4) What function does morality play in historians' views of the past?

Answer 1

3) The impact of the atomic bomb which destroyed the life of Japanese people when it struck Hiroshima on August 6 and August 9 1945. This was followed by a total political retaliation in USA newspapers in 1946,1947 where the droppings of nuclear bomb on Japan was deeply regreted but USA retaliated by saying that such news will hinder the development of nuclear warfare in USA and will further spoil the business relationships with many countries. The military and government officials of USA said it is a distortion of the original events which can lead to misunderstandings in USA. This was in response to the attack on Pearl harbor in Australia which immediately caused retaliation in major parts of USA government officials and military units. The Japanese carried out mass killings of prisoners of war and attacked many regions in south asia.

4) The role of morality in the historians views of the past include the discussion of the events and situations which led to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, equipment and training of the armymen with use of the types of artillery and guns used in world war- II. Lakhs of people were killed during these attacks with generations of japanese sufferiing from various diseases. The rifles and guns should be manufactured in company machines and should not be carved out indigenously in small units. History emphasizes that the closing of these artificial weapon making units decreases the incidences of war and that is the difference in the gun acquired by a civilian and that acquired by an army man. It is argued that country should be able to destroy the war making capacity of some other country which is its enemy so that the incidences of war can be decreased tremendously. The adavances in technology has led to a sophistication in the development of nuclear warfare and arsenal, planes and other machines like tanks and weapons which can destroy the weaker enemies.
