part of London’s heritage and replace them with more modern buildings to blend…

Thousands of conspiracies arise every day, but it’s your choice to believe them or not. Do you believe in the Philadelphia experiment? I personally do. How is it possible for a great amount of human beings to have detailed knowledge about something that is labeled a hoax? The smartest man in the world, Steven Hawking doubts it is possible to come up with such detailed evidence or documents. The Philadelphia experiment conspiracy theory is a worldwide experiment that took place during World War…

Were bombs always this powerful or have evolved this much over time? In Hiroshima we dropped an atomic bomb now we have nuclear bombs. Which makes us ask, how were we changed by war? In Hiroshima an a-bomb was dropped and it changed the lives of many people. We are all heavily changed by war because of fear, technology, and our own experiences. War has heavily impacted the lives of many, this means that war has changed us in many ways. Some of the ways that war has changed us is by our…
