It explained a lot about all of the scientists new discoveries, and how building the atomic bomb would benefit the U.S. Albert Einstein made a very good point while writing this letter. I also think the letter influenced the decision to drop an atomic bomb on Japan because of what our studies weekly article said. "When Einstein heard of the breakthrough, he wrote a letter to U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and encouraged him to explore this new science. Perhaps a bomb could be made...Roosevelt agreed and turned loose 100,000 scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to build an atomic bomb." This evidence makes it clear to me that Einstein's lette had a big influence on the bombing of Japan.

Now all President Roosevelt has to do is either pick A or B. 

     Choice A is, "To approach Government Departments, keep them informed of the further development, and put forward recommendations for Government action, giving particular attention to the problem of securing a supply of uranium ore for the United States. Choice B is, " to speed up the experimental work, which is at present being carried on within the limits of the budgets of University laboratories, by providing funds, if such funds be required, through his contacts with private persons who are willing to make contributions for this cause, and perhaps also by obtaining co­operation of industrial laboratories which have necessary equipment." So after reading these two choices all President Roosevelt has to do is pick one and move on. In my mind, this process is pretty simple. This explains why it can be easily determined at this point.]]> 2019-04-02 15:26:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347682209 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347682666 Yes, I think it did help determine the decision to take action becuase of E. Fermi and L. Szilard found out that they could use uranium and plutonium could be used to make power and bombs. This would help us win the war against Japan and save many more lives.The letter states,"This new phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs, and it is conceivable­­ though much less certain­­ that extremely powerful bombs of this type may thus be constructed. A single bomb of this type, carried by boat and exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole port together with some of the surrounding territory." This means that we could have a very high chance of wining with this new weapon we had on our side. In sum, I know that this letter helped make the decision to take action against Japan.]]> 2019-04-02 15:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347682666 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347683083   I do as well believe that because of this very valuable and important letter that the U.S. finally figured out how to make atom bombs. Based on the text, " I believe therefore that it is my duty to bring to your attention the following facts and recommendations." and "Some recent work by E. Fermi and L. Szilard, which has been communicated to me in manuscript, leads me to expect that the element uranium may be turned into a new and important source of energy in the immediate future." this shows that Einstein had to bring all of this important information to Roosevelts attention. In conclusion, I hope this article opened your mind to a whole bunch of new thoughts on this topic and about how Einstein played a important role in the creation of atomic bombs.                               Hailey.R]]> 2019-04-02 15:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347683083 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347683218 I think that this letter did determine the decision to take action against Japan. I thought this because Einstein brought great attention to this. Roosevelt had many options but finally, Einstein helped him out and gave him two.

Also, Einstein helped the president up to date with what has happened which in my opinion helped the president make a decision to act on Japan and drop the bombs.

Einstein wanted this war to end with Japan, so he helped out the president. Although, he didn't take action in the first place, he did eventually and the first shot wasn't good enough so they dropped a second bomb on the city of Nagasaki, which finally ended that part of the war with Japan. On the first dropping of a bomb on the city of Hiroshima didn't work Japan still did not give up. They kept going even after how many lives were lost and how many homes were lost. JAPAN WANTED TO WIN SO THEY DID NOT GIVE UP. Finally, the second bombed made them give up and end the war.

The reason why was that Einstein started going into how the atomic bomb could be created and what they could do. In the text it states, "This new phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs, and it is conceivable­­ though much less certain that extremely powerful bombs of this type may thus be constructed. A single bomb of this type, carried by boat and exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole port together with some of the surrounding territory. " This evidence shows me that the bomb is very powerful. If they set this off on Japan they will be furious because it is so strong.]]> 2019-04-02 15:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347683409 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347683611 Yes, I do think that the letter from Einstein to Roosevelt determined the decision for many reasons. 

