The Atomic Bomb on Japan
World War II began on September 1, 1939 when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. Three days later Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany when Hitler refused to withdraw from Poland. On December 7, 1942 the United States joined the war after Japan made a surprise attack and virtually destroyed the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. The United States practically went head to head with Japan in the South Pacific. The war was finally ended on August 9, 1945 after the U.S. dropped two atomic bombs over Japan. One was over the city of Hiroshima and the other was over the city of Nagasaki. According to the History Channel and numerous other sources people have asked if it was right to totally destroy two Japanese cities and kill hundreds of thousands of people? In my opinion it was because it destroyed the Japanese will to fight, it saved many American lives, and effectively ended World War II. Dropping the atomic bomb on Japan destroyed the Japanese will to fight. There are some that say the only reason it destroyed t
Although many innocent people died with the dropping of the atomic bomb, it did a lot of good also. This new weapon was called the kamikaze pilot. While it did kill innocent people, I do not believe that it was the reason that their will to fight was destroyed. People may say that it was wrong because most of the people killed were civilians. The Zero Fighter was very lightly armored. You may think that I am heartless for saying that, but we are all entitled to our own opinions. It ended the war, saved American lives, and prevented the Japanese from wanting to fight to continue to fight. This was not a new bomb or gun, this was a pilot intentionally flying his plane into American ships to try and destroy them. Had we tried to invade Japan I wholeheartedly believe, along with many others, that many of the same people that were killed in the atomic blast would have tried to repel the invading force. Even after the first bomb was dropped, they still didn't surrender. This is also proof that the Japanese fight to the death and never surrender. The Japanese considered it a great honor to die for their country and emperor. To that I say that in times of war, innocent people sometimes die.
