Found Awesomness... (PLEASE WATCH!!!) media type="youtube" key="-S8zbq5TMBk" height="390" width="480" This video has some great Photos and great audio, from the president that show the true passion that people felt in their homes during the war.



This photos is of the massive destruction that the atomic bomb caused. The bomb not only spread for such a long distance, Japan was also infected with Radiation. People got so sick and died for years after, because of that bomb.

This Photo is of the Crew and Plane that dropped the Atomic Bomb little boy on to Japan to end the war. The plane is still kept and preserved at a Museum in Washington D.C

Americans keep on island hoping Japan Never Gave up!
 * Alot of japanese died in the famous battle of Iwogima
 * The Bombing was only getting worse for the Japanese
 * Cites were wrecked, people were out of jobs
 * People starved and went searching for food
 * 4800 kamikaze aircraft and 600 kamikaze boat
 * Then US Dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hirojima and Nagasaki 4 days later
 * The death toll rose rapidly.. then over the next few weeks more and more people died of Radation
 * Emperor Hirohito Surrendered
 * surrendered to General Douglas MacArthur in Tokyo Sept 1945

Main ideas of what happened from 1942 -1945 were that the Casablanca Conference, and the bomber offensive were very important parts during WWII. During 1943 the allies are making headway to their road to winning the war. They are constantly pressuring the Japanese and Germans. It Turns into Total war, there is economic warfare being involved, countries are firebombing factories, railways anything that would cause havoc to the county itself. Then 1944 the Germans see that there is trouble so they are starting to retreat. So are the Japanese, the US is moving in on them by island hopping and in Germany by having 3 Fronts open. By 1945 the US has put full pressure onto Japan and finally defeated the Axis.
