Atomic Bomb 2
The United States Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb Throughout history many important decisions have been made that have had a great impact on the world and culture. One outstanding decision was Harry S. Truman’s decision to drop the atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. This decision had drastic effects throughout the world and brought an end to the war and Japan’s imperial empire. The United states had no choice but to enter World War II after their naval base in Pearl Harbor had been bombed. “The war was converted into a global conflict when Japan struck at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7 of the same year (1941)” (Burns 1030). President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to the incident as “ a date that will live in infamy”. Immediately after the bombing the US armed forces were mobilized and made their way towards the Pacific and European theaters. Although victory in Europe occurred on May 7, 1945, the war in the pacific would wage on for four additional months. Between the United States entering the war on December 11, 1941 until its end, they would follow a strategy of “island hopping” in the pacific. They would advance to Japan capturing any helpful islands on the way
