Process Paper                  
Home        The decision of dropping the atomic bomb was a huge conflict between Truman and many people in U.S. government and the Japanese, and was a compromise for the U.S. when World War II ended. We chose this topic because it has an abundance of information and it’s very interesting when it comes to information on the war, with very good points to be learned.

       We did most of our research at Jonathon’s dad’s workshop on the internet, but did manage to get a few books, a letter from Einstein to Truman , and a documentary from National Geographic on Japan’s atomic bomb. Our best source of information was the internet because it has a wide variety of sources.

       The materials we used are Microsoft FrontPage, to make the website, Microsoft Word, to type the information, a CD and two flash drives, to store our progress. We started our project by getting a basic idea on World War II. Then we had meetings at Jonathon’s dad’s workshop. Jonathon worked on the website by inserting information from his research paper, while Justin collected pictures, quotes, and dates. The following days, Jonathon constructed the website, inserting the information, while Justin typed the process paper and annotated bibliography. Afterward, before the project was due, we made every web page necessary, inserting the information, quotes, and pictures. We received, generally, a small amount of technical help from Jonathon’s dad. 

       In conclusion, we believe that the decision to drop the atomic bomb onto the two cities in Japan was a conflict because the dropping itself can cause a lot of mayhem and destruction toward a country and its population, but a compromise because many historians believe that it has saved about half a million American soldiers, plus the entire Japanese race, if we had to resort to a land invasion that would have been necessary to force Japan to surrender.
