INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Introduction: Reason/Reasons for writing the research paper Reason 1-
I was interested in learning about the tragic event that happened in Hiroshima
and Nagasaki.
Reason 2- Learning about the tragic event in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
helped me learn about the conditions the people suffered.
Reason 3- Doing this research paper, I learned that there were two sides to
this tragic event. There were those who agreed to the atomic bombings and
those who disagreed to the bombings. Their will be two sides to everything in
history. The people who disagreed to the atomic bombings did the right thing.
These historians wrote books about this tragic event. These historians have
their opinions about the atomic bombings. My research paper is opposing the
atomic bombings.
EVIDENCE/PROOF
Evidence 1- The people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were
unprepared to survive the attack.
Evidence 2- President Truman warned them and wanted Japan to
make an unconditional surrender. The Japanese can still keep their
emperor.
Evidence 3- Today, the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki still
remember the tragic event.

THESIS STATEMENT
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not
necessary to achieve victory in War of The Pacific.
CONCLUSION
The atomic bombings were unnecessary to achieve victory in the War of
the Pacific. The people suffered cancer effects and radiation sickness. Even the
kids have mental retarder-ness after the bombings. After this tragic event, these
atomic bombings influenced other countries to use atomic bombs like Russia
for example. Using these atomic bombs was a risky move and a dangerous one.
The U.S. should of have used something else. When they bombed these cities,
the scientists felt sick because of the death rate. Even some of the scientists
began founding councils to stop using atomic bombs. The atomic bombs are
dangerous to use on anybody.