First, I'm still not sure about this, but if Einstein was the only one who sent a letter about this subject, then the war would not have ended most likely at that time because president Roosevelt did not get any more letters about the bombs. (I am not sure of that fact)  ]]> 2019-04-02 15:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347683611 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347683682 They kept the president caught up with the work that they were doing.  This was the only way they got permission to work with this kind of science.   Without this letter to Roosevelt they didn't have permission to continue there research and to even make the bomb. We wouldn't have made the bomb without his permission. Therefore this war could still be going on because we didn't bomb them to make the leaders of Japan to notice that they had no chance to win the war. So many bloody years of war all because you didn't have permission.

Now they are are allies. We also get new military and army because we took over there Army in the peace treaty. We also had a lot of Japanese Americans that were being kept as prisinors. Thry wold have stayed in there longer if we did not bomb Japan they were also getting illness because they were not getting propper care.

Some more reasons are what if Hilar took over the world and we would not have are freedom we have right now. My finall, reason is what would have happened to our country. They were coming up to us and we would have got bombed and people would have died and we would not have fighted in this war for any reason. Those are my reasons that support that America should have bombed Japan ]]> 2019-04-02 15:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347683740 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347683758 2019-04-02 15:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347683758 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347684066 2019-04-02 15:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347684066 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347684710 Yes I do think it determined the decision because creating all of this energy led up to making the decision whether or not to use up all of this energy to create and destroy, but if they wouldn't have dropped the bombs then Japan could have used that energy against us, so we could have had a hard hit too if we didn't decide to drop the bombs on Japan. Also, Einstein decided to write the letter to our president, so technically it is our energy that we have the freedom to use.]]> 2019-04-02 15:30:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347684710 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347684766 To begin, the US was affected by this letter in the decision to bomb Japan. my evidents of this is that if they were not informed as soon as they were about this bomb them they would not have had it in time. this tells me that the us was told about the atom bomb by albert einstien in time to make it and then use it against Japan. In sum, the US was affected by the letter from albert ienstien.]]> 2019-04-02 15:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347684766 26harrisonn24 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347684892       Starting out, the dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not needed because the U.S. already had drove the Japanese back to their home land which did not have many resources. Then they would likely run out very quickly. Like Germany during WW1 they could have had a multitude of small bombings on military to drive down their arsenal and then the would have ended with much less Japanese deaths.
      Finishing this off, the Japanese  also have a lot of natural disasters which would drive their men´s spirits down and maybe destroy military equipment. Including, the Japanese was trapped on all sides with America blocking all of the ocean and Asia and America´s allies blocking the land. So the Japanese would be trapped on all sides and if they tried to resist then we could keep weakening their military arsenal which would keep weakening them until they gave up.]]> 2019-04-02 15:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347684892 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347684947 2019-04-02 15:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347684947 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347685073 No, it did not determine whether they were going to take action with Japan because there were still fighting in the first place and they would still probably figure this out either way uranium is practically almost everywhere they would still have found a way to create the bomb.]]> 2019-04-02 15:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347685073 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347686143 Yes, this letter did helped America make the decision to take action against Japan. To begin, Einstein told America about the impact that was coming beforehand. From that America was able to prepare and make weapons just as powerful. In addition, Einstein told Roosevelt what you had to do to really make a atomic bomb and the effects of it. The text states, "...that it may be possible to set up a nuclear chain reaction in a large mass of uranium, by which vast amounts of power and large quantities of new radium­like elements would be generated." This shows me that Einstein was saying what the bomb is made of and what it is capable of. Finally, this letter helped America take action against the Japanese because Japan wouldn't surrender. Japan wasn't giving up so America needed something very strong to end the war. ]]> 2019-04-02 15:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347686143 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347686472 i think that it change because they started to drop the bomb and they was still fighting with the japan's and it is still is going on. ]]> 2019-04-02 15:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347686472 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347686564 Yes I think that he should have taken action against Japan because the Japan snuck on them when they were not even  fighting. They killed a lot of people and I think that Amiera did the right thing. Because they snuck up one them with there airplanes and that makes me readly mad. I am happy that they got there revenge on Japan. But what I am not happy about is both of them killed so many people at the time. that part was not good at all.

