Ya know what. Take the time to watch the HBO Series "The Pacific. "It's really good and you'll get an idea why.
Japan's generals were planning to defend the obvious invasion and the use of the two nuclear bombs killed only 200,000-250,000 people. Only. If they had not been developed, the U.S.Would have invaded Japan (with Russia) and the JAPANESE DEATHS ALONE WOULD HAVE BEEN 1,000,000+, of those mostly children, besides the Allied deaths of probably a quarter million, at least.
Those two, fat man and little boy, saved many lives.
Because the atom bomb really packed a wallop. One bomb could kill a whole city.
The war had dragged on for four years, Germany had surrendered, the Japanese intended to fight until the last man alive was dead. Truman ended the war instantly to save lives (so he said at the time). Many years after the war had ended, they pulled a Japanese soldier out of a tunnel in the South Pacific.
He had no idea the war was over; that's how determined they were not to surrender.
They felt it was needed to stop the war, to stop the war deaths as the Japanese were very determined to never give up. In addition to it being a weapon of mass destruction, the bomb was a psychological weapon. It showed Japan the great power of the US.It gave them no option but to surrender, as now they could see what would happen if they didn't.
At the time, the Japanese were thought of as less than human. If you look at the propaganda from the time it's quite shocking to see nowadays. I'm kind of surprised that the Japanese don't hate us for what happened.
While the bomb had been tested and they knew it was an extremely powerful weapon, I don't think the US really knew how devastating the bombing would be.
They used everything they could to end the war.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
