What We Did Today
Hello! 👋
^^^ C’mon, lets get moving!
Objective: Determine the reasons why the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb.
I can evaluate the rationale for the dropping of the atomic bomb.
EQ: What causes global conflict?
Agenda: 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.
