Pro For me to win I have to prove America's intent to scare the Japanese into surrendering. It is clear that America wanted Japan to surrender. By nuking the two cities, America spread fear into the Japanese population. The Potsdam declaration is further proof that the bombings was terrorism. WAS HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI A TACTICAL LOCATION? Both cities were picked for the relatively untouched Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They were chosen for population. Sorry for the forfeiture. If I could can I post my sources in the comments later? I cant now. Con Dagolas forfeited this round. |
