Question 5

The dropping of the atomic bombs to end World War II was the logical culmination of a war that was unprecedented in the targeting of civilian populations in the fighting.

Accepted Answer

The bombing of civilian populations was an unfortunate reality of World War II, with targets such as cities and civilian infrastructure being targeted. The use of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States was seen as a means to quickly end the war and avoid the necessity of a lengthy invasion of the Japanese mainland, which would have likely resulted in even more civilian casualties. While the decision to use atomic weapons remains controversial, it was seen as a logical culmination of a war that had seen such unprecedented targeting of civilian populations.

Question 6

Freedom of speech and freedom of worship were not principles expressed by the Atlantic Charter because FDR feared their application to the African-American struggle for racial justice and equality at home.

Accepted Answer

The Atlantic Charter was a declaration of principles issued by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in August 1941, before the U.S. entered World War II. The Charter focused on the goals of promoting collective security, disarmament, and free trade. It did not explicitly address freedom of speech or freedom of worship as these principles were already established in the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, FDR's alleged fear of these principles applying to the African-American struggle for racial justice and equality at home is not the reason why they were not expressed in the Charter.