Not the other way around. The letter doesn't say anything about actually having the need to drop the bomb. Einstein just mentioned their progress and the expenses. I am also pretty sure that Einstein did not want to drop this bomb. They created this project for emergency uses and they already had the emergency before they started the process.  This did not influence it but it put progress into it. They needed it either way because they needed peace, they needed to make sure that other countries don't win the race and they get bombed instead. They needed it before the project started. They needed it before this message was written.]]> 2019-04-02 15:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347688311 26maloned https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347688499 I do not think it determined the decision to take action against Japan because They were at war with japan already.

It influenced them because at that time Japan was doing anything just to have power. For example Japan pilots were going on suicide missions like driving their own plane into a U.S. ship. Once the U.S. was notified by Albert Einstein that they could produce a big enough bomb to stop Japan they started to produce that bomb. ]]> 2019-04-02 17:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347745472 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347746275 Yes, I believe that the letter by Albert Einstein did determine whether or not to take action against Japan. The United States president would most likely do anything for American citizens to be safe and humble. Since Japan was very resistant to giving up, Japan could strike at any moment and it was the safest option to end it right then and there. The atomic bomb was a very deadly bomb the could wipe out whole cities and could scare countries such as Japan to surrender. This is why I think the letter helped determine the bombing.]]> 2019-04-02 17:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347746275 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347746385 Yes I do believe that the letter helped us take action against Japan because it convinced the president to take action faster.

Albert talks about how it should be built out of atoms and who knows if they would have thought of that. Albert had the idea and without that letter their is a small percentage they would have thought of that.

It convinnced President Roosevelt to ennhance the making of the bombs quickly so, they can bomb Japan faster. Einstien was the one who came up with the idea to make the bomb and if it wasn't for him they probably would've never thought of the idea. It clearly says in the note that EInstein did a bunch of research to make sure that doing this was a good idea. He saw that uranium can let out large amounts of power and energy. All in all, Roosevelt hadn't thought about this idea until Einstein wrote to him about it, so how could EInstein not have influenced him?]]> 2019-04-02 17:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347748028 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347748096 I do believe that it did make the U.S determine the decision to take action against Japan.

Likewise, Einstein mentioned more than just the bomb, he only briefly went over the bomb. Furthermore, Einstein never really wanted to drop the bomb, you can tell in his letter this was just in case things turn for the worst.

Albert Einstein figured out that the bombs that could be created are very dangerous because when uranium or plutonium are pushed together hard enough can create a large amount of energy. When atoms split apart they create a chain reaction that split more and more atoms apart as they keep going, this is called fission, which release huge quantities of energy.]]> 2019-04-02 17:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347750860 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347751330 si]]> 2019-04-02 17:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347751330 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347751519 2019-04-02 17:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347751519 26richardel69 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347751909 Yes, I think it did determine the decision because, in the note it suggests that he start this action quickly. Therefore, he could be refering to bombing Japan. Also soon after he got the note he knew that they needed to end the war once and for all. That is why I think that the note did determine the decision to drop the bombs on Japan ;]]> 2019-04-02 17:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347751909 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347752033 Yes I think it did determine the decision to take action against Japan. I think this because Japan bombed us first. We just found out a way to make a more powerful bomb that packed a super deathifying punch. Also, Japan wouldn't surrender and America was through with the war we just weren't going to surrender to end it. This is why it did determine the decision to take action against Japan.]]> 2019-04-02 17:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347752033 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347752506 2019-04-02 17:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347752506 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347752749 No, I do not think it determined the decision to take action against Japan because it never really says that it needed to be dropped on Japan. They discovered this bomb they could create by separating atoms. Einstein never intended to use it as a weapon. President Kennedy found this powerful bomb and decided to use it as a weapon. In Summary, the bomb did not determine the decision against Japan.]]> 2019-04-02 17:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347752749 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347753163 No I don't think it determined to take action against Japan. I say this because the letter that Einstein wrote to Roosevelt only mentioned the creation of the bomb not the bombing on the Japan cities. ]]> 2019-04-02 17:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347753163 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347753546 2019-04-02 17:41:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347753546 https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347754402 2019-04-02 17:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aengstrand1/tu2qx6hpuovr/wish/347754402
