  1. Hitler – TIME’s Man of the Year • 1938 “Man of the Year” • Based on the most significant impacts in human history • Highly controversial! • 2010 – Mark Zuckerberg • 2011 – “The Protestor”

  2. Hitler: One of the Greatest Public Speakers of All Time!!!! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9fEM-MfSiU

  3. “No pity, no surrender. You don’t really comprehend it until you get out there and fight people are faced with an absolutely hopeless situation and just will not give up”-The GI Diaries Remember Bushido Code?

  4. After the war, Americans heard of horrifying POW stories • When Japanese captured the Philippines in 1942 they forced about 75,000 American & Filipino prisoners to march 65 miles with no food or water • 10,000 prisoners died during this Bataan Death March

  5. Anti-Japanese Fear = Propaganda • Bravery & ruthlessness appeared savage • Americans saw Japanese as ‘not quite human, but rather primitive & animalistic’ “Most Americans, from the time they’re kids, are taught not to hit below the belt. It’s not sportsmanlike. Well…nobody has taught the Japs that, and war ain’t a sport. Kick him in the balls before he kicks you in yours” “Don’t hesitate to fight the Japs dirty”

  6. Souvenirs? • Plucked teeth • Sliced off ears • Removed skulls • Cut out ribs • Disembodied fingers & toes

  7. The Surrender of Japan Truman (U.S.), Churchill (G.B.) & Stalin (Sov.) met at Potsdam, Germany in summer 1945

  8. U.S. scientists had developed a secret new weapon – the atomic bomb Atomic bomb – a single bomb powerful enough to destroy an entire city http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhSKqzwwypQ

  9. Potsdam Declaration • From Potsdam, Allied leaders sent a message warning Japan to surrender or face “prompt & utter destruction” • Japanese thought Allies were bluffing & ignored this Potsdam Declaration

  10. The First BombAugust 6 1945 – U.S. bomber Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, JapanMain, centralized, populated city • Enola Gay – U.S. B-29 bomber • “Little Boy” dropped on Hiroshima • First nuclear weapon to ever be used in war • 130,000 people killed instantly • Thousands would die in years to come

  11. The Second BombAugust 9th 1945- a second atomic bomb was dropped on NagasakiCentral port hub, resources, navy, economy • 3 days later • August 9, 1945 • Boxcar bomber • “Fat Man” dropped on Nagasaki (port city) • Incinerates everything within 2 mile radius • 75,000 killed (1/3 population of Nagasaki) • Thousands die from radiation later on

  12. Hmm….something to ponder: • We fight passionately against the unjust dictatorships of the Axis Powers (& the eventual discovery of a mass genocide)… • Yet we drop atomic bombs…twice…on innocent civilians in Japan? * It’s ironic that science & technology meant to improve the evolution of societies can potentially lead to ultimate destruction versus an elevation of the human race

  13. A-Bomb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv0b_Uumwm4

  14. August 14 1945 – the emperor of Japan announced that his nation would surrender • Formal surrender – September 2 1945 on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay • The warship flew the same American flag that had waved over Washington D.C. on the day Japan bombed PH

  15. V-J Day: “Victory in Japan” September 2, 1945

  16. Deadliest War in History • Between 30,000,000 & 60,000,000 killed • WW1 was mainly fought in trenches • WW2 = bombers destroyed houses, factories & farms so millions were homeless with no income “To get home you had to end the war. To end the war was the reason you fought it. The only reason”

  17. Why Would YOU Fight A War? • What would make you join up in arms? Where do you draw the line? • Family? • Freedoms? • Limitations? • Patriotism/ Nationalism? • Curiosity? Let’s Talk About It!

  18. Can You Guess the Difference???

  19. The traditional Japanese flag vs. the Japanese Warrior Rising Sun flag Used in Japanese army & navy during wartime. Kamikaze pilots would wrap Rising Sun bandanas around their heads before a mission as good luck & protection of the spirit. Friends/ family would sign any white areas of a Japanese flag & send it with their soldier as he left for war. If the flag was found, it was customary to mail it “back home”

  20. What would YOUR legacy be? • What would you want to leave behind??? • Design & create your own “warrior bandana” • Add quotes, images, items important to you • Pick any color you like • Use scissors, markers, crayons, etc…
