Doing the atomic project would have been a lot simpler if I had the right to my opinion, I had to take an opinion of another and learn their side of the story. then I was told to "write a persuasive essay on your (not really your) opinion."
This is how I started it...

The decision for the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan was a good one. The war was taking its toll on America and the Japanese wouldn’t give up even thought they were clearly defeated they still wouldn’t stop fighting a one sided battle. If America hadn’t dropped the atomic bomb “hundreds of thousands - perhaps millions - would have perished in the planned U.S. invasion of Japan.” After the bombing the war immediately ended and so did the great depression.
Because of the war going on between countries America wasn’t very interested in joining because they were going thought the great depression. But the governments and its citizen’s minds were changed when Pearl Harbor was attacked. “At 7:53 a.m., the first Japanese assault wave, with 51 'Val' dive bombers, 40 'Kate' torpedo bombers, 50 high level bombers and 43 'Zero' fighters, commences the attack with flight commander, Mitsuo Fuchida, sounding the battle cry: "Tora! Tora! Tora!" (Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!).The Americans are taken completely by surprise. The first attack wave targets airfields and battleships. The second wave targets other ships and shipyard facilities. The air raid lasts until 9:45 a.m. Eight battleships are damaged, with five sunk. Three light cruisers, three destroyers and three smaller vessels are lost along with 188

aircraft. The Japanese lose 27 planes and five midget submarines which attempted to penetrate the inner harbor and launch torpedoes. Escaping damage from the attack are the prime targets, the three U.S. Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers, Lexington, Enterprise and Saratoga, which were not in the port. Also escaping damage are the base fuel tanks. The casualty list includes 2,335 servicemen and 68 civilians killed, with 1,178 wounded. Included are 1,104 men aboard the Battleship USS Arizona killed after a 1,760-pound air bomb penetrated into the forward magazine causing catastrophic explosions.” Immediately after America went to war. “Well they shouldn’t have started it!”
If we didn’t drop the atomic bomb thousands of American soldiers would have died. That would have been tens of thousands of children without a parents and wives without husbands. We had a plan, an original plan if the bomb didn’t work out. “The Americans were planning Operation Downfall, the invasion of the main islands, which never happened due to the controversial decision to use the atomic bomb.” they only took over one island which was Okinawa. In the end Americans won but, “According to published figures, a total of 12,513 American troops lost their lives in the battle for Okinawa. There were

also over 60,000 wounded, of which several thousand did not survive their wounds.” could you imagine how much that number would multiply if we invaded the other islands. That’s thousands of lives of solders saved and thousands of children who can keep their parents and wives that can keep their husbands.
“Starting almost immediately after the conclusion of World War II, and continuing to the present day, the dropping of atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has been questioned. Their use has been called barbarian since, besides destroying a military base and a military industrial center, tens of thousands of civilians were killed.” “In reply, defenders of the decision to use the bombs say that it is almost certain that the Japanese would not have surrendered without their use, and that hundreds of thousands - perhaps millions - would have perished in the planned U.S. invasion of Japan. To support their argument, they point out that the Japanese agreed to surrender only after the second bomb was dropped, when it was evident that the first was not an isolated event, and future prospects were for a continuing rain of such bombs. Actually, the U.S. did not have another atomic bomb ready after the bombing of Nagasaki due the difficulty of producing fissile material. Regarding the suggestion of a demonstration, they

maintain that, given the mind-set of the Japanese at the time, it is unlikely that any conceivable benign demonstration would have induced surrender.” and we know that they wouldn’t given up because, in the battle of Okinawa “there were about 100,000 Japanese killed or captured; many preferred suicide to the disgrace of capture. So if they were willing to kill themselves then they have enough fight to not give up any time soon.
Now I understand why some people disagree with the atomic bomb. The reasons why they chose to use it and the amount of destruction it caused. I understand that it appeared that the Japanese were already defeated, and that there was no reason to use the bomb. And that it killed a lot of innocent civilians. Well for the most part, my grandfather who was involved in the war he would answer with “well they shouldn’t have started it!” he is right though they bombed Pearl Harbor and even though it was a military base there were many civilians as well. The rule of not harming civilians is a universal one; they broke the rule first so the Japanese army and government are at fault for the deaths of their citizens aren’t they? Like I explained already they had valid reasons for the use of the atomic bomb, it would end the war, also the plan they were going to use would kill thousands of soldiers and don’t forget the

Doing the atomic project would have been a lot simpler if I had the right to my opinion, I had to take an opinion of another and learn their side of the story. then I was told to "write a persuasive essay on your (not really your) opinion."
This is how I finished it...


Japanese didn’t give up until the second bombing which means they had no intentions giving up the first. The reason we specifically decided to bomb in Nagasaki was that “The city of Nagasaki had been one of the largest sea ports in southern Japan and was of great war-time importance because of its many and varied industries, including the production of ordnance, ships, military equipment, and other war materials. The narrow long strip attacked was of particular importance because of its industries.” The reason we bombed Hiroshima was because “Hiroshima was a city of considerable military importance. It contained the 2nd Army Headquarters, which commanded the defense of all of southern Japan. The city was a communications center, a storage point, and an assembly area for troops.” even if there were civilians “well they shouldn’t have started it!”
Lastly and I think I proved my point, the decision for the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan was a good one. The war was taking its toll on America and the Japanese wouldn’t give up even thought they were clearly defeated they still wouldn’t stop fighting a one sided battle. If America hadn’t dropped the atomic bomb “hundreds of thousands - perhaps millions - would have perished in the planned U.S. invasion of Japan.” After the bombing the war immediately ended and so did the great depression.

I was doing a project about the atomic bomb and this is the report I wrote about the aftermath of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima Japan and Nagasaki, Japan in the summer of 1945
