Solutions for All Learners
Tell students that the main concepts for this chapter are Cooperation, Conflict, Democracy, Genocide, Science, and Tech-nology and then ask them to answer the Cumulative Review questions on this page. Discuss the Connections to Today topics and ask students to answer the questions that follow.
Cumulative Review
1.
Students should give reasons for their position on the question of whether democratic governments are justified in curtailing the rights of citizens. For example, they might argue that the curtailment of certain rights is a way to better protect the majority of citizens.
2.
Students should describe the Holocaust and compare it to the Armenian geno-cide in light of the factors highlighted in the question.
3.
Students should carry out research and reach conclusions comparing medical advances in the treatment of wounded men during WWII to the discoveries of Louis Pasteur.
Connections to Today

! Cumulative ReviewRecord the answers to the questions below on your Con-cept Connector worksheets. In addition, record information from this chapter about the following concepts:• Cooperation: United Nations• Conflict: World War II• Technology: Nuclear Power
1. Democracy During World War II, the United States govern-ment interned Japanese Americans in camps, citing security concerns. This was a curtailment of American citizens’ indi-vidual rights. Do you think such actions are ever justified by a democratic government? Why or why not?
2. Genocide What was the Holocaust? Compare the Holo-caust to the Armenian genocide carried out by the Ottoman Turks. How were they similar and different? Consider:• nation-building and nationalism• murder of minority leaders• large-scale deportations• systematic torture and murder• use of concentration camps
3. Science Several advances in science improved the survival rates of injured soldiers during World War II. Do research to learn more about one of the following medical advances dur-ing World War II and then compare it to Louis Pasteur’s advances. Which do you think was more significant?• blood plasma• sulfanilamide or sulfa powder• widespread use of penicillin
! Connections to Today1. Conflict: The Arab-Israeli Conflict Partly in response to
the horrors of the Holocaust, the United Nations created a plan to divide Palestine into two states—one Arab and one Jewish. Jews accepted the plan, but Arabs rejected it. When the Jewish state of Israel was born in 1948, the surrounding Arab coun-tries invaded Israel. Between 1956 and 1973, three more wars erupted between Israel and Arab states. Conflict between Arabs and Israelis continued into the early 2000s despite many attempts at peace. What historical reasons did the United Nations have for creating a Jewish state in Palestine?
2. Cooperation: The United Nations Is EstablishedFifty nations met in April 1945 to draft a charter for the United Nations. Today, the UN’s work goes far beyond peace-keeping to include economic development, disease preven-tion, and refugee protection. Conduct research and write two paragraphs about a program sponsored by the UN in the last five years.

Writing About History
As students begin the assignment, refer them to p. SH13 of the
Writing Handbook
for help in writ-ing a research paper. Remind them of the steps they should take to complete their assignment, including prewriting, drafting, and revising. For help in revis-ing, remind them to use the guidelines on p. SH15 of the
Writing Handbook.
Students’ research papers should tell the story of one of the people or groups specified and explain how that person or group demonstrated courage or personal sacrifice. They should contain an introduc-tion, a body, and a conclusion. They should show evidence of reflection and be free of grammatical and spelling errors. For scoring rubrics for writing assignments, see
Assessment Rubrics,
p. 8.
Document-Based AssessmentThe Decision to Use the Atomic BombPerhaps no decision in American history has been more hotly debated than Harry S. Truman’s decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in August 1945. Documents A and B are two historians’ views on Truman’s decision.
Document A“It was believed with deep apprehension that many thousands,
probably tens of thousands, of lives of Allied combatants would have been spent in the continuation of our air and sea bombard-ment and blockade. . . . But the people who would have suffered most, had the war gone on much longer and their country invaded, were the Japanese. One American incendiary air raid on the Tokyo area in March 1945 did more damage and killed and injured more Japanese than the bomb on Hiroshima.“
—From The Atomic Bomb and the Endof World War II by Herbert Feis
Document B“Even without the use of the atomic bombs, the war would prob-
ably have ended before an American invasion of Kyushu [one of the four main islands of Japan] became necessary. Conditions in Japan were steadily deteriorating . . . The destruction of cities from B-29 raids, diminishing food supplies, [and] decreased pub-lic morale fostered enough discontent to worry the emperor and his advisors. . . . Even without the atomic attacks, it seems likely that the emperor at some point would have acted in the same way that he did in the aftermath of Hiroshima to end the war.“
—From Prompt and Utter Destruction: Truman and the Use ofAtomic Bombs Against Japan by J. Samuel Walker

Document CIn the spring of 1945, the Allies’ island-hopping campaign in the Pacific brought them closer to the heart of Japan. When American troops invaded first the island of Iwo Jima, then the island of Oki-nawa, the Japanese fought fiercely, but unsuccessfully, to keep them from gaining control. They knew that the Allies planned to use the islands as a base for an invasion of Japan itself.

Japan to rebuild its military.
3. J. Samuel Walker’s main argument against the use of atomic bombs is thatA atomic bombs were more destructive than conventional
bombs.B an American invasion would not have been as destructive
as the bombs.C the war would have ended anyway.D the Japanese emperor opposed the use of atomic bombs.
4. Writing Task Which of the historians quoted in Documents A and B do you agree with most strongly? Why? Use your knowledge of World War II and specific evidence from the documents to support your opinion.
