Atomic Justification.

As a result of the harsh conditions Germany was left in after World War I, many extremist organizations aroused, one being the National Socialist German Workers Party, or the Nazis. The Nazis were led by Adolph Hitler; Hitler was willing to conquer many territories. Britain and France satisfied Hitler's demand for territories at the Munich Conference, were Germany was allowed to control Sudetenland, in former Czechoslovakia. Through this agreement, Britain and France hoped for Hitler's territorial ambitions to come to an end. Unfortunately they made a mistake. Germany continued its path until the finally conquered Poland, thus starting WWII in Europe. Further on other nations such as Japan and Italy were fighting along with Germany against the rest of the world. Particularly, United States' relations with Japan deteriorated greatly. Trade with Japanese was cut off , resulting in Japanese madness. Europe's Axis powers were defeated first, and the remaining Japanese nation was left, it corresponded the U.S. to take care of the Japanese, after all they were attacked by the Japanese in the Pearl Harbor incident. An so they did in 1945, in a very harsh but necessary, and justified way. The U.S. resorted to using the powerful atomic bombs which fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The U.S. was justified in dropping the bombs because if they never did so, the number of casualties could have been even bigger if trying to invade Japan. In addition, the Japanese may have never surrendered. Plus the costly and savage battles at Okinawa and Iwo Jima were motives to drop the bomb which would result in less casualties.
Truman decide to use the atomic bombs on Japan because if he decided to go along with the already planed Operation Downfall which purpose was to invade Japan, the number of casualties could have been larger on both the Japanese and American side. In case of invasion attempt, the Japanese were willing to use women and children to fight. Additionally, Japan battled by using total war, meaning that ever single available resource was used against the enemy. This also meant that many civilians from around the world were in greater danger since the war would have last longer.
Japan's fighters fought with great honor and pride, this made the battle for the allies even harder. Japanese culture taught its people to never surrender no matter what. The Japanese were willing to fight till the very end, so a formal agreement with Japanese leaders to end battle was hardly possible. The pride of the Japanese can be seen in many action. One was the kamikaze pilots or suicide pilots that did not want to die without making any damage to the enemy. In addition, many Japanese leaders committed suicide rather than to be captured and prosecuted and most likely executed. The dropping of the bombs was necessary to make the Japanese surrender.
The U.S. did not want the same thing for the many Americans who lost their lives due to the fierce battles of Okinawa and Iwo Jima. The bombs were necessary to lessen the casualties. Having to battle at Japan was very dangerous due to the battle methods of the Japanese. The bombs were necessary to save millions of lives that could been lost at battle even bigger than Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
The United States made a justified decision in dropping the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They did it in order to save the rest of humanity threatened by the strong minded Japanese fighters. This was the only way to force the Japanese to surrender, since when the allies offered a conditional surrender the Japanese objected the offer. The bombs were successful in making the Japanese surrender. More importantly it ended World War II.

Dark Ages

"The roaring twenties", an era in which many prospered. Take the Harlem renaissance for example, where numerous African American artists flourished. During this period of time the economy grew rapidly thanks to a number of technological inventions. One was Ford's assembly line which made the automobile more affordable than ever. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end; So in 1929, the Roaring Twenties came to an unexpected end when the stock market crashed. The excitement of the 1920's was now over. Ahead came harsh times, some of the worst U.S. economy had. This so called 'Great Depression" altered the American Social fabric in many ways. Those who were poor during the roaring twenties would now suffer even further, and those whose life prospered in the twenties would overcome a dramatic change.
The great depression, besides causing banks to panic, also caused millions of people to be unemployed. Unemployment came from a varied amount of reasons. One was the use of new technology which at times replaced human labor. Machines without a doubt made a better and faster job than humans could do, however this lead to overproduction, followed by under consumption as a result from the unemployed.
Starting with the living conditions, people no longer lived in nice homes, instead they became part of the Hoovervilles. Named after the President of that time, Herbert Hoover, who during his term was unable to get the United States out of the Great Depression, Hoovervilles were shanty towns for the homeless and unemployed as a result of the depression. People who lived here lived under bad conditions. Those not skilled enough had to built their temporary homes out of cardboard and other simple materials. In the other hand, the skilled built their houses out of stone. Even those who had cars suffered, since gasoline was not affordable anymore. Cars had the engines taken out in order to be pulled by horses.
Some in response decided to get together through charities in order to help the unfortunate. The infamous soup- kitchens were created to provide free food for those who needed it the most. Some minorities such as women and African Americans were also affected. Women were not affected in a very bad way, for they were considered the only hope for some families. Even though they were not paid as much as men, their effort to make a difference was well appreciated. African Americans in the other hand suffered even more during the depression. They were the last on the waiting list for jobs as well as the first to be fired. Nevertheless others outside the United States were affected, for example, in Latin America many fascist movements arose due to the effects of the great depression resulting from the many investments the United States had with many Latin American countries.
The great depression affected many in America mostly in a bad way. The depression was not however only a local issue, but rather a global one that affected millions of people, even foreigners in the U.S. were affected, for example, Mexican-Americans who faced illegal deportation in order to yield jobs for white Americans. In the United States, the depression ended an era of mass consumerism that once prospered in the urban areas.
