No! Well to a certain extent. The Japanese did attack Pearl Harbour and many armed military members did die during the attack but they didn't kill any off your citizens, at least not a whole lot. But killing 256,000 innocent people and injuring countless more is a little harsh! besides the US is the only country to use a Nuclear Bomb against civilians! Think about it!

What is the constitution of japan?

Some provisions in Japan's new constitution were equality, the separation of church and state, and the prohibition of slavery. Also, citizens had the right to a fair trial and freedom of expression.


Was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor fair?

FAIR??? Their ambassadors were in the middle of assuring the U.S. that they had no interest in expanding into the Pacific. Japan had already invaded many of the islands closer to Japan and there was some concern that they might want to establish their strength in the middle of the Pacific. Hawaii was a perfect place to control all shipping in the area and they figured that the U.S. was too busy with Europe to be able to defend Hawaii. No, their attack was cowardly and deceitful.


What are the pros of the dropping of the Atomic bomb?

This may just be opinion to many including my self, but the pros to dropping the atom bomb on Japan were these: 1. It ended the war since Germany had already surrendered. 2. It killed many Japanese people, innocent or other wise. I do realize as we look back now, this is wrong, but back in the 1940's it looked at as though it was the right thing to do, and in a sense it was. I mean, hello, they did attack us at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th, 1941, and for what reason? Because they didn't want us to join the war. They thought by attacking us that it would hurt our pride and then we wouldn't want to fight, where in the end they made themselves loose because at that time, we weren't planning to join the war. I know it is not many reasons, but i hope you understand. this was a war that changed the course of the U.S.A, while you are in war what is the object? TO WIN! The goal of the atom bomb was to get the war over and guess what, it did. It is very easy for some to look back and harshly judge our actions in World War II. Is this fair? No. Many people today fail to give the spirit of the times proper respect. If you were not there, or if you have not fully investigated the whole situation, you cannot apply a truly fair and accurate judgment. This war had been going on for years. 400,000 Americans had already been killed in action. It had to end. The truth of the matter is this: the atomic attack on Japan saved lives - Allied and Japanese. The Japanese were not going to surrender. A war of attrition was their mindset. Their ports were blockaded. Nothing was being shipped in or out. They, essentially, were going to starve. The fire bombings of Japan throughout the summer of 1945 (which actually killed far, far more Japanese than the atomic attacks) did nothing to convince military leadership to surrender. Added to this fact is the gruesome reality of what an Allied mainland Japan invasion would mean. 1,000,000 Allied lives was projected. Whether you believe that figure or not, just watch "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers" and imagine those invasion scenes playing out on the beaches and in the skies over Japan. The Japanese soldier was much different than the German - definitely the most tenacious the world has ever seen. They would have fought to the last man, woman or child in order to repel an invasion. The truth is, the atomic attack ended the war quickly, and saved more total lives in the end. It also prevented Soviet interference, since their non-aggression pact with Japan was to end in mid August 1945. A Soviet occupation of Japan would not have been in our best interest, folks.

Was the bombing of Japan ethical?

Yes...Why would you wonder. It saved alot of lives on BOTH sides. An invasion was the alternative. That would have been better for the economy but Truman did not think about that. America was attacked and retribution was not swift. It cost a great many American lives over about 5 years of war. I would have said Bombs Away myself. Plus to be fair Japan did bomb us on Pearl Harbor before that so..


President Truman made the right choice with atomic weapons?

Sixty-five years after the fact, it's easy to second-guess the players of 1945 and speculate as to whether Truman's decision was 'right' or 'wrong.' It is exercises like these that have coined phrases like "Monday morning quarterback" and "20-20 hindsight." Still, folks like me just dive right in... I think Harry Truman believed that he made the 'right' choice about the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. And since he bore the sole responsibility for that choice, maybe that's enough. Certainly no court or judge has ruled that his choice was 'wrong.' It's fair to say that he made the best decision he could with the information he had at the time. And it's also fair to say that, had he chosen not to use the weapons, and had Japan continued the war for months or years, and had American and Japanese casualties mounted by thousands or millions, Truman would have had to bear the responsibility for that decision too. Keep in mind that US NON-atomic bombing raids were routinely killing thousands of Japanese every night, as many as 120,000 in a single raid.
