US in WW2

When he assumed office as President he received his first briefing on the Manhatten Project. When Japan failed to respond to the Potsdam Declaration he authorized the use of atomic weapons and the Enola Gay bombed Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 about four months after he took office.

The Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb in 1949, President Truman had to make a terrible decision-- whether to develop an even more horrifying weapon- Hydrogen bomb

It ended badly, with an atomic mushroom cloud and Russian Troops threatening the Home Island. Ultimately, it wasn't the fact that the United States used atomic weapons on the Japs, it was that the Japanese finally realized that loss of any part of Japan to the Russians would mean never getting it back! That is the only reason Japan surrendered! I don't think we had but one more atomic bomb left at that time. At any rate, the Japanese were quite used to taking 90 percent casualities. They didn't give a damn about civilians. Operation Tiger, the propossed invasion of Japan caculated a 1.5 to 3 million allied casualities. That's what the Japanese were preparing for us. Only the possible loss of part of the nation brought extreamists to the surrender table. Not atomic bombs. Yep, scarry Uncle Joe Stalin is really who they feared, not American B-29s creating firestorms, or even an invasion by Americans and British Troops. Somehow the Japanese held a notion that we would eventually leave and that they would get Japan back. Their honor intact with millions dead, but that would not be the case if the Russians ever go a hold of Japan. The idea of becoming the Soviet Socialists Republic of Japan didn't go down too well. Resistance is futile! You will be assimilated! Ah...No! Surrendering to the United States was far more attractive, and it proved a far better choice for the Japanese. Now, if they would only teach their own people about their own barbaric bid at world conquest, stop asking for an appology because the attack on us resulted in a couple of atomic explosions. Telling us they need only appologize once, but we should forever appologize for dropping an atomic weapon. Well, you can see now that didn't even matter as they still had no plans to surrender!

1. An all volunteer army (minus the US Civil War)

2. Understrength units; a company might have 38 men instead of an authorized 150 men (as an example).

3. US Soldiers wore blue in the field until the turn of the century (1900s)

4. Disease's such as dysentery and cholera killed more men than all the bullets and shells put together during the 1800s.

The boiling of river & creek water (for drinking); and the sterilization of medical instruments either wasn't known, or it wasn't practised by the US military until after the US Civil War.

The primary means of communication for any type of re-supply was by dispatch (riders). Translation: For men stationed in isolated outposts; life wasn't just hard, it was down right miserable! Unless of course, he was young, adventurous, and had an agenda. Which is true of anyone making "good" during a bad situation.

General Douglas Mac Arthur became in charge of Japan after World War 2. He wrote the Constitution of Japan. He created a constitution combining features of American, British, and the former Japanese government.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, they helped fight with the allies in the North African campaign, the invasions of Sicily and Italy, and the invasion of Normandy in June 1944 all the way to the German surrender in 1945. They also fought the Japanese in an island hopping campaign in the Pacific from 1941 to 1945, when two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, leading to the Japanese surrender and the end of WW2.

At the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.

In the United States this war is known as "The Revolutionary War"

Overdependence on foreign nations and a dramatic increase in population.

America thought the japanease people in America were spies

The reason the United States entered the Second World War was because of a suprise attack on their naval base at Pearl Harbor in Oahu. At 7:55 A.M. on December 7,1941, the Empire of Japan commited a suprise attack upon the United States naval fleet that was anchored in the harbor. The day after the attack the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, declared war on the Empire of Japan because of their sudden attack that was performed without warning the day before.

The reason for the Unites states to enter word war two is because the japaness bombed us in pearl harbor on December 7 1941 and the attack on the philipne islands near china.

The war did benefit the US, economically that is. It benefit from it when the demand for products was strong, which caused factories to go into overdrive, which meant more factories opened, which meant that more jobs were created. This resolved the great depression in the US. Also, US did benefit when penicillin was starting to be mass produced and the US bought some of it from Europe and sold it to other countries including China.

It depends on which Island this is, it could have anything on it, except for humans as it's been deserted. It could be filled with trees and grass or sand or there could be a ghost town on it.

was implemented to piesta quezon the birth of Bonifacio officials and he also took the monument making its green park. He also defended the equity at all times. He made steps to have a national language based on a dialect in the islands.

The Table of Organization is routinely changed as the mission and changes in tactics and equipment evolves. The 20,000 man Division of yesteryear may not be seen as essential today or tomorrow. It won't alter much to the individual rifleman who will be a part of a fire team, squad and platoon. His job will remain the same. He will "close with the enemy and destroy him."

Following the end of WWII, America shifted it's focus to the growing concern over Communist aggression, as well as the task of rebuilding a wartorn Europe. The Marshall Plan was instituted and, before we knew it, we were stuck in the Cold War.

Boise City, Oklahomawas the city that was bombed during World War II. On July 5, 1943, at approximately 12:30 a.m., a B-17 Bomber based at Dalhart Army Air Base (50 miles to the south of Boise City) dropped six practice bombs on the sleeping town.

Ended WW2. Japanese were clearly losing, but due to their culture and tradition they refused to surrender. The US in dropping the A-bomb debatably saved more lives then they killed, as without it the war in Asia would have continued.

The Silver Star Medal was awarded only for heroism in combat. In the medal hierarchy it ranks after the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross (or Navy Cross) which are also only given for heroism in combat and before the Bronze Star Medal (either a heroism or meritorius service medal). This is a high honor for any serviceman. Occasionally people will ask this question because they have a campaign ribbon or other decoration with small 1/4 inch stars attached that are either bronze or silver in color. These stars indicate the number of times the decoration was awarded or the number of campaign's the recipient participated in. A bronze star equals 1 and a silver star equals five bronze stars

Because during the Paris Peace Conference following WWI, Germany was left out of any discussion involving the new treaty. Germany was left with a large amount of reparations to pay and land being taken away from them. They were never given a voice, and during the 1920's, they suffered an economic downturn. When the Nazi's rose to power in the 1930's and 40's, they not only placed the blame on minorities and Jews, but the other countries that had treated them so unfairly.
