Description
This DBQ focuses on the justification and costs of dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This DBQ addresses the fact that while the bomb ended World War II, while there were critics who felt it was a barbaric act. We leave it up to you--Was it worth ending World War II by dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? This DBQ is a great argumentative piece that is aligned with the Common Core.
