In ending World War II, it was the U.S. that began a race to construct nuclear weaponry. The U.S. then dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in hopes to end the war. The war ended and Japan surrendered. Allies helped also in ending the war. They accepted Germany’s surrender as well.
All in all there is a big concern for our kahiau project topic. To Hawaiians our water is the most important resource of all because it sustains life. In World War II the Japanese bombed Puʻuloa as well as many other places around the island of Oʻahu. During that time there was a fear that they would target our watersheds, with that happening it would have poisoned all of our drinking water leaving it too toxic for consumption. Why were we targeted in the first place? Well that was because we are illegally an American territory where a mass amount of U.S military testing occurs and continues to occur. America will go out of their way to do anything possible to sustain power. They will use and manipulate indigenous people, strip them of their identity, and take away all their possessions. I am of an indigenous peoples. They gave my people disease, then they brainwashed us with their education, and then they took our land. In which brought Hawaiʻi in the middle of a world war only to be targeted and attacked with a nuclear bomb.
