Captain Corelli's Mandolin Research Paper

“In 1957, with the arms race in full swing, the Department of Defense had decided it was just a matter of time before an airplane transporting an atomic bomb would crash on American soil, unleashing a radioactive disaster the likes of which the world had never seem.” On August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, killing 20,000 soldiers and 70,000 – 126,000 civilians. On August 9, 1945, the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing 39,000 – 80,000. A total of 129,000 – 226,000 people were killed in combining both bomb droppings. Dropping both atomic bombs on Japan was necessary to end the war because the military needed to end the war, the Japanese were given fair warnings

In August 1945, America dropped two Atomic bombs on Japan in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two bombings killed at least 130,000 people and were the first and last use of nuclear weapons in warfare.

The first atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, one of the larger cities of the country of Japan. The announcement that an atomic bomb had been dropped on Japan came from Truman as a “scientific landmark and the age of atomic energy” . This power came as not only for the advancement of civilization, but also the ability for civilization to be

“We have to protect our Earth, so our children and grandchildren will never suffer like that,’ she said. And she looked ahead. ‘Maybe nuclear weapons won’t be abolished while I’m alive,’ she said. ‘But I will never give up.” (Hanley, NBC News). August 6, 1945 at 8:16 in the morning, the United States dropped the world's first atomic bomb on thousands of unsuspecting people in Hiroshima, Japan. Not only did this catastrophic event kill thousands of civilians, but it also resulted in other nations obtaining and learning how to create these deadly weapons, weapons that we still have today. In the book Hiroshima by John Hersey he gives readers a new look at that day, through the eyes of six victims who survived the horrific attack on Hiroshima, he shows how the entire city of Hiroshima suffered, and were left alone to fend for themselves.The book Hiroshima by John Hersey, sheds light on the immense dangers of nuclear warfare, and the government's responsibility for its people, affected by a war they aren’t fighting in.

The United States dropped their first atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945. The explosion was tragic, “90 percent of the city was wiped out and immediately killed 80,000 people; tens and thousand more would later die to radiation exposure” (Lemay and Paul). Innocent children and citizens would die.

On August 6th, 1945, the Japanese woke up to their hometowns and country filled with flames and radioactive material. This event changed warfare as we know it, and will forever have an effect on the Japanese and American culture. These two bombs, Little Boy and Fat Man, killed thousands of people and in total, took a huge toll on the world then and today.

From 1939 through 1941 millions were faced with the violence and devastation of World War II. Life on the Homefront in the United States and Great Britain was difficult and overwhelming.World War II was one of the most bloody battles in history, and most of whom were civilians.In this paper, we will explore what life is like for people during a terrifying war.

On 06 August 1945, the United States denoted a nuclear weapon over the Japanese city, Hiroshima due to the major military headquarters the housed. The event took place during the final stage of World War II, it is uncertain to the amount of people harmed in this event, to this day, with the long-lasting effects of the bombing survivors are still taking ill.

On August 6, 1945, the United States become the first ever and only nation to use atomic weapons during wartime when it drop an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Shortly after three days, another atomic bomb was drop on Nagasaki causing thousand of deaths in total. It was a horrific event in the history, even today's there still debates over whether President Truman decision was correct or not. Though dropping the atomic bomb ended World War II, many historians think  that it also started the Cold War.

“President Harry Truman gave permission to drop the atomic bomb on Japan August 5,1945.” as stated by biography.com. At 2:45 pm on August 6th the Enola Gay, named after Paul's mom, and its 12 man crew were lifting off North Field en route to Hiroshima. At 8:15 am on August 7, local time, the world's first atomic bomb used in war exploded. The blast killed 80,000 people and wounded nearly as many as it obliterated the entire city in seconds. The course of history and warfare was changed forever.

At about eight A.M on August sixth, 1945 the Japanese city Hiroshima was destroyed by the deployment of the first nuclear weapon, nicknamed “Little Boy.” Soon after, at about eleven A.M the following day, a second bomb was dropped, called “Fat Man” on Nagasaki. Together, these bombings caused massive destruction. The death total was well near 220, 000. Only portions of these deaths were from the days of the bombings, with an equal number occurring later in the year from exposure to radiation. More have died since from leukemia.

On July 16, 1945, the course of the entire world was changed. On this day in 1945, the first ever nuclear bomb was detonated in the desert near Los Alamos, New Mexico. It all started before WWII, when American scientists became worried about the attempts of German scientists to get uranium. They were trying to learn the secrets of splitting a uranium atom. As soon as the American scientists learned this, they notified George Formi and Albert Einstein. They wrote a letter to the president. At the time, the president dismissed it as not important. Then, later, the president authorized research on America’s own

In August of 1945, both of the only two nuclear bombs ever used in warfare were dropped on the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. These two bombs shaped much of the world today.

On August 6, 1945, during World War II an American B-29 bomber dropped the world’s first deployed atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, a second B-29 dropped another A-bomb on Nagasaki, killing an estimated 40,000 people. Japan’s Emperor

On the 6th November 1945, a United States bomber flies over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The only cargo aboard that B-29 bomber was an atomic bomb waiting on its target. At 8.15am the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, taking 140,000 lives with it. Most of the 140,000 died instantly, horrifyingly the rest of the innocent civilians that were not in direct contact with the bomb died painful deaths in the four months following. They died from radiation sickness and different types of cancers.
