Over the last few days, we've been considering the end of the war in Europe by watching film clips of the Battle of the Bulge, FDR's Death and V-E Day. We've also been considering strategic bombing and what makes a legitimate target in war by seeing clips of the bombing of Dresden and the firebombing of Tokyo.
Today, we'll learn a bit more about the Battle of Okinawa and then examine Harry Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb first on Hiroshima and then on Nagasaki.
Here is a reading to guide our work:
Atomic Bomb: The Moment of Decision.
