For this assignment, you should create a 5-minute video in which you brief the new President, Harry Truman, on the war vs. Japan, and explain why the U.S. should / should not drop atomic bombs on Japan.
Read Revel source 27.2 “Franklin Roosevelt, speech after Pearl Harbor,” watch Revel source video 27.6 “Japanese Internment Camp Items.” Also watch the video at Revel 27.4.3 “Harry Truman: Do you Drop Atomic Bombs on Japan?”
Follow this outline for creating your response:
Summarize Roosevelt’s speech. What were the main complaints against Japan? Why did Roosevelt call for immediate military action? Make 2 specific references to this speech, as you prep new President Truman on the attack.
Based on the Internment camp video, was the treatment of Japanese civilians justified? What items did they bring to the camps? What can we learn about life in the camps from these physical items?
Watch the video on Truman’s decision. Take one of these viewpoints……..The Japanese have “paid their dues” for the Pearl Harbor attack. Civilians were put into camps. The war has been successful. The bomb is too dangerous and un-tested to use in combat.
This has been a total war vs the Japanese, at home and abroad. The bombs need to be dropped on Japan to complete the mission of defeating the enemy.
