Did the us made the right desicion to drop the bomb?
This question doesn't have a yes or no answer. You can't say that dropping two atomic bombs that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people is right. Yet you can't say that saving probably over a million of soldiers lives by dropping the bomb wasn't right. Dropping the atomic bombs has it's pro's and con's.

How long did the Christmas truce in World War 1 last?
The fraternisation lasted, in many areas, for the whole of Christmas day. Food and supplies were exchanged on a one to one basis, while in some areas men borrowed tools and equipment from the enemy, in order to quickly improve their own living conditions. Many games of football were played using whatever would suffice for a ball, while bodies that had become trapped within No Man's Land were buried.
Most modern revellings of the Truce finish with the soldiers returning to their trenches and then fighting again the next day, but in many areas the peace lasted much longer. Frank Richard's account explained how both sides refrained from shooting at each other the next day, until the British troops were relieved and they left the front line. In other areas the goodwill lasted for several weeks, bringing a halt to opportunistic sniping, before the bloody conflict once again resumed.

Who helped Australia fight on the Kokoda Track in World War 2?
The truth is no one.
The fighting on Kokoda Trail was fought between the Japanese and Australians and no one else.
The Americans hadn't yet joined the war when the battle started, the British had withdrawn to abandon Australia, the New Zealanders contributed too few men about 10,000 in the Pacific, and Australia's allies in South-East Asia had already fallen to the Empire.
However, the natives of PNG did help Australian wounded but they never fought in battle.

How was World War 2 justified?
Xenophobia is a problem in all nations, however it was not the reason or cause for the United States to be at war with Japan or Germany. Japan surprise attacked the United States, the British Commonwealth & the (Free) Dutch prior to any Declaration of War. Then four days later, Germany (Adolf Hitler) declared war on the United States. This war was started by Germany, Japan & Italy. Ironically, it is in Japan & Germany where Xenophobia has the greatest influence on those nation's leaders & population.
Was World War 2 the biggest war in history?
Realistically it depends on how you look at it........certainly battle had never been waged on that kind of scale before......there were many weapons used which had never been seen before..........the fropping of the bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki...........but no......it did not have the greatest impact..........if you want a war with the greatest impact maybe it is.......but event no.........just look at the founding of Christianity or something along those lines......more people have been killed in the name of religion than anything else......so i would have to say no it was not the most impacting of all events
In military terms, I think it did. World War 2 was the start of nuclear war. Before then it was more about sending troops to the front lines. It still is but now its also 'lets bomb the crap outta them.' Nuclear weapons were introduced, along with nuclear fallouts and nuclear scares. The devastating atomic bombs reshaped warfare. Not to mention the even more devastating hydrogen bomb.
It would have to be the Napoleonic wars which shaped countries, invented new strategies, placed in new monarchies and government policies. This war shaped the future politicaly and militaristicaly for the future. Even now systems, laws and policies created during this time are still in use today.
Why is japan called as the rising sun?
They picked a rising sun for the flag because Japan is the easternmost country in the world, and the sun rises in the east. The exact origin of the flag "Hinomaru" is unknown. However, historically, the sun has had a religious connotation in Japan, and the rising sun has had an important symbolic meaning. For example, in 607, Prince Shotoku sent a letter that began with "from the emperor of the rising sun" to Emperor Yang of Sui. One legend related to the national flag is attributed to Buddhist priest Nichiren. During a Mongolian invasion into Japan during the 13th century, Nichiren gave a sun banner to the shogun to carry into battle. One of Japan's oldest known flags is housed at the Unpo-ji temple in Yamanashi Prefecture. A legend states that the flag was given by Emperor Reizei to Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, and was treated as the family treasure by the Takeda clan. However, the historical accuracy of this account is questionable. The earliest recorded flags in Japan date from the unification period. The flags belonged to each Daimyo, and were used mostly in battle. Most of the flags were long banners, and were usually charged with the mon of the Daimyo. Members of the same family, such as a son, father and a brother, had different flags to carry to battle. The flags served for identification, and were displayed by soldiers on their backs and also on their horses. Generals also had their own flags, but most of these were square in shape. The Hinomaru was the legal national flag from 1870 until 1885. After the Meiji Restoration, the Hinomaru was the de facto national flag with no law in place.
