Actually, no, there's proof that the USA just wanted to shown it's power to the USSR (or however you organize the letters.), so it throwed two atomic bombs, one in Hiroshima, and one in Nagasaki, if it was just to end the war, the USA could just have launched one single bomb, it would have the same effect.

The US began development of an atomic bomb because they recieved bad/incorrect info stating that the Germans were working on building an atomic bomb. I think in actuality they were working on a nuclear reactor, not a bomb.

The Allies wanted Japan to surrender unconditionally. Japan would not do so. Bomb1. Japan would not do so. Bomb2. "Okay, okay, we give."

Why pack your bags? You're dutch!

and red Dwarf

*sigh* Once again The officials in america make a stupid decision...Why do they always have to think EVERYTHING involves them, and if it doesn't it SHOULD?! >.<" and throwing two nukes only to show power...that's kinda...ignorant, yep ignorant as hell. Stupid too. and no offence...but it seems to be, The American Way!

actually those two nukes ended that war. it was either throw two bombs, or storm japan where we were clearly out numbered....see the thought process?

America is a different place now. You can't call it still te same america we have different people in power. Thats like saying prince charles is the same as elizabeth 1. Maybe not as extreme, but still the same Idea.

the point is. It was a different time.

edit: and before you call a country ignorant, make sure you know enough about that country, otherwise you're being ignorant yourself. Kinda ironic..ain't it?

...If the nukes ended the war...What do you call pearl harbour then? Didn't that happen AFTER the nukes?

Aaaand...Queen elizabeth and prince charles arent exactly our equivalent to the american president...heck, the "royalty" are barely involved in politics, they're just useless figures in an ancient family >.<"
Kinda ironic and ignorant you judged before you knew, eh Carmen?

I said nothing about the country, I was merely dissing the presidents, after all, the one america has at the moment isnt too bright himself, now is he?, but then again, I could say the same for Tony blair lol

Didn't that happen AFTER the nukes?

Actually. No. That was before.

ah well, I failed american history XD

Wait, I wasnt taught american history...that would explain my complete Un-knowingness on the topic :p ah well, you got me wrong there, but I still stick by my opinion that America makes really dumb decisions (Kyoto Summit anyone?)

[Darkfox]

This is about it in a nutshell, or so the way the history books say at least...

US: Lets fight!
Japan: YEAH!
US: Lets stop fighting!
Japan: YEAH but now we will bomb Pearl Harbor!
US: Oh you bombed Pearl Harbor! Now we nuke you!
Japan: No!
US: Lets use 2 nukes! One in Hiroshima, and one in Nagasaki!
Japan: No! Ok, lets stop.
US: YEAH!

XD just trying to spread some humor on it.

Come on, who needs the US? Go to Europe or Southern-America!

[Meiscool-2]

Europe needs the US for one thing.

yep...PORN!

World Powers:

Babylon
... is conquered by ...
Medo-Persian empire
... is conquered by ...
Greecian empire
... is conquered by ...
Roman Empire

Who conquered the Roman empire? No one. Rome expanded it's territory outward, including far north.

Britian is logically the next world power to have emerged, however it is still, theoretically, part of the Roman empire.

Settlers from Britian create what is now known as the US.

US and Britian co-rule the world as a branch from the ancient Roman Empire.


I always thought this was interesting. It probably isn't all that interesting to you. Why is it interesting to me? Because this change of power down till today is outlined in the Bible, in the book of Daniel, TWICE.

Germany beat Rome's ***. That's who conqured them.
