It brought an almost immediate end to the war and hypothetically saved thousands of lives. Without the atomic bombs, the Japanese leaders might have dragged the war out, refusing to surrender. Moreover, the bombings could be seen as falling in line with the concept of “total war.” The decision by the United States to drop atomic bombs on Japan was justifiable based on three factors: the desire to save American and Japanese lives, to end World War II quickly, and to demonstrate the power of the US military. Harry Truman,

Do you agree with the view that the Great War resulted in a revolution in the art of warfare for the British army? Throughout the First World War, there were numerous technological and tactical advances, many of which had not been seen or used by military forces before. Between the start of the war in 1914 and the end of the war in 1918, the changes in tactics and technology was huge, thus creating a new never before seen type of warfare. From looking at the sources, we can see both sources 7 and 8 agree with the view that the Great war resulted in a revolution in the art of warfare, whereas source 9 disagrees. As we see in source 7, Captain D. Kelly states ‘The attack gave a striking proof of the also make mentions of the advancements of the British army’.
New inventions that were discovered in the era of World War I made fighting techniques more efficient. This war was the turning points for new and useful weapons. Before this point the methods to warfare were very simple and straight forward, now with planes in the air creating a whole other dimensions to tactics and strategy, tanks that covered the ground, and torpedoes in the water. Times were changing and if you were lagging behind you may have been defeated by other nations. Some of the biggest changes to the scenes was the invention of machine guns, poisonous gases/ chemical warfare, and trench warfare.

Another effect of 9/11 is that it has made terrorism studies “now one of the fastest expanding areas of research in the English-speaking academic world”.

New York rather than London became the world’s financial capital. This shows the war had a positive impact on the USA as they were increasingly depended on as trade suppliers and giving out loans to Europe, this meant that the USA’s economy benefited greatly as money was being spent on trade and interest was added onto the loans which meant they would receive more money than in they hadn’t loaned it out. When war broke out in 1914, the size of the United States army was relatively small at 120,000 strong. One of the first actions taken by the US government was to increase the size of the army through the selective service act. This introduced conscription via what became known as the draft.
Thesis Paragraph. Contrary to popular belief, sectionalism was not of greater significance during the Era of Good Feelings. In fact, nationalism was more so superior during this time period.
