Im in H.S and i have to come up with a debate topic dealing with WW2. Can you give me some topics?
anything in the ww2 period such as Pearl Harbor, etc.
And im also a Sophmore so please no really hard topics. but something that could hold a good debate.
Was the United States justified in sending countless Japanese Americans to internment camps because they were seen as a threat to American security in light of Pearl Harbor?
You could also discuss Stalin’s leadership of Russia during the war, but that debate would probably be heavily one-sided without some extensive research.
Was the United States justified to use atomic weapons against Japan? Some would argue that it saved thousands of American lives that would have been lost in an invasion. But since most of the Japanese dead were civilians, does that make it right.
