The Conflict between the Allies and the Axis

The purposeful bombing of civilians as a wartime strategy has oftentimes been used to bring about the end of a war, but controversy has sparked up about the ethicality of this practice because of its mass destruction of human lives. This tactic goes against human nature’s aversion to intentionally cause harm without a reasonable basis. Is the bombing of innocent people justified if it ultimately brings an end to the war? This ethical question arises when considering the issue of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

On September 1, 1939, there was a World War II between the Allies and Axis. The main Allies leaders were Joseph Stalin from the Soviet Union, Franklin D. Roosevelt from the United States, Winston Churchill from the United Kingdom, and Chiang Kai-shek from China. The main Axis leaders were Adolf Hitler from the Nazi in Germany, Hirohito from Japan, and Benito Mussolini from the Kingdom of Italy. WWII started when German troops invaded Poland and France was declaring a war against Germany. In May 7, 1945, Europe ended with Germany’s surrendering. The war end when Japan surrendered on September 2. 1945. In World War II, there was over 2.5 million African American that registered for the drafts. Only one million of them were accepted to served

The Nazi slaughter of European Jews during World War II, commonly referred to as the Holocaust, occupies a special place in our history. The genocide of innocent people by one of the world's most advanced nations is opposite of what we think about the human race, the human reason, and progress. It raises doubts about our ability to live together on the same planet with people of other cultures and persuasions.

The Holocaust is the undisputed genocide of all genocides, and it has been contended energetically by numerous students of history that no other dim period in mankind's history very thinks about to it. Albeit subjectively valid in a few perspectives, current students of history no longer need to depend on shades of obscurity keeping in mind the end goal to break down genocide.

The Holocaust is one of the most infamous genocides in history. “Genocide” is defined as “the deliberate killing of people who belong to a particular racial, political, or cultural group” (“Genocide”). According to Lila Perl, author of

WWI was an international conflict between the Central Powers and the Allies that lasted four years.The Central Powers consisted of the Ottoman Empire, Germany, and Austria-Hungary and the Allies consisted of Great Britain, France, Russia, and the United States. WWI was a traumatic event for soldiers involved, transformed societies, and the world. For something to be transformative, there must be a change from its original state. This relates to All Quiet on the Western Front (AQWF), by Erich Maria Remarque because the novel tells the story of a German soldier, named Paul Baumer, who naively enlists in the military after being recruited by his literature teacher. Throughout the novel, Paul endures the traumatic realities of

Good versus evil, the allies versus the axis, world war II was raging throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia. Neither winning nor losing was guaranteed to either side, so each wanted an ace up their sleeve. In fear of Germany acquiring a nuclear bomb, the United States set up their own program, the Manhattan project, in order to make one before the Nazis could. With the help of British and refugee scientists, and a blank check of two billion dollars, now $32.5 billion, the Manhattan project was born in 1942, and only three years later in 1945, the first atomic bomb was tested in New Mexico. Ironically, by this time Germany had stopped trying to make a nuclear bomb. Although the war was reaching its final hour, Japan showed no intention to surrender, so in order to avoid a costly invasion, the United States pulled out its ace and dropped Little Boy on Hiroshima and 3 days later, Fat Man on Nagasaki . With the war having ended and the world having seen the grand awe of a nuclear weapon, the enemy of my enemy is my friend mentality of the United States’ and Soviet Union’s alliance was no more, and the two superpowers were thrust into the Cold War. Although the cold war caused death and despair, the arms race between the United States and Soviet union had positive effects, therefore the cold war had a positive effect on the world.

The Holocaust was the single most heinous act in history for many reasons, the first of which is the death toll of innocent men, women, and children, almost as horrifying was the treatment of German Citizens within the camps and ghettos, and finally the effect Hitler and his Nazi regime still has on the world and America today.

During World War II, two main factions were at war. Those two powers were the Axis Powers and the Allied Powers. The Axis consisted of Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Bulgaria. The Allies consisted of Great Britain, France, China, Russia, and America. There were two theaters, or areas of conflict, that the Americans were participating in. Those two fronts were the Pacific Theatre, which was centered around Japan and other islands, and there was the European. During World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower was the president at the time. Later on in the war, when there was a stale mate that was about to go in the favor of one power or the other, the Allied forces decided to make a swift and decisive offensive move. Eisenhower

The Holocaust is considered one of the most horrific events of all time.  The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the murder/slaughter of about 6 million people, mostly Jews, between the years of 1941 and 1945.  These murders were done under the rule of Nazi Germany and its collaborators, who helped kill more people outside of Germany itself.

At a time when the Allied powers had very little success in World War II, the idea of an amphibious landing was explored thoroughly and determined to be the only way to get a foothold into Hitler’s empire. The invasion was a bloody 3 day encounter on 5 beaches that resulted in an enormous exchange between Hitler and the Allies. Because of this, it gave a rise to the power to the Allies in Europe when D-day was victorious.

The Holocaust is one of the worst things to happen to humanity in the history of humanity. We

World War II was a global conflict between the Allied and Axis powers which began to consume countries of the eastern hemisphere in 1939. At this point, Americans were isolationist. To keep the U.S. out of future wars, congress passed a Neutrality Act. On september 1, 1939, World war II broke loose. German tanks destroyed everything in its way. Congress passed the “cash-and-carry” provision allowing warring nations to buy U.S arms with paid cash and transported with their own ships. Six weeks after, congress passed the neutrality act of 1939, and the cash-and-carry policy went into effect. By summer of 1940, Roosevelt provided Britain with “all aid short of war”. On September 27, Germany, Italy, and Japan had signed a mutual defense treaty, The tripartite pact. The three nations became known as the Axis Power. After German submarines fired on the U.S. destroyer, Greer, on september 4, 1941, Roosevelt ordered the navy to shoot German submarines on sight. The United states was now in an undeclared war with Hitler.

Purposeful bombing of civilians during war has been a common occurrence, but the ethicality of such a practice has been called into question. Generally, there tends to be a great aversion to intentionally causing harm without reasonable basis, yet this type of strategy is still in use. Is the bombing of innocent people justified if it ultimately brings an end to the war? The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II clearly exemplifies the ethical question of whether bombing civilians was right or wrong.

It is important to understand the context in which the world conducted itself before and
