SNHU His-100 Perspectives in History
Quiz 5-1-1 Historical Interpretations
1. What argument is Frisch making? This is the thesis statement.
o There is no way that detonation of an atomic bomb could have
avoided large loss of life
o The atomic bomb did not have as devastating impact on
Nagasaki as it did on Hiroshima
o Demonstration of the atomic bomb before deploying it might
have put pressure on Japan to surrender with minimal loss of life
o Scientist did not have the experience or the knowledge of
particle physics to demonstrate the atomic bomb before actually
using it
2. Why is Frisch making this argument? This is what is at stake
for him.
o Frisch believes that the impact of the atomic bomb on Japan was
not as environmentally bad as previously thought
o Frisch believed that the Allies had the political and military
means to have weighed other options to force unconditional
surrender with Japan before using the atomic bomb
o Frisch believes the bomb should have been used on Germany,
not Japan
o Frisch believes that the bomb was not ready for deployment and
if it had failed, war in Japan would have continued indefinitely
3. How does the historical context of when Frisch published this
article impact his thesis statement?
o Frisch states that he tried to avoid distortions of what was known
about the atomic bomb when it was used in 1945 as to not take
his analysis out of proper perspective or historical context
o Frisch states that his views of the atomic bomb are substantiated
by his beliefs that were influenced by his studies in college
almost 20 years after World War II ended
o Frisch states that writing about the historical significance of the
atomic bomb is best explained by retrospectively acknowledging
the mistakes that scientists who worked on the Manhattan
Project made
o Frisch states that the Allies had absolutely no other choice but to
deploy the atomic bomb; therefore, there were no long-term
effects almost two decades after World War II ended
4. What argument is Malloy making? This is the thesis statement.
