The United States has decided to launch a land invasion against Japan in hopes of ending World War II. Another two million American doughboys have been sent across the Pacific Ocean in hopes of putting an end to the hellacious battle against the suicidal tactics of the Japanese. Imagine the sight of horror and carnage that came from the land battle the United States decided to give a shot. Looking up and down the red blood soaked beach, the sand is almost non-visible from the bodies of our brothers, husbands, sons, and fathers that were fighting for their lives on a deselect island in hopes of putting an end to the battle. A soldier is forced to step over the body of a friend of his from base on his journey to get off the beach. As he runs towards the woodland, fellow soldiers scream and fall as their life is cut short by an enemy bullet. Just as he steps past the last sand on the beach, a shot rings out, he falls to the ground, and his life is over. This is what life would have been like for many years if the United States had decided to go with a land battle against Japan. Millions of Americans would have lost their lives on the beaches hoping to make a difference in the war to end it soon. Now imagine a chance to change history, and end the war in a quick moment. On August 6, 1945, the Enola Gay dropped an Atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Although some people feel that this was an inhumane act and made us war criminals, in the end, dropping the bomb was the right decision. As stated in An Eye on History, "All weapons of war are immoral. Is killing one person with a bullet moral? Is killing a few with a grenade? Is killing a hundred with artillery?" (Doyle) On a special edition of "Nightline" a few years ago, Ted Koppel said: "What happened over Japan was a human tragedy But what was planned to tale place in the way between Japan and the United States would almost certainly have been a greater tragedy.

Three days last as another atomic bomb wrecked havoc in Japan, Ray told his mother in a letter sent home, that he would soon be home (Carter Interview). After the war, Ray set sail again for the Pacific, this time just visiting as a friend rather than a foe, to the places he had once earlier been at with the Navy. ...

The hydrogen bomb was to be vastly more powerful than the atomic bomb. The idea was to add about 12 kilograms of liquid heavy hydrogen to the ordinary fission bomb. The fission bomb would explode creating extremely high -6- temperatures enabling the hydrogen to undergo a fusion reaction resulting in a heavier element and a burst of energy with a force 500 times greater than was released by the first fission bomb. The danger, some scientists believed, was that having a bomb this large would react with the nitrogen or hydrogen in the atmosphere and create a chain reaction. ...
