Crafting a thesis statement on the controversial topic of dropping the atomic bomb is undeniably

challenging. The intricacies of historical events, moral considerations, and political ramifications
make it a subject that demands thorough research and nuanced analysis. Many students find
themselves grappling with the complexity of this topic, struggling to articulate a clear and compelling
argument within the confines of a thesis statement.

The decision to drop the atomic bomb during World War II remains one of the most contentious and
debated issues in modern history. Proponents argue that it hastened the end of the war, saving
countless lives that would have been lost in a prolonged conflict. On the other hand, critics condemn
it as an egregious act of mass destruction that resulted in the loss of innocent civilian lives and set a
dangerous precedent for future conflicts.

Navigating these opposing viewpoints and synthesizing them into a coherent thesis statement
requires not only a deep understanding of the historical context but also a keen awareness of the
ethical implications involved. It demands rigorous research, critical thinking, and the ability to weigh
evidence from multiple perspectives.

to prevent other countries from developing the bomb as well. The Japanese were already defeated,”
was what Admiral D. The bomb was made with out conscious realisation that the scientists were
creating a weapon: it was simply something they were told to create, an invention as it were. “My
feeling was something like, “Well it worked!” There’s no great emotion to that, except that it worked.
The understanding of the weapon’s capabilities and consequences was insufficient. On August 6th,
1945, the Littleboy atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima resulting in seventy thousand deaths
caused by a bright flash of light and heat. Further debates have been had on whether President
Truman had made his own decision or did her just carry on the decision that President Roosevelt
wanted to put into action. This also shows that President Truman has no doubts that he did the only
thing he could have done to stop the war, which the Japanese Started when the bombed Pearl
Harbour to make an empire in the Far East. Japan, being an Island nation reliant on its navy, which
served as the backbone of its military power and protected trade routes during World War II, was
unable to sustain itself. During the conference, the Allies demanded Japan’s unconditional surrender
and issued the “Potsdam Declaration,” which warned about “prompt and total destruction” if Japan
did not comply. (The Potsdam Conference, 1945) However, Japan rejected this declaration, leading
Truman to authorize the use of atomic weapons. The explosion’s strength was greater than twenty
thousand tons of TNT and could be seen from a distance of over two hundred miles. (Atomic Bomb-
Truman Press Release) Afterward, President Truman met with other Allied commanders in Potsdam,
Germany to negotiate terms for ending World War II. So, from this perspective, far from shortening
the war, the bomb may have lengthened it by a few weeks, by motivating Truman to reject Japan’s
overtures for peace. (Yes, apparently he rejected them, in July!) But of course once the Russians
declared war on Japan, the Americans wanted peace immediately. As for Nagasaki, even Alperovitz’s
scholarly excavations unearth no rational reason for its bombing so soon after Hiroshima, before
giving the Japanese significant time to respond. Canada’s contribution to the August 6, and the

atomic bombs was necessary to end a deadly US-involved war, the aftermath of the weapon
remained largely unknown. Despite Japan’s unnecessary surrender and defeat, the United States
committed war crimes in modern times by utilizing atomic bombs on Japan. Thus, the body bags and
Purple Hearts were not needed. The bombings caused the death of one hundred thousand civilians in
just one night, which is comparable to the casualties resulting from the atomic bombs dropped on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Japanese assumed the emperor, Hirohito and the Japanese officials
would be eliminated. One of the main arguments against the use of the Atomic bomb was the
accusation that its purpose was for scientific research. The decision to use the bomb at all was
militarily unnecessary, as high-level generals and advisers stated years later and argued in private at
the time. They could have demonstrated the atomic bomb's power on a deserted area of Japan rather
than killing hundreds of thousands of people. With Germany defeated and the Allied Forces ready
for the cease-fire, only the Axis power of Japan stood in the way of the end of the World War.
Forty five years later in 1990, Gallup conducted another poll and recorded 53% of Americans
approving the bombings with 41% disapproving the bombings. Conversely, others believe that
dropping the atomic bomb was an abuse of power by Harry Truman for political purposes and not
entirely essential. The bomb dropped at a temperature which vaporized any human at ground zero,
turning their bodies into charred, horrific statues. A weapon of this much destruction had never been

the UK and USA were unwilling to have Russia take any part in the carve-up of Japan in the post-
war years, primarily because it was a notoriously Communist nation. “Stalin was poised to hurl his
troops against the Japanese.
The Japanese had such views as well, disproving this reason becoming common ground for both
parties. “The Americans could have won without using atomic bombs,” was a quote from the
Secretary to the Japanese War Minister in 1963, a view which could have been made in hind sight.
Despite Japan’s unnecessary surrender and defeat, the United States committed war crimes in
modern times by utilizing atomic bombs on Japan. Again with no large contribution to the war
efforts, Nagasaki was destroyed. Since then, both August 14 and August 15 have been known as
“Victoryover Japan Day,” or simply “V-J Day.”. Japan had no means to regain their lost islands

were vaporised and some genetic aberrations have been passed down in some families; it can take
hundreds of years or more for radiation to actually break down. Since the Japanese were trying to
take over China, they knew it would be a bit easier for them to do it because it would be harder for us
to get to Japan and stop them if they destroyed the American Navy in Pearl Harbor. These were
raised by many government officials to stop the media hassling them about whether they felt guilty.
Surely if there was such opposition to them, something was horribly wrong. The scholar instead
extends the definition of genocide to what he calls, and includes the major part of deaths from the
atom bombings in these. Further debates have been had on whether President Truman had made his
own decision or did her just carry on the decision that President Roosevelt wanted to put into action.
Japan could then be asked to surrender,” was written on a note from American nuclear scientists to
the government in June 1945 but would probably be seen as throwing away money. More than 2,000
Americans soldiers died in the attack. Ultimately confirmed incorrect, the justification for using the
Nuclear weapon to assertively end the war seems effortlessly tolerable. Please include what you were

essay, I shall attempt to reason through gathered evidence and answer the controversial question on
whether Truman should have pushed the button. This justifies the United States decision to bomb
Japan, because the United States gave enough fair warning before blowing up two islands and taking
the lives of innocent people, the Japanese are the ones who ignored the warning and remained put.
The realisation of what he had just done would have left the pilot feeling dreadful guilt, shame and
remorse. By demonstrating Stalin that Uranium and Plutonium bombs would work in combat
condition, they would have a better chance of killing more people than just a regular atomic bomb.
Three days later another Atom bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. Canada mined and
refined the uranium, provided a safe place to research, far away from the front lines and one of the
scientists was Canadian. Meanwhile, only 26 percent of our nation’s students in public school are
