Section 3
The U.S. has won against the Germans. Now the have to deal with the Japanese and to do that they have to drop a atomic bomb because the U.S. knows that the Japanese dont give up so easily and they are hard to defeat so the U.S. drops an atomic bomb on hiroshima and warns them and they still dont surrender so they drop a second one on nagasaki. The Japanese surrenders leading to a allied victory. The dropping of the bomb killed many civilians in Japan and caused major damage. They also knew that a normal conventional battle would cost to much and have to many deaths so they just dropped the bombs insead.
The nuremberg trials happened after the halocaust. It set rules and standards on how far you can go with war. You couldn't kill your own people. It was created after Hitler committed suicide. It stopped any crimes against humanity pretty much making the world less inhumane.
