you predict these groups will face in the decades to come?
Veterans Women African Americans
What did they gain in World War II?
During WW2 the lives of women had changed in so many ways. A total of eight million women had entered the work force during the war. Mostly half of these jobs were reserved for men only. African Americans gained some civil rights movements through their involvement with World War 2. Many African Americans wanted to be rewarded with at least a decent treatment. In response to this, Roosevelt established the Fair Employment Practices Commission. This act investigated cases were African Americans were discriminated against in war industries.
What challenges did they face at the end of the war?
Jobs that were reserved for men only, that were taking by women was a challenge. Many women that were working did not want to give up their jobs. Women did not want to go back to being a house wife. Many of the women that did work, enjoyed it. However, when the war was over the men wanted their jobs back, but the women didn’t want to. Women figured if they could do a man’s job then they should have equality rights. One of the biggest problems African Americans faced was equality. They wanted equality because they figured they deserved it, and they did. They didn’t want the same thing that happened in WW1 to happen again. In WW1, African Americans fought in the war because they thought it would help them gain equality. However, it did not. The race border line still stood. After WW2 they fought for race equality.
What progress did they make in the postwar period? Veterans gained the GI bill of Rights. The bill gave veterans a year’s unemployment compensation and medical coverage. It offered low interest loans for houses as well as veterans’ job training and education.
In the late 1960s a large number of women challenged their roles as women. They demanded an Equal Rights Amendment. This amendment was suggested many times in Congress in the 1950s. However, the lack of support for this amendment just put away but was not forgotten. African Americans fought hard for civil rights. There were small victories that made an impact on equality rights. Such as, the integration of the MLB team. Also, the Little Rock 9 project. At the end of the 1950s and beginning of the 1960s, African Americans began to stand up for equal pay.

1. What were the reasons the bomb should have been used on Japan?
In Japan, the Japanese did not want to surrender. The Japanese Army officer in Yokohama said if the war continued they would have kept on fighting until even if all the Japanese were killed, but they would never surrender. They were being stubborn and incoherent. The United States had given them ample opportunities to surrender to them, but every chance Japan was given they declined. Also, they had started this first because they bombed the Pearl Harbor. Japan used drastic measures during the war that were sometimes barbaric. For example, Japanese middle school girls around the ages of 12 and 13, were trained to attack and invade American soldiers with sharp bamboo polls. If the bomb did not drop 2 million of Japanese civilians, including children, would have died if the bomb dropped compared to a few thousands of civilians.
2. What were the reasons the bomb should not have been used on Japan?
However, at first the Japanese were not ready to surrender but they got to see that they were getting defeated. So eventually they were ready to surrender. In my opinion, I don’t think it was necessary to bomb an already distressed country. The United States was the first country to use such a powerful weapon. This event happened almost 80 years ago and Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still places that is not safe or adequate to live at. However, there is still a few people that live there today and they have major health problems. The animals in these places are also deformed like. When the bomb has dropped it carried a lot of radiation with it. Many people died because of the radiation. Also, this bomb had a long- term effect on Japan because these two places are still the highest places that have radiation. Japan was bombed repeatedly they dropped the first bomb in Hiroshima. Shortly after the first bomb as dropped, a second one was dropped on Nagasaki.
3. Should the atomic bomb have been used on Japan? Why or why not? Support your claim with evidence from the lesson.
 
Was it necessary for the United States to bomb Japan twice with only a 3 day gape in between the bombings? No. However, this was probably the only method the U.S could get Japan to surrender. If the nuclear weapons were not enforced then the U.S and Japan would have gotten into a full out war. Japan was getting ready for war. They were training ordinary civilians on how to become soldiers. The U.S had planned a secret operation. The name of this was called operation downfall. This operation contained the invasion of Japan by the Allies. However, the plan was not executed because Japan had surrendered. The bombings that took place in Nagasaki and Hiroshima has had a long term effect on Japan. These areas have the worst radiation in Japan. After the bomb was dropped , two to fourth months later, 90,000 to 166,000 civilians were killed from the affects of the bombing. Half of these deaths occurred when the bomb was dropped. Categorized, civilians died from flame burns (60%), falling debris (30%), and from other causes (10%). During the following months, large numbers of people died from burns, and also radiation sickness.
