Reasons for the Allies Bombing of Dresden in the Second World War and Were They Justified in Destroying the City

Introduction During wartime, countries often suffer great losses to areas of their country, their cities, their civilians, and their landmarks.

Introduction

Terrorism refers to the systematic use of violence to cause terror among civilians with the purpose of asserting demands and forcing the government to give in to those demands. Individuals involved in terror activity are called terrorists. The history of terrorism dates back to the French Revolution when words like 'terror', 'terrorist' and 'terrorism' were incorporated in the modern lexicon. However, in those days the acts of terror were executed by those in power, mostly through the man killing means of guillotine and not bombs. In the mid-19th century in the Unites States, the word 'terrorism' began to be ...

It is important to comprehend the reason why Hiroshima was a likely target. According to Hersey (107), “the ruined city had flourished and had been an inviting target mainly because it had been one of the most important military- command and communications centres in Japan, and would have become the Imperial headquarters had the islands been invaded and Tokyo been captured.” In other words, how had the dropping of the bomb changed the lives of the survivors? Was the decision by the United States government to hit Hiroshima with the atomic bomb necessary? Should the Japanese have been forewarned about ...

The Pacific War in History and Memory

Nuclear bombings The atomic bombings of 6th and 9th August 1945 at Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain among the most significant historical events of all time. The event is of special significance to Japan being the only nation that has ever experienced the effects of nuclear destruction in war. As stated by Dower, “The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are a symbol of the tragic absurdity that war can bring to a nation.” Although Hiroshima’s physical location is in Japan, its experience of the atomic bomb has been transformed into a transnational and international incident that is discussed by all nations. ...

Introduction

The morning of August 6, 1945 an American B-29 bomber «Enola Gay» (crew commander - Colonel Paul Tibbets) dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima atomic bomb («Little Boy»). Three days later, the atomic bomb («Fat Man") was dropped on Nagasaki. Estimates of human losses from attacks are hampered by three factors: the low reliability of the statements in this difficult time for Japan, a large number of victims who died months or years later after bombing, and periodic desire to exaggerate or minimize the loss depending on Japan’s political intentions. It is estimated that 140,000 people ...

Twenty years ago, on the morning of April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh set off a bomb in front of the Murrah Federal Building, Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.

It remains the worst domestic terror attack in the country’s history, and it came barely two years after the 1993 Twin Tower bombing that claimed six lives. The perpetrators, Terry Nichols, and Tim McVeigh met seven years earlier at ...

Introduction

Henry Kissinger was perhaps one of the most active and important Secretaries of State. His forceful intervention in several questions such as the Vietnam War as well as his propping up of General Gustavo Augusto Pinochet makes him a reviled figure amongst those who have democracy at heart (Bass, p 275). This paper seeks to argue that Kissinger should indeed be hauled in front of an International War Crimes Tribunal largely due to his intervention, covert or non-covert in several mass genocides. Two of these are those in Bangladesh in 1971 where the Pakistani Army was given US backing to ...

Abstract

The disarmament policy has been unavoidable in many UN Security Council and G20 meetings recently. It has even caused the drafting and signing of many Non-proliferation treaties in the world of late.

This write up focus on the pros and cons of the bombings of the two cities of Japan: Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War.

Question one: Explosives

The Oklahoma City bombing occurred at nine o’clock during the day in April 1995. It saw the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building. Two critical safety steps that were essential in the management of the disaster entailed the establishment of a safety perimeter that would limit the extent to which the first respondents could reach and the immediate withdrawal of the trapped bodies from the danger zones. The former essentially contributes in accountability and management of the respondents. It should be noted that the respondents’ desire to save anybody in the disaster must never escalate to levels that ...

This is because any terror attack, by domestic, international or homegrown terrorists has got negative impacts on the victimized society.

The war on terror has been one of the most expensive battles to burden the United State of America economy.

The group is spread in Afghanistan, Pakistan and some part of Africa. The 11th September 2001 twin tower attacks on the United State soil saw President George .W. Bush officially declare war on terror ( ...

ABSTRACT

During World War II, the Allies faced an enemy with technological capabilities that matched their own. The Germans and Japanese boasted precision weaponry that was, in many ways, the envy of the world, and this skill had much to do with the success the Axis forces encountered during the war’s early years. But as the conflict wore on, the Americans and British showed a remarkable ability to adapt not only their design and manufacture of aircraft and armaments to meet the challenge of the enemy, but also their combat tactics. The speed and maneuverability of modern aircraft required pilots ...

Top news! Bruce Jenner is reassigning his gender! To whom you may ask? And I may ask : “Who is Bruce Jenner?”. I just know s(he) is all over the papers and TV, but have no idea who (s)he is, or what his/her achievements are. The only thing important is that he is doing a sex change operation to become a she.

Explosives are a rather young industry. Despite the stereotype of it being primarily used for military purposes, it has come to be applied in a variety of fields. It stand to reason that explosives have given belligerent parties a strategic advantage on the battlefield, yet their application is well documented in areas other than the military industrial complex. It is quite difficult to envision the peaceful demolition of decrepit structures that are up for destruction due to the degrading state of the framework. The extractive industry is dependent on explosives inasmuch as mineworkers need their way cleared or portions of rock splintered. ...

Satirical fiction has a proud tradition in American literature. Beginning with the winking cynicism of Mark Twain, this tradition was picked up by several American authors in the twentieth century, but none more bitingly than Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Growing up as the son of German-Americans during a time (the aftermath of World War I and then World War II) when many Americans harbored ill will toward them, and with his family suffering the privations of the Great Depression, Vonnegut saw in a matter of a couple of decades most of the very worst that humanity can inflict on one another. In 1969, he ...

Most Asian American came to the America after the emancipation and release of the black slaves. This means that cheap and free labor was no longer available for the white population at that time. As a result, white Americans wanted to close this vacuum of cheap labor through shipping another type of race, Asians, into the United States (Kochiyama, 2004, p.26). The Asians who were shipped in America were treated with hostility and faced a lot of racism from the white people.

Later, of course, it was found that the explosion that destroyed that ship came from within, not from external saboteurs.

The argument presented in the “Petition to the president of the United States” is quite successfully crafted and factual. Given the extensive destructive nature and long-term effects of atomic bombs, the president should have practiced extreme restraint in authorizing the usage of atomic bombs. Why would someone use a weapon whose radiation effects are bound to genetically affect successive generations of any survivors? What authority would someone have as to deliberately taint the genes of an entire generation? It is plain inhumane to use atomic bombs on any animal or plant let alone a human being. Scores should always be settled ...
