Err, I can see a lot of bad answers. No there is no quot;directquot; connection between Pearl Harbor and the Atomic bombs being drop. Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941 and we dropped two atomic bombs in 1945. Why? because Germany was defeated and the US had the policy of quot;Germany firstquot; thats why we sent 70 percent our forces to Europe and only 30 percent to the Pacific. The casualties of a land invasion of Japan were estimated at 500,000 to 1 million and a prolonging of the war for 2 more years. Also the Soviets were attacking and invading everything and they were threatening an Invasion of Japan. So we killed over 500,000 Japanese with 2 atomic bombs which ended the war without further American lives lost, and it showed the Soviets quot;American Mightquot;. We were the only country with Nukes. You have to look at factors like that in war. This whole retarded idea of Japan sneak attacking the Philippines, and Pearl Harbor and we just pushed a red button and dropped atomic bombs is very common and ignorant. The war was 4 years long! not 3 days. Not to mention our Atomic bombs were not ready until 1945 or we would have hit Germany with them too. If we had those in 1941, Japan would have never attacked us. Its funny how so many misinformed people don t read my post and give me a thumbs down. There is no direct connection, in saying that you would be saying that we wanted quot;revengequot; the govt. doesn t think like that during war. They use logic and common sense for the most part and they try to bring wars to an end in the most efficient way. Pearl Harbor brought us into the war, end of story.
Your answer is flawed. You see Japan and Germany at that time had (or were) developing nukes before USA. If USA hit Germany with atom bombs Japan will not be scared. They were already having nuke programmes. And only 200000 lost their lives in Hiroshima and Nagasaki not 500000. Many points are wrong Report Abuse
The only real connection is this, Pearl Harbor started the war between Japan and the USA. The dropping of the Atomic bombs brought about an end to the war. So, they are the beginning and ending of the war, but they really were not retaliation bombings, but rather to force Japan to surrender. At the time, there really wasn t much arguement against the bombs, as the President adn advisors wanted to end the war without wasting more lives. Yes, Japan had begun talking about surrender, but wasn t close to surrender. They were training women and children to fight the known coming invasion.
There is no connection between the Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima/Nagasaki attacks. Go back to the opinions of the time; the A-bomb attacks were against a country of civilians that were willing to fight to the last man to preserve their empire. The two A-bomb attacks saved an estimated half million allied lives and at least twice as many Japanese lives. I cannot recall any arguments against using the A-bombs other than not knowing how far the nuclear reaction would progress. Again, don t be confused by 21st century reasoning, or simplistic answers (the real answers are simple, but not simplistic). We did not drop the bomb because the Japanese are orientals; if we were still fighting in Europe, we would have used it there, too. It would have saved many allied lives. We did not drop the bomb for revenge. We got that by firebombing, both in Japan and in Germany. In fact, we killed more Japanese by firebombing than by A-bombing. In my opinion, the A-bomb was used for the horror factor; one bomb destroys an entire city. It was well used, and to good effect; it caused the Empire of Japan to surrender.
Since the Japanese ttack on Pearl Harbor started the war with the US and the bo,bings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima were part of the war there is defintely a connection. The Americans did drop leaflets for weeks before the attacks warning them they were ging to be bombed but the Japaneses did a sneak attack so a little different. If you wanted millions more dead both military and Japanese civilians then it was a bad idea but if you think that the loss of those lives meant saving the millions who would have died in and amphibous assualt and then long ground campaign afterwards was worth it then it was a good idea. Personally yes it was a good idea and it did save millions of Japanese military and civilian lives and more importantly millions of American military lives. The bombing of Nagasaki would not have happened bt the Japanese refused to surrender after the first one so stop and think who is actually responsible for the attacks-the Japanese start a war after having one city devasted by an aomic weapon still refuse to surrender until a second is dropped; even then the Japanese military did not want to surrender but was ordered to by the Empereor; you think they would not have fought to the last man.
