]]> 2016-09-30 10:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/charlottecopest/debateskills/wish/127479946 Justified https://padlet.com/charlottecopest/debateskills/wish/127479962 Japan got US involved at the start of WW2 by attacking pearl harbour. This in a way justifies the bombings because Japan started it and US ended it.

]]> 2016-09-30 10:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/charlottecopest/debateskills/wish/127479962 Argument Against Bombings: https://padlet.com/charlottecopest/debateskills/wish/127480021 There was no need to drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they were not occupied by the military and had more civilians inhabiting them than soldiers. Therefore, the bombs cost the lives of thousands of innocent people.

Due to 60 of its cities already been bombed, it was only a matter of time before Japan lost the war anyway, so the bombings were unnecessary and the justification of it ending the war is just an excuse.

Two bombs had been made, a plutonium bomb and a uranium bomb. The US must have had a plan to drop a second bomb. Also, the US wanted to conduct a test on clean targets even though it is morally wrong (Geneva Convention) and the two cities did not have any military value. 250,000 people lost their lives due to the test. https://padlet.com/charlottecopest/debateskills/wish/127480287 2016-09-30 10:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/charlottecopest/debateskills/wish/127480287 Against https://padlet.com/charlottecopest/debateskills/wish/127480307 There was no need to drop bombs on these towns, they could of dropped them on uninhabited or militarily bases. They could of tried to convince Japan to quit without killing anyone.

This meant that they believed surrender was a disgrace so terrible that they could never give in.]]> 2016-09-30 10:38:48 UTC https://padlet.com/charlottecopest/debateskills/wish/127480416 Justified https://padlet.com/charlottecopest/debateskills/wish/127480649 Japan were asked to surrender before and after the first bomb

Many who survived the initial blast later died from radiation sickness and even today, babies are born disabled as a result. Therefore, the bombings cannot be justified because it has continued to affect innocent civilians who weren't responsible for Japan's activity in the war.
