WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF ANSWER IS ORIGINAL In this lesson, you saw the vast differences in how World War II ended in the European and Pacific Theaters. Use this knowledge to explain the decision to use atomic bombs on Japan. For this assignment you will write three well-developed paragraphs on the following: What were the reasons the bomb should have been used on Japan?
What were the reasons the bomb should not have been used on Japan?
Should the atomic bomb have been used on Japan? Why or why not? Support your claim with evidence from the lesson.

Well, I'm not going to write your paragraphs for you because I wouldn't feel good about that. Too close to cheating. I will give you some of my notes though! I feel that these points are a good starting place for you to base your paragraphs on.

Reasons the bomb should have been used:  

•Force them to surrender

•Ultimately save many lives by swiftly ending the war

•As a demonstration of American strength

•Holding true to the promise that if Japan didn’t surrender, they would face annihilation.  

•As recompence for the bombing at Pearl Harbor.

Reasons the bomb should not have been used:  

•It would kill a ton of people.

•The negative effects would be long lasting.

• The radiation alone killed as many people as the initial bombing

•Many of the lives lost would be those of innocent people. Children, women, the disabled and the elderly.  

•200,000 casualties
