ESSAY
76. ANS:
After trapping the British and French forces in Belgium, the Germans began to drive them toward the English
Channel. The Germans had captured nearly all of the ports except the one at Dunkirk in northern France. As
German forces closed in on Dunkirk, Hitler suddenly ordered them to stop. No one is sure why. Historians
know he was nervous about risking his tank forces, and he wanted to wait until more infantry arrived. Perhaps
Hitler believed Herman Goering that aircraft alone could destroy the soldiers trapped near Dunkirk. There is
also some evidence that Hitler thought that the British would be more willing to accept peace if the Germans
did not humiliate them by destroying their forces at Dunkirk. In any case, his order provided a three-day
delay. In that time, the British sent 850 ships of all sizes, some as small a sailboats operated by civilian
volunteers. They were able to save an estimated 338,000 British and French soldiers, a feat referred to as the
“Miracle of Dunkirk.”

President Roosevelt wanted to bomb Tokyo to raise the morale of the American people. American planes,
however, could reach Tokyo only if an aircraft carrier brought them close enough. Unfortunately, Japanese
ships in the North Pacific prevented carriers from getting close enough to Japan to launch their short-range
bombers. A military planner suggested replacing the carriers’ usual short-range bombers with long-range B25 bombers that could attack from farther away. Although the B-25s could take off from a carrier, they could
not land on its short deck. After attacking Japan, they would have to land in China. The raid resulted in the
first American bombs to fall on Japan.

A zoot suit had an overstuffed jacket that had wide lapels and reached to the knees, with very baggy, pleated
pants. Accessories included a wide-brimmed hat and a long key chain. Zoot-suit wearers usually wore their
hair long, gathered into a ducktail. The zoot suit angered many Americans. In order to save fabric for the war,
most men wore a “victory suit,” which had no vest, no cuffs, a short jacket, and narrow lapels. By
comparison, the zoot suit seemed unpatriotic. Also, crimes committed by young people had been rising
dramatically across the nation. The fact that many young Mexican Americans adopted the zoot suit linked
racism as well as fear of juvenile crime to the zoot suit. In Los Angeles, this mix resulted in violence against
Mexican American teenagers.

One adviser opposed using the bomb because it would kill civilians indiscriminately. Instead, he believed an
economic blockade and conventional bombing might convince Japan to surrender. Another adviser wanted to
warn the Japanese about the bomb while at the same time telling them that they could keep the emperor if
they surrendered. Another adviser wanted to drop the bomb without any warning to shock Japan into
surrendering. All his advisers warned President Truman to expect massive casualties if the United States
invaded Japan. Truman decided to drop the bomb because he believed it was his duty as president to use
every weapon available to save American lives.
