Description
Create a map of Amelia Earhart’s major flights and records, including
her last flight. Include a graphic of the various planes she flew when
accomplishing record flights. This can be in the form of a Microsoft
Powerpoint or an Infographic. An Infographic example that my professor
created is attached, however he created the infographic on a seperate
topic. It can still provide a good example of how much information you
should have.Use scholarly sources and create the map yourself
using something like Google Earth or whatever you are comfortable with.

Operation
Downfall
The Proposed
Invasion of Japan
(Nov 1945 – Mar 1946)
“The sooner the Americans come, the better… One hundred million die proudly.”
-Japanese Propaganda, Summer 1945
Operation Olympic
(Kyushu)
1 Dec 1945
Operation Coronet
(KAnto Plain/ToykO)
1 Mar 1946
Est. 1.7 million US Troops vs.
1 million Japanese troops
and 4-7 million civilians
The decision to use atomic bombs against Japan was based on the cold
mathematical calculations of previous battles against Japan and its
potential strength. Of all the World War II powers, Japan was the only
nation to increase its manpower mobilization from 1943-1945 with an
estimated 7.7 million men under arms and potentially another 4 million
civilians available for home defense by the Summer of 1945. Much of
Japan’s strength however remained isolated on mainland Asia and
would leave about one million Japanese military personnel to face
approximately 800,000 US troops.
The American military casualty estimates for Operation Downfall were based upon the “Saipan ratio” of 1
American casualty for every 7 Japanese casualties, but as the Allies closed in on the Japanese home islands that
ratio had fallen to almost 1:2. Thus, projected casualties varied from 100,000-500,000+ US combat deaths and
estimated between 5 to 9 million Japanese deaths. These sobering statistics factored into the American decision
to employ their newly developed atomic weapons in a desperate effort to compel a Japanese surrender.
