Model Essay Student’s Name Section Number Why the Atomic Bombs Saved Japan. The decision to use nuclear weapons to stop the War in the Pacific by President Harry S. Truman in August, 1945 remains controversial to this day. Most of Truman’s critics, the so-called revisionist historians, argue that Japan wanted to surrender and had already been defeated, making the use of atomic bombs unnecessary. They say the bombs were used mainly to demonstrate America’s power to intimidate the Soviet Union. The historians who support Truman, sometimes called the traditionalists, agree that Japan had been defeated but argue that Japan was not ready to surrender and was, in fact, preparing for one last great battle that would have cost millions of lives.
Exposure to high levels of radioactive waste can cause birth defects, cancer, and death. We all need to be aware of these dangers that exist across the country. It is imperative that we rethink our visual communication effort for warning current and future generations of the imminent danger below. The comic strip is a great medium to get across a point to many levels of audiences. In this cartoon I attempt to send the message that nuclear power will kill everything, even innocent cockroaches.
In fact, the debates behind using the atomic bombs against Japan began even before the decision was made. Many of the scientists such as Leo Szilard and Dr. James Franck, who made great contributions towards the creation of the bomb, campaigned against its use. President Truman said “We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Amercicans”. It is completely understandable that President Truman’s aim was always to save the lives as many American people, but was it necessary to do it by dropping the atomic bombs on Japan? And was the reason behind the decision to drop the two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki purely to ‘save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans’?
On his third visit, Jack escapes with a singing harp, but as he climbs down the stalk, the harp calls out for her master who begins climbing down after Jack. Jack reaches his house just in time to chop down the beanstalk with an axe, causing the death of the ogre.

In the beginning of the story Jack is portrayed as a very young boy who lives with his widowed mother. The widow’s cow, Milky-white, stopped giving milk one morning and so the family had to find a new source of income.
This developed until a confrontation, from Western and Eastern Europe, in a nuclear arms race. Moreover, the decisions made by the ‘Big Three’ at the international conferences in Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam between 1943 and 1945 contributed to the deterioration of relations between American and the USSR. At the Yalta conference, February 1945, Germany had not been defeated so it was split into four zones of occupation by Britain, France, America, Russia and free elections were allowed in Eastern Europe: the Declaration of the Liberated. Also, Russia joined the UN and promised to help defeat Japan after Germany was defeated. Later that year in Potsdam, many open disagreements took place because Germany had lost the war so Russia had promised to fulfil, Churchill had lost the 1945 election and Roosevelt died so Truman, who replaced him was angered by the large scale reparations imposed on Germany and the setting up of a communist government in Poland.
This monkey was brought to America some years later, and then spat water on Jimbo who was trying to sell it to a pet storeowner, Rudy. Later he bit Rudy, and spread the virus to him. He also bit into a banana that another monkey in the pet store later bit into. Jimbo then flew to Boston, where he spread the virus to his girlfriend and they both ended up dying. The Rudy’s blood then spills onto a lab worker’s face when he breaks the tube in the centrifuge and the virus then gets into his system.
After spring 1945, with Japan in an extremely weak position, the United States was considering the following ways of bringing the long war to an end: invade the Japanese mainland in November 1945, ask the Soviet Union to join the war against Japan, assure continuation of the emperor system, or use the atomic bomb. The U.S. believed that if the atomic bomb could end the war, Soviet influence after the war would be restricted and domestically the tremendous cost of development would be justified. (1) After Germany's surrender, tension mounted between the U.S. and the Soviet Union regarding the disposition of postwar Europe. The U.S. began worrying about the increased influence the Soviets would obtain if they joined the war against Japan in mid-August as planned. The U.S. believed that if the atomic bomb ended the war, the U.S. would establish postwar supremacy over the Soviets.
There are many statements and arguments that suggest that the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima was necessary to end World War II. Such as the Japanese were not surrendering, they still had fighting power as they had sunk U.S. Naval Ship Indianapolis only two days before the bombing Many of this argument can be counted as the only reason the Japanese weren’t surrendering is because they didn’t want to give up there emperor to the “unconditional surrender”, they practically had nothing left. They were sending their battleships and pilots out on suicide missions as they were desperate. Necessity of the bomb lies with the amount of people that would have been killed in a land invasion, although it was vastly exaggerated.
When I hear the word war, the things that first come out in my mind were destructions, deaths, famine, guns and terrors. If we are going to look back in our history, a lot of wars had happened. One of those was “the bombing of Pearl Harbor drew ire of the people of the United States. The bombing was regarded as treacherous, and it was just a matter of time that the Americans would declare war against Japan.” (Muhi and Maguigad 169) The US – Japan war was one of the most known destructive wars. It greatly affects the life of the Japanese and the other nationalist because the missile that was launched emits radiation which affects lots of people.
Upon learning the full scope of what the results if the Manhattan Project was successful, General Groves was so shocked, at first, he wanted nothing to do with command. However after reflecting and seeing beyond the moment, as leaders must do, he realized that the power of an atomic bomb in the right hands could end the war once and for all (McKain 21). On September 1942, General Leslie Grove became officer in charge of the Manhattan Project and along with Oppenheimer agreed the project required an isolated area, so the first informative action was purchasing the Oak Ridge complex so workers could attempt to separate two isotopes of uranium. This decision allowed the Atomic bomb to be made more efficient and at a reduced cost (Beyer 50). Oak Ridge became the center where all of the different segments could be assembled and test the power of the atomic
