Talking About a Past Era

Speech Series

Date: November 7, 2015

I think it would have been terrible to live during World War II. Although families were important, if someone in their family would get "the red paper" (someone got drafted), he had to go to war. Even though they had never had the training for war, they were not allowed to say "No".

In those days, the emperor had absolute power, and what the emperor says used to be absolute. They only had to obey the words. They had believed that Japan was strong, even though it was not.

Nobody could end the war until the United States dropped atomic bombs in Hiroshima and in Nagasaki. From what I've heard, atomic bombs were to stop the war.

If I'd lived back then, my dad might have gone to war and he might have never returned. And as a result, it might have been a really hard time for a while in order to live.

There is nothing to get from war. It's been 70 years since then. I hope not to start a war again.
