31) After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the feelings of
animosity in America against Japan increased. By late
1945, the Allied leaders met in Germany with news of a
secret new weapon, called the atomic bomb, created by
American scientists, that was powerful enough to destroy
an entire city. However, there were some feelings that the
bomb was too powerful, and the leaders chose instead to
send the Potsdam Declaration to Japan warning them to
surrender. The Japanese military did not know about the
atomic bomb and ignored the warning, so on August 6th
1945, an American bomber called the Enola Gay was
dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. This blast killed an
approximated 70,000 people and destroyed more than
eighty percent of the city, but the Japanese still did not
surrender. The US dropped a second atomic bomb, and
after a furious debate in the Japanese cabinet, the emperor
of Japan announced a surrender. This day on the 14th of
August became known as V-J Day, for Victory over
Japan.

violence, since it only demonstrated rebellion.

development of a plan called the Great Society, which
was a plan with an ambitious goal to improve the standard
of living of every American. One of these important Great
Society programs was Medicare. This plan helped to pay
the hospital bills of citizens over the age of 65. Similar to
this program, Medicaid gave states money to help poor
people of all ages with medical bills. Along with this, he
fought to help Americans who lived below the poverty
line. The Economic Opportunity Act was passed in 1964
to set up job-training programs for the poor. It also gave
loans to businesses poor sections of the cities and offered
loans to poor farmers.
