    By July 1945, it was clear that Japan had been weakened by violent attacks, but there was no indication of any weakening of their determination to fight. In addition, the total strength of the Japanese Army was estimated to be close to 5,000,000 men, which posed an even greater threat to the United States (Blanche M. Touhill, 452). In order to end the war and bring down this large, determined army, the Potsdam Declaration was created. This ultimatum was designed to “spare the Japanese people from utter destruction”, as said by Truman (Kevin B., 605). This rejection shows that the Japanese army and government were aware of the possible dangers of the continuation of war and their choice to decline to surrender.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Address To Congress

    1216 Words  | 5 Pages

    Roosevelt segues his argument by transitioning from a hostile tone to one that is much more inspirational. He effectively structures his speech in a way that first allows him to establish the grave danger and destructive nature of the Japanese empire, which help him rouse sentiments of fury from the American people and draw them closer to supporting the war effort. Once he accomplishes this, Roosevelt then secures Americans’ support through the continual use of pathos to conjure feelings of confidence and pride for their nation. In the last half of his address to Congress, he fittingly assures the American people that with the “unbounding determination of our people, [America] will gain the inevitable triumph”, which will ensure that “this form of treachery shall never again endanger [them]” (Roosevelt). These powerful messages left the audience feeling a sense of empowerment and profound nationalism, instilling confidence that they could win the war.

    “What I am about to relate is anything but a pleasant story… For it is a story of such crime and horror as to be almost unbelievable… I believe it has no parallel in modern history.” These are words taken from the diary of George Fitch, one of the heroic leaders of the Nanking Safety Zone in Nanking, China. What happened there during the six weeks of Japanese occupation in December 1937 during the Second Sino-Japanese War is one of the foremost atrocities ever committed in the history of humankind.

    The existence of these demands and the content of Tojo’s speech clearly shows that Imperial Japan had a very clear set of aims; those being the utter destruction of the Allies in the Pacific and the subjugation of their territories. These aims epitomise the themes present in Förster’s Total War aims, therefore showing Imperial Japan’s outright devotion to the concept of Total War. Furthermore, Tojo’s words, combined with the aforementioned historical knowledge, show that Tojo understood World War II as largely won in the Pacific save for a few pockets of resistance in areas like Midway and Dutch Harbour. Ultimately, Förster’s Total War Aims play a major role in Tojo’s speech. To a large extent, Imperial Japan was completely devoted to the destruction of the Allied presence in the Pacific, clearly showing that Imperial Japan’s relationship with the concept of Total War was one of conviction to achieving
