US in WW2

War occured between these two powers as the result of economic and political rivalry. America had long been the main influence in the pacific and South East Asia, having conquered the Phillipines, Samoa and other smaller pacific territories. The aggressive and imperialistic Japan wanted to achieve the same status in power and prestige as its American neighbour. However, the US would never allow this and in the years leading up to Pearl Harbour, attempted to stem the economic growth of Japan by placing trade tariffs (barriers) of oil etc. Ironically, these actions pushed Japan to seek colonial territories on mainland China, to aquire the resources which US had tariffed. It also brought Japan to the realisation that if it wanted a pacific empire, it would need to confront and defeat America. The rivalry came to its climax at Pearl Harbour, when Japanese bombers attempted to neutralise the US Naval Fleet. With this action, World War Two truly began.

Two causes, the first cause was to help Europe defeat Hitler and bring peace to Europe (biggest lie ever). The second cause was the capitalists' greediness to get cheap labor and resources from the colonies of Middle East Africa, Latin America, and Asia ( Realistic reason).

Approximately 1,000,000 Iranians died and between 250,000 and 500,000 Iraqis died, depending on differing estimates.

The terrain of the Vietnam War changed during the course of the battle. At first, the fields were open and Americans used this opportunity to drop bombs on South Vietnam. However, by the end of the war, the Vietnamese had moved the battlefield into the forests where they knew the terrain well, and Americans could not drop bombs in fear of hurting their own soldiers. This was also a good opportunity for the Vietnamese to set up booby traps in which American Soldiers would find themselves suddenly impaled after setting them off.

The best and only way to completely avoid the possibility of nuclear weapons being used is to not have them at all. Otherwise, simply choosing not to use them is the alternative; nothing else would work.

They didn't, that decision was made by President Roosevelt it was decided that just because they were japaneese even though some of them had never even seen japan that they could be members of terorist groups (just one more decision based on race and not on logic at that time)

58,226 dead or missing in action. http://www.vietnam-war.info/casualties/

All of it. US military installations were set up in former Japanese military sites; as well as strategic regions, such as seaports, etc. Japan was used as a "cold war" base...for fighting communist expansion (Korean War and Vietnam War).

On July 7, 1937, the Japanese army provoked the Lugouqiao Incident near Peiping, and the Sino Japanese war broke out in an all-round way. On December 7, 1941, after Japan launched the Pacific War, the Chongqing national government officially declared war on Japan on December 9. On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally to the allies. During the Anti Japanese War, about 9 million Chinese civilians died in the war, another 8 million civilians died of other factors, and 95 million became refugees. According to Jiang Menglin's memoirs, 14 million strong men died of hunger after being killed by Ralph. In addition, it is estimated that the cumulative number of direct population losses in China's Anti Japanese war is 20.62 million, which is equivalent to the cumulative number of directly disabled people in the war. The minimum number of military and civilian casualties is 34.8 million; At the same time, it is also estimated that the total number of direct casualties in China's Anti Japanese war may be more than 41 million. Combined with the figures of missing and captured during the war, the total number of death, disability and missing people directly caused by the war to China is more than 45 million; From the perspective of population loss, China's total population loss during the Anti Japanese war should be more than 50 million..

no we are all the same inside so wats the diffrents.

Admiral Yamamota, the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Navy. He was highly respected and the military explicitly trusted his judgment and analysis.

He had studied at Harvard University before the war, and understood the potential America posed, if its war economy got off the ground. He knew that the United States was blessed with immense natural resources unlike the Japanese. He convinced his government that only a quick and lethal strike against Pearl Harbor would give the Japanese an opportunity to defeat the Americans before they had time to mobilize and in time, overwhelm his country.

Unfortunately for the Japanese, they didn't sink the 2 American aircraft carriers and would pay for that at the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Admiral Yamamota after Midway and the sinking of its 4 battle carriers, realized the war was lost.

Scotland is part of the United Kingdom and so does not have separate membership of the EU.

Yes. The theory for an atomic bomb was actually proposed by German scientist, Albert Einstein.

Robert Oppenheimer led research and development under Manhatten Project

No, the atomic bomb was invented in London England by the Hungarian scientist, Leo Szilard in 1933 as an improved method of transmuting elements. He got the patent for it in 1934.

i believe the US did drop the second atomic bomb during WW2 to intimidate the Soviet Union. Before the first atomic bomb was even dropped on Hiroshima the Japanese armies were failing and they wished to surrender. Toward the end of WW2 they didn't have much of a navy or an airforce. their cities were being bombed and destroyed by regular high explosives and raids. Also, Japan couldn't get the supplies it needed anymore our own B-29's had destroyed most of the Japanese industries nad, with the laying of mines, prevented the arrival of incoming cargoes. With all this going on it was impossible for Japan to continue large scale war successfully. Japan had even tried to surrender before Hiroshima was bombed but the Allied powers would only consider Japan surrendered if Japan would agree to complete surrender. Japan was unwilling to surrender under those condtions and who would blame them. i would surrender knowing i had no say at all whatsoever in the peace negotiations.

so if Japan was already on the brink of defear, and they wanted to surrender anyhow, then it leads me to believe that the atomic bombs, but mostly the second one, where dropped to intimidate the Soviet Union. U.S. leader thought that showing the Soviet Union that America wasn't afraid to use its atomic bombs would help put the communists Soviet Union back in line and make it more managebale.

The Coast Guard is a branch of the US Military, so yes.

Truman wanted to "contain" communism, that is prevent it from spreading, but leave it be in countries where it already existed. MacArthur wanted to destroy communism by attacking any and all countries where it existed.

The Marshall Plan helped the West recover faster.

under pressure from stalin, eastern europe countries refused aid from the united states

One simple word, desperation. After the U.S soldiers drove the Japanese out of the Asia-Pacific area, the Japanese Empire still refused to surrender. The United States was hell...very pissed. Because for one, Japan would have probably invaded the mainland U.S and not stop. So yeah, the nuke was a last resort.

The US Air Force did not exist until 1947. The US Army Air Corp was instrumental in the European Theater, destroying much of Germany's ability to manufacture war materials, attacking Axis positions and defending Allied troups. Of course, they also delivered the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. Naval aircraft were very much involved in the Pacific conflict, defending the battle groups and supporting the amphibious landings. The Navy's planes were also used against submarines in the Atlantic.

Like ancient Sparta, not in their nature.
Japan did not surrender during World War 2 because it is not in the Japanese fighting man's makeup to surrender, even when they cannot win. They will fight until they die. Even when they gave up, they never used the word surrender.
