Biikini Atoll Research Paper

Many people know what it feels like for one action or event to change the whole course of a day, a year, or maybe your whole life. The book The Bomb, by Theodore Taylor, is set on a Pacific Island called Bikini Atoll. During World War II, the Americans took over the atoll from the Japanese, who were in control at the time. The main character, Sorry Rinamu, is grateful for being freed by the Americans. However, after the war, the Americans wanted to test another Atomic Bomb, and they chose to test it for research at Bikini Atoll. The conflict that drives the plot is that Sorry tries to stop the Americans from testing the bomb on his home (person vs society). The two primary ways it generates the plot are when most islanders agree to have their atoll taken away by the Americans and when Sorry gets the radical idea to stop the test from happening from his uncle, Abram Rinamu.

The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom led to Hawaii being annexed to the United States. The overthrow involved many people and groups who supported Hawaii being annexed, such as Lorrin Thurston and The Committee of Safety. However, there were also many people who were against it including, Robert Wilcox, James Blount, and Aloha Aina. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom happened on January 17, 1893, where the provisional government took over and declared martial law in Hawaii. The Hawaiian Kingdom was officially annexed by the United States on August 12, 1898. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was unjustified because King Kalakaua was forced to sign the Bayonet constitution of 1887 which took all the power away from him and the monarchy.

The first person to unite the island was Kamehameha. He was born as Paiea, the lonely one. His uncle, Kalani’opu’u was the ruler of Hawai’i before Kamehameha conquered the islands. He/Kamehameha wasn’t supposed to become the king after all. Until he achieved so many mana from all the battles he won and from the people who respected him, he was able to become the king, Kamehameha the Great.

Twenty years passed after King Elian ruler of the island of Tikiti had been brutally murdered. The years after were horrible for the men and women of Tikiti . Their hardships had started since the birth of Drodyies (king Elian and Athena’s son) and the death of their beloved king. Taking the opportunity to enslave the men and women of Tikiti was the powerful king David. King David and many others believed that Drodyies was killed by the storm which had taken him as King David himself was about to kill him; that is until now

It is tragedy that a language full of rich history and culture could be left with less than one hundred native speakers worldwide. The language of Haida from the Haida tribe in southeast Alaska has been through the Russian and American takeover of Alaska, as well as education and religion changes. Today the language is critically endangered and the community is heartbroken about the decline of language usage. The future of Haida holds revival programs in hope of the language returning.

Many people go to Hawaii for a nice relaxing vacation, not knowing they’re right next to one of the five most active volcanos in the world,Kilauea. Kilauea had killed over 400 people in a single eruption. Kilauea is formed on a hotspot,or a place of significant activity or danger,this is one of the reasons Kilauea is so active. Kilauea has had many small eruptions, but the last large eruption lasted 30 years and was from 1983 to 2013. Kilauea may seem like any other regular volcano but it is much more dangerous.

How a small atoll in the middle of the Pacific became the site of the most significant naval battle in American history should not be a complete surprise. The Midway Atoll was strategically placed in the Pacific Ocean for both sides knew of its importance. Approximately 1300 miles northwest of Pearl Harbor and close to halfway between Japan and the West Coast of the U.S., Midway was already the site of a naval base. Fittingly, it would be the focal point of a calculated Japanese plan.

The land from the bikini atoll was destroyed. Not just bikini atoll go hit by the blast of the bomb there were other islands near it that go hit by it. And those islands including the Bikini atoll was Bikini, Eneu, Nam and Endrik. And the blast did not destroy the islands but some of them have radiations on it. Luckily no one was on the Bikini Atoll

Cook and his crew returned to Hawaii in Kealakekua Bay. Belief in the explorers as gods was restored when they anchored their ships in this specific bay. Kealakekua Bay was regarded as the sacred bay of Lono and at the time of their arrival, they were having a festival dedicated to Lono. They took the explorers' arrival in the sacred as a sign from the gods. The Hawaiians welcomed Cook with a feast. The chief of the tribe presented him with a small pig, two coconuts, and piece of red cloth to wrap himself in as an offering. Similar treatment continued for about a month. The English abused the charity shown by the Polynesians, taking advantage of their goods, ideas, and crops. They praised the explorers and treated them as royalty.

The US should’ve bomb bikini atoll if it wasn't bombed millions of innocent unnecessary people would’ve died. When we bombed Bikini atoll only a few people died. When the US saw

How could one country destroy the land and lifestyle of another in the name of peace? In August 1945, United States dropped two nuclear weapons in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 120,000 people immediately get killed this also led to the end of World War II. During 1946 and 1958 at seven test sites in Bikini Atoll on the reef itself, on the sea, in the air and underwater, United States conducted a series of 23 nuclear devices, it was named the “Operation Crossroads”. The United States should not have conducted nuclear bomb tests at Bikini Atoll which had caused the relocation of its inhabitants, the radiation poisoning of the land and the effects of radiation on the surrounding ocean.

Now, there has been 23 nuclear tests conducted near Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Proving Grounds during World War II and for some time after the war. The real issue here is that radiation from those tests is lingering far longer than predicted. This is a serious health risk to the residents on the island. As they have to pick whether the fruit from the island is safe to eat or not.

Fortunately, worldwide nuclear winter was only a possibility, never a reality. But for some people, the reprocussions of the use of nuclear weapons are very real. The United States tested 67 nuclear weapons in Bikini Atoll from 1946-1958. Bikini Atoll, which belonged to a conglomerate of 23 islands—the Marshall Islands—was formerly inhabited by nearly 5000 bikinians before they were voluntarily evacuated in order to begin nuclear testing. Many of the Bikinians resided on nearby Rongelap atoll, until fallout from the Castle Bravo Hydrogen Bomb test in 1954 shrouded the atoll in a cloud of radioactive fallout, forcing them to once again relocate to another island. The US Government declared Bikini atoll habitable in 1970, and
