Ending WW2 in the Pacific Hiroshima & Nagasaki Ending WW2 in the Pacific

What is the price of victory? Can the Price be TOO HIGH?

Japan: The Invincible Island After the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Dec. 1942, Japan went on to conquer many areas of the Pacific. Japan took control of roughly 1 MILLION square miles and 150 MILLION people The Japanese were fierce fighters and their warrior culture forbid them from ever surrendering. They fought to the death.

Japan: The Invincible Island Not only were the Japanese fierce fighters, but they were cruel to their prisoners. Lt. John Spainhower, a POW, wrote: “They took me outside and I was forced to watch as 6 of my soldiers were buried alive. They made them dig their own graves, then had them kneel in the pit. The guards hit them over the head with shovels and piled the earth on top”. Source: World History Patterns of Interaction, pg 932

The United States Turns the Tide General Mcarthur, the American General, in charge of the war in the Pacific began to turn the tide against the Japanese. He ordered Allied Forces to ISLAND HOP across the Pacific past Japanese defenses. Not all battles could be avoided and casualties were tremendous on both sides

A Secret Weapon is Born Island Hopping, while successful, could not defeat the bulk of the Japanese military Pres. Harry Truman was told by his advisors that an invasion of the main Japanese island would cost at least 500,000 American lives. Truman had to make the most difficult decision, invade the island or use the most terrible weapon ever invented, the Atomic Bomb?

The Atomic Bomb was created by a top secret American program called the Manhattan Project. The bomb uses radioactive uranium to cause a massive explosion.

Big Boy and Little Man Truman made the decision to drop 2 atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki On Aug. 6th 1945 the bomber plane Enola Gay dropped the first bomb on Hiroshima

The Bomb Drops At 8:16 am the first bomb was dropped. The explosion was measured in the following ways: Ground Temp: 7000 F Wind: 980 miles/hr Energy released: 20,000 tons of TNT Buildings destroyed: 62,000 People killed: 70,000 instantly. 210,000 total
