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.
