Dropping the Atomic bomb: victimization or triumph? The dropping of the atom bomb on Japan is
remembered in two different ways. Read the Historical Narratives. Partner A/B – you are looking for facts that
support the victimization argument Partners A/B – you are looking for facts that
support the triumph argument Record facts on your handout

Reasons for dropping the A-Bomb1. Potsdam Declaration, U.S. asks Japan to surrender. Japan
believed “unconditional surrender” was not tolerable.
2. Americans were suffering many casualties and the Japanese were showing no signs of possible negotiation.
3. A cease fire was non-negotiable.
4. If the United States dropped the atomic bomb, surrender and peace would probably occur.
