Thesis 1: It is arguable that America’s use of the atomic bomb on Japan was the best method possible to end World War II, especially when taking into account the lives of soldiers and civilians, in addition to the costs of continued warfare. (NAT, 7.3.III.D & 7.3.III.E) Topic sentences: ➢ The atomic bomb provided justice for the hundreds of thousands of innocent Chinese citizens -and soldiers- killed by Japanese soldiers during the Rape of Nanking, and the Americans who died during the bombings of Pearl Harbor. ➢ To continue, with billions of American dollars already pumped into World War II, the atomic bomb ended the conflict almost instantly; making it the far cheaper alternative to possibly years of continued fighting via aerial bombing …show more content…
Thesis 2: It is arguable that the New Deal proposed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt was vastly successful in stimulating the American economy and society as a whole, due to the series of federal programs and acts it created which, were aimed at relieving the calamities brought about by the Great Depression. (POL, WXT, 7.1.III.A) Topic Sentences: ➢ The New Deal resulted in a federal program known as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC); which helped the economy by putting hundreds of thousands of Americans to work on projects that benefited the environment. ➢ In addition, the New Deal led to the enactment of the Social Security Act of 1935; which helped establish a peace of mind among vulnerable American citizens by providing them with economic security. ➢ Lastly, the New Deal created The Works Progress Administration; which helped provide work to unskilled men throughout America. Thesis 3: It can be said that the different means of entertainment in America during the twentieth century brought people very close together, especially when looking at nightclubs, radios and theatrical performances. (CUL 7.2.I.A) Topic
The atomic bomb was seen as a weapon capable of ending the war, and it did just that. Due to its quick and magnificent destruction capabilities, the United States could avoid hand to hand combat and save the lives of many Americans. On the other hand, the bombs were seen as unnecessarily brutal. Because of its lethal range, hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed.
Franklin D Roosevelt jumped into action to save the economy the 1930s. In Doc A, he said “we are giving opportunity of employment to one-quarter of a million of the unemployed, especially the young men…” (Doc A). This shows that the New Deal created jobs so people could get paid and ended the Depression. In Doc E, it shows that in 1937, the unemployment rate had increased down to 9.1% compared to the 22.5% it was before FDR took office (Doc E). This shows that the New Deal succeeded in providing work. Besides providing jobs, the New Deal gave Americans faith in their government.
Many of the New Deal’s relief programs were revolutionary; the federal government was now responsible for relieving the problems of society previously left to individuals, states, and local governments. Work relief programs, such as the popular Civilian Conservation Corps, which offered unemployed Americans a chance to earn wages while working to conserve natural resources, and the Works Progress Administration, which gave unemployed Americans
The New Deal help created jobs and money to a lot of people in the 1930s. The New Deal created jobs by “creating the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to provide jobs for unemployed people” (history.com/topics/new-deal). This administration gave jobs to millions
Following the Great Depression, the government instituted a series of experimental projects and programs, known collectively as the New Deal, which aimed to restore some measure of dignity and prosperity to many Americans. Roosevelt’s New Deal permanently changed the federal government’s relationship to the U.S. populace for the New Deal was a revolutionary step towards the use of governmental power to address economic and social issues.
The atomic bombs might have killed thousands, but the bombs also saved millions. Before the war even started Japan had a grudge on America for cutting off of their oil supplies. Germany lost to the allies after hitter committed suicide. Japan was the last remain axis power. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, America had a right to join the war and get revenge. When America dropped the bombs, they did their best not to harm many civilians. Also they saved more lives than they took. The atomic bomb was the best way toned the war efficiently.
Arguably one of the best programs that the New Deal brought on was the WPA (Works Progress Administration). The WPA generated 3 million plus jobs alone for the young men in America (http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/fdr-creates-the-wpa). The picture shown
When FDR took office, the United States was experiencing one of, if not the worst, economic depression. Labeled the Great Depression, FDR knew that extreme government policies would need to be implemented to combat the problems that existed. To do this, FDR’s “New Deal” policies did just that. Whether it be the Social Security Program or any other aspect of the New Deal, the response was highly effective. In fact, many programs from this time are still in use today, showing just some of the ways that the role of the federal government was changed due to the presidency of FDR.
The United States encountered many ordeals during the Great Depression (1929-1939). Poverty, unemployment and despair clouded the “American Dream” and intensified the urgency for solutions to address and control the nationwide damage. President Franklin Roosevelt proposed the New Deal to detoxify the nation of its suffering. It can be argued that the New Deal was ineffective due to the inability to end the Great Depression with its short-term solutions and created more problems, however; it was successful in regards to providing direct relief for the needy, economic recovery and some structural reform for the majority of the general public in the severity of the Great Depression.
The release of two atomic bombs on Japan in August 1945 helped end World War II. However, it had unintended consequences. It caused the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union.
was fully justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, because of the unprovoked and brutal attacks on civilians, grounded airplanes, and the docked U.S. Pacific fleet by the Japanese. By retaliating with the atomic bomb to end the war the United States showed the world the power and weapons of mass destruction that it possessed and that it was not afraid to use them. This also issued a warning to the Soviet Union, who at the time was our ally, but was slowly turning into an enemy. In addition to showing the world the United States power, the atomic bombs crushed Japan not just physically, but also morally giving them no other option, but to surrender. Japan was on the edge of surrender with a great amount of inner turmoil, but Japans military leaders had declared no surrender and ordered their people to fight to the death of the last man, woman, and child, so in using the atomic bomb we forced them to the breaking point and saved millions of lives. Without the dropping of the atomic bombs the U.S. would have invaded the Japanese homeland in Operation Downfall where a great slaughter would have ensued. Nearly 500,000 Purple Heart medals were pre-made in anticipation of the invasion, but the atomic bombs saved this massive loss of life. The results brought about by the atomic bombs were very devastating and gruesome; they caused thousands of deaths and injuries and should not be employed except in the most dire
The New Deal provided employment for 3 million young men. Through the Civilian Conservation Act, uniformed young men were recruited to work in various employment such as reforestation, fire fighting, flood control and swamp drainage. These jobs not only helped the people financially, but also gave a sense of accomplishment and prevented them from committing crimes.
Lastly, the Social Security Act was one of many reform efforts that sprung from the New Deal. This act was an attempt to provide general welfare for women and their children, those with disabilities such as blindness, older individuals, and public health, and helped financially support them while they were looking for work elsewhere. It was most common with elderly individuals, as they received what is known as “old-age pensions.” This was one of the few reforms that has stayed with us since the New Deal, and was economically successful in bringing America out of the Great
The new deal provided helping programs such as the Social securities act, WPA, and the federal Emergency Relief Act to lower unemployment and to help those who couldn't
Some regard the atomic bomb as “the thank God for the atom bomb”. This places God on the U.S. side and regards the bombs as our saving grace. This bomb forced the Japanese to surrender which in turn proved the U.S. to be the heroes who saved the American’s lives.1 The Americans intended on ending the war but did not expect to end it with such a large number of casualties. The results of the atomic bomb and how it effected the Japanese people both emotionally and physically will be addressed. “The bombs marked both an end and a beginning—the end of an appalling global conflagration in which more than 50 million people were killed and the beginning of the nuclear arms race and a new world in which
