In General Sherman’s March to the Sea, he utterly demolished Atlanta and other industrial cities in the South. Years later, in World War II, the United States demolished the German city of Dresden with its bombing and destroyed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the atomic bomb. Are there cases when destroying cities and civilians is justifiable? Why or why not? Why do you think the military took these actions, despite knowing the severe outcome?
can anyone help me with a question from U.S. history? please?
