Essential Questions:

·       Question 1: What were the possible alternatives to dropping of the bomb?  What were America’s motives in dropping the atomic bomb?  Were these motives justified? 

·       Question 2: Why did the United States drop the second bomb so soon after the first?  Was the use of the atomic bomb necessary to end the war?  Ultimately, did the decision to use the atomic bomb make the world safer or more dangerous?