Sort of, most people think dropping the baby was to avenge Pearl Harbor but that was avenge three years before, at Midway. The Battle 360 episode on Midway WAS called quot;Vengeance at Midway.quot; US casualties at Pearl Harbor: 5 battleships and 2 destroyers sunk 188 aircraft destroyed 2402 people killed Japanese casualties at Midway: 4 carriers and 1 cruiser sunk, 264 aircraft destroyed 3057 people killed The main target at Pearl Harbor were the US carrier which were away at the time and the US sunk 4 Japanese carrier at Midway, which is equivalent to about more 10 battleships sunk. Well people are stupid and don t give a sh1t sometimes so they ll say dropping the bomb was to avenge Pearl Harbor even thou it was drop to save lives. Over millions of American AND Japanese lives were spare to the lost of only less than 100,000 lives
1. The regular bombings of Dresden in Germany and Tokyo killed more people each than either of the Atomic Bombs initial blasts. But they weren t as dramatic so you don t hear about them. 2. The US knew that the Japanese would fight to the last man. They estimated approximately 100,000 US soldiers wouldn t have to die taking over Japan if they dropped the bombs. 3. Arguably more Japanese people might have died in the invasion of Japan than from the bombings, because they are tough and fight to the end. 4. The US knew there were going to be problems with the USSR after the war, and wanted to send a message to the USSR: don t mess with the US. 5. Arguments against: They killed a lot of civilians and made us look barbaric. But what they often don t teach in the history books is that the Japanese soldiers killed a LOT of Asian civilians who weren t Japanese. The Japanese were racist and thought they were better than all the other Asians. So they treated the other Asians like crap and forced the other Asian girls into prostitution to act as quot;comfort womenquot; for the Japanese soldiers. Women in Korea and China sometimes had to have sex with 25 to 35 men a day and they were beaten and treated like crap. So if the Japanese had atomic bombs you better believe they would have used them on the US. All great powers do things that are a little evil. What makes the United States such a great country is that our evil pales in comparison to the evil of the countries we ve beaten. People say the US is an evil empire. But if you think we are evil, imagine what kind of an empire the Nazis would have been. Imagine what kind of an empire the Japanese would have been. Just look at what kind of an empire the USSR was. Stalin once starved 7 million Ukrainians to death. That s more than the number of Jews killed in the holocoaust, but you rarely hear about that. And the USSR killed many more millions of other people by other methods. Just imagine what a horrible place the world would be if China ran the world. Thank God the US won the cold war, because if the Russians won the cold war things would be a hell of a lot worse.
Ok, of course there is a connection. There is no such thing as an opinion, when it comes to this. The whole reason they dropped the bombs in Japan is because of Pearl Harbor. You must no be very old if you don t know that. You don t need other people to answer this. Either look it up on the internet, or read a book. it is not hard information to find.
The USA was warning Japan about invading certain countries. They then stopped sharing oil with Japan. The Japanese attacked. Also, the Americans dropped the bomb because they said that Japan would not surrender in a prolonged war, but they were already on the brink of surrender as the first Russian divisions landed in Japan.
obviously there is a connection. the japanese bombed pear harbor, bringing the us into the war, and we bombed hiroshima and nagasaki, ending the war. we dropped the bombs, resulting in massive casulties, because the deaths that would have resulted from an invasion would have been much greater
Japan wanted us to get into the war, so they bombed pearl harbor. So we nuked em and then the war was over. I think the only arguments against the use of the bomb came after the fact that it had happened. Because nobody knew that they even existed except us.
I don t see much connection. The USS Enterprise (CV-6) and other ships conducted many mission against some Japanese base in retaliation of the attack on Pearl Habour. The real retaliation aginst the attack on Pearl Habour was the Doolittle Raid.
Wow. Yes there is a connection. We dropped the bombs in retaliation to what they did to Pearl Harbor. As we well should have. What they did was atrocious.
Is this a homework or test question? Perhaps you should search for the answer yourself as oppose to getting somone here to answer it for you.
Duh the start of the USA joining the war and the USA ending the WAR with Japan. Vet-USAF
I once heard a Pearl Harbor vet say, quot;If there wasn t a Pearl Harbor there would not have been a Hiroshima.quot;
uhhh yea...it s called a war and what is YOUR opinion. DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK
It s not opinion, it s a fact.
yes there is a connection it was World War II where have you been?
we were field testing our new weapons.the japanese made the mistake of attacking us .
