Would you have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan?

The residents in Hiroshima was given a fair warning to leave prior to the bombings. Many ignored the warning leaflets. What else you expect from a well-cited source that is given good reviews.

http://books.google.com/books?id=Sr6nn47... As for your questions...... 1) Why have you drop the Atomic Bomb in 1945 to Japan instead of Germany? Because We are Yellow,right? Answer: Wrong, because the A-bomb wasn't finished until late May of 1945, Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945.

It had nothing to do with racism. I doubt the bombing of Dresden and Berlin indicates they would? Have been unwilling to use a nuclear weapon on fellow white people.

2)You may say "Japan started the war,we ended the war using Atomic Bomb". No no no. First,you white people have been trying to colonize Asia include Japan from the Age of Discovery you imposed unequal treaty like Japan-US Treaty of Peace and Amity 1854.

So we Japanese just resisted it on behalf of Asia. Answer: First off, whites never colonize the whole continent of Asia and kill millions of people for the sake of killing them and they NEVER intent to colonize Japan. Japan became a world power after defeating Russia in 1905 and China in 1895.

True, Britain colonized Hong Kong, India, Singapore, France colonized Vietnam, and the U.S. colonized the Philippines for resources and trade but I don't think they went into their countries and committed an act of violence against the innocent people for a decade and it certainly doesn't excuse Japan from acting the same way as Western countries do. 3) "because Japan killed chinese and korean..." so why did you not drop the Atomic Bomb to Germany they have killed many jew? Germans was worse than Japan in WW2.

1 - The Germans had formally surrendered on 8th of May, 1945, Japanese forces did not stop military action even 3 months after the German surrender, which prompted President Truman to authorise the atomic bombings after considering the huge casualty of a naval and land invasion of the Japanese home islands. 2 - Japan was an independent world superpower comparable to the West by the end of WWI (1918). China and various Asian regions were also subjugated by European forces, did they go on to commit atrocities in WWII?

Did they murder 30 million civilians across Asia? 3 - Purely statistically, Japan killed more civilians than the Holocaust - Japanese forces murdered 22 million civilians in China alone, and don't get me started on atrocities like the Nanking Massacre, rape and killing of (pregnant) women, children and elderly, and the war crimes of Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese Army. 4 - The Allied forces already issued the Potsdam Declaration as an ultimatum on Japan to surrender on the 26th of July, 1945.

The Japanese high command and Emperor Hirohito were fully aware of the Allied communications, and ignored them. After bombing Hiroshima the Japanese military command still issued no surrender, despite Truman's urgent and dire warning of further bombings. Fliers were dropped to Japan announcing to the public of planned bombing of 12 cities, so Japan was fully aware of possible future bombings, and took no heed of the warning.

This forced Truman to order the second bombing, on Nagasaki, which finally prompted the Japanese command to unconditionally surrender. ----------------------------------- Because you're "yellow"? You killed 30 million of your fellow Asians, and ALL CIVILIANS, unarmed, vulnerable CIVILIANS.

What right do you have to say of racism when Japan was the most racist, xenophobic and fascist state that threatened to wash Asia in blood and horror? YOU FORCED the Allied powers their hand. If Japan never murdered 30 million people, do you think the Allied forces would have any reason to attack Japan?

If Fascism never existed, do you think the Allied forces would be forced to create something as deadly as the atomic bombs? It means Japan and Germany were so dangerous and horrifying they warranted the use of a weapon equally horrifying to stop the spread of fascism - YOUR ACTIONS CAUSED YOUR OWN DEMISE. Are all Japanese people like this?

Have Japan learned nothing from WWII? What if this ignorance will cause Japan to repeat history?

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.
