World War 2
If I can change any event in history it will be world war II because in some way it was the most tragically for me. In this essay you will find my opinion of the war and the prevention of it. I think that in some way the war couldn’t be stop or prevent, because it was just going to happen anyway. In World War two there were many battles fought. One of the most controversial issues for the United States was not even a battle though. It was the use of the atomic bomb on two Japanese cities. I believe that the US was right in using the atomic bombs on Japan. The Japanese planned a secret attack on the United States. It all culminated on Sunday, December 7, 1941 with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The attack was so cruel in the fact that it was a Sunday, a "Holy" day, and there were no true warning signs.

But as a country with high moral standards, we chose to pick a city that fit our specifications. Hiroshima and Nagasaki fit our descriptions, and therefore were bombed. To take any the lives of the inhabitants of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a very hard choice for the United States. President Truman finally decided to go ahead with the bombings after he sent a warning to Japan that they failed to heed. When they did not surrender after the first bombing, we dropped the second one. We had no choice but to bomb them a second time. We had to show them that we were serious, more powerful, and that it was time that they saw this and surrendered. The United States bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was uncalled for. The United States murdered thousands of innocent victims. We had not told Japan that we possessed the power to destroy entire cities with one bomb, or that we in fact had any power beyond them. We
