Objective: Determine the reasons why the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb.

Google Meet: Notes and Video

As we learned previously, the Allied powers launched the island hopping campaign to dismantle stratregic areas of the Japanese Empire. The plan was to inch closer and closer to Japan in order to launch a full scale land invasion of Japan – that was Plan A. However, a super secret project in the U.S. caused a dramatic shift to Plan B: the atomic bomb.

Cornell Notes: Open your notebook to a new page or open up a Google doc and set it up for notes. Take notes from the powerpoint below. These notes are critical for an assignment we’ll be working on for the rest of the week!
