Hiroshima Bombing Shouldn T Have Been Avoided

The Bombs were not as bad as people think it was. President Harry S. Truman had already warned that any attempt to invade japan would cause unusual acts that would bring the war to a brief end. Roughly about 90,000-146,000 people were killed in Hiroshima & 39,000-80,000 in Nagasaki,which most of the death occurred on the very first day of the bombings. The Army Officer made it seem like that was the only choice was the bomb but it really wasn’t.

The United States should not have dropped the atomic bomb because it was inhumane. By using that powerful bomb on japan lots of people died and lots of people lost their children, families, and it also ruined everything on their land so they can’t have access to anything. According to document ‘E,’ the evidence shows that it was hard for Japanese because they lost lots of people, 64,000 people total died from Nagasaki and 135,000 total died from Hiroshima which was terrifying. This evidence helps explain that the U.S. should not have dropped the atomic bomb because it took lives of civilians and innocent people.

Living as a civilian in Hiroshima on the dark day of August 6 1945 would be the most frightening thing to imagine. First an amazing brilliant flash drawing attention as if a new sun is birthed with a core bursting heat in every direction. The bomb erupted into a fireball fifteen meters in diameter within a tenth of a millisecond emitting temperatures of nearly three hundred thousand degrees Centigrade (Laurduy). Doom is a certainty and a tragic event subdued by the effects of war. It is easy to say we should have dropped the bomb as outsiders. Taking the facts and coming to the most logical conclusion, yet how many would say the bomb was necessary that were near the bomb and experienced the destruction and decay the bomb brought to the land? Not very many.

The dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945 by the Americans is a very controversial issue with no definite answer. Both sides of the issue have very justifiable arguments. Reasons for dropping the bomb include the fact that Truman’s options were limited at this point in the war, that the bomb did have the desired outcome of Japans surrender and that the majority of reasons America had for dropping the bomb are justifiable. On the other hand, the atomic bomb was complete new technology and there is no way that Japan could have possibly been ready for it and for that reason the dropping of the atomic bomb is very

1. The bombings killed 129,000-246,000 people in total over two to four months. The Japanese army managed to kill over 300,000 people in a single city over a span of just over a month. People really shouldn't be calling the bombings truculent when Japan's allies, the nazis, started the Holocaust and committed genocide .2. The US even gave Japan a chance to surrender before the bombs were dropped by issuing the Potsdam declaration which stated that if they didn’t surrender, Japan would face “prompt and utter destruction”. Japan did not surrender so they had to face the consequence. The US could have just dropped the bombs without any warning, but they decided to give Japan a chance to surrender first. This shows that the US were not inhumane in the bombings of Hiroshima and

It should have never happened. The United States threatened Japan with the dropping of a mass destructive bomb if they didn’t surrender; Japan would obviously never do this willingly because of their beliefs of never surrendering. In Hiroshima roughly 150 000 people were killed and injured because of the bomb, and in Nagasaki roughly 70 000 people were killed as a result of the bomb. There are most probably more deaths that we don’t know about because many people were crushed in houses and buildings, buried under ground and some of the bodies completely vanished due to incineration. After the blast thousands of people died because of radiation poisoning which was unleashed by the bomb.

To Drop or To Not Drop Is it right and just to kill an innocent person? Is it right and just to bomb a crowded city of civilians? Towards the end of World War 2, President Truman bombed Hiroshima, Japan. Truman killed innocent men, women, and children without a proper warning. Many Americans wondered if dropping the bomb was the right way to end the war between the U.S. and Japan.

In the midst of World War II, August 1945, the United States unleashed the first ever atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The usage of the atomic bomb was effective, but at the same time devastating and unnecessary. The United States should not have dropped the atomic bomb because it maimed countless of Japanese civilians, caused radiation poisoning whose effects impacted future generations, left both cities in ruins, left citizens homeless, and it was absolutely unmoral for the United States to have created such havoc and chaos in these two cities. Being there on the day Hiroshima was struck by the atomic bomb, junior high student,

Apart from my view that the bombings were unnecessary, I would also like to highlight the aftermath of both bombings, which is the massive collateral damage recorded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a devastating destruction that can never be erased in Japan’s

Was the Use of Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Justified? Evan Luo Mrs Kelsey CHC 2D Thur. May. 17, 2018 On August 6, 1945 at 8:16 A.M, an American B-26 bomber dropped the world's first uranium bomb over the city of Hiroshima.

To the east and to the west everything was flattened…How small Hiroshima was with its houses gone.” What Doctor Hachiya writes is very heartbreaking. In addition, photos can also share the same effect. The photos that were taken by Yosuke Yamahata reveal the chilling aftermath of the atomic bomb. One of the photos that struck me the most was the second photo. The second photo shows a group of people lying on a mat and in the distance, there is debris from their homes. The people look very scared, hopeless and lost. Their homes were blown to smithereens and they were left with nothing. The atomic bomb was an evil that struck out of nowhere. The United States chose to send Japan a clear message to stop fighting and despite all the innocent lives that were lost, it was the right decision to do. Additionally, if I were President of the United States during the late 1940s, I would also have made the decision to drop the atomic bomb on both Hiroshima and

I think it was wrong for the United States to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I think this because they took innocent lives. About 350,000 people died that day because of the fires and strong radiation. In the article, The Hiroshima bombing: What you need to know about the nuclear attack, it said, “About 350,000 residents and military members were living in Hiroshima at the time of the bombing. Thousands were killed instantly. By December 1945, about 140,000 people in Hiroshima are believed to have died from intense radiation and other immediate results of the blast, such as fires. More than 6,000 of the dead were junior high school students. They had been mobilized that Monday morning by Japan’s government to clear

I am for the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The main reason I am for the use of the atomic bombs is because the use of the atomic bombs saved American lives. Japanese people were willing to die for their God; they saw suicide at the best way out. The Japanese culture did not think highly of people who surrendered. Surrender was looked at as being the weak thing to do. Studies have been done showing what the causality would have been for Americans if had not dropped the bomb and had continued the war. The number of casualties ranges from thirty one thousand to one point seven million American lives. The Japanese’s and military tactics that would result in a higher number of American lives lost. The Japanese would

The atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan can be viewed as a good or bad thing. Some people think that Japan deserved it considering that they attacked Pearl Harbor, but some think that two wrongs do not make a right. The bombings on Japan had very long-lasting effects on the country and the people. The bombings were a cruel thing to do that killed so many and a large amount of people suffered from the after effects of the bombs for days or for years. Some people believe it was more of a political statement behind the bombings and others think it was to protect the American people and our Military. The bombs were dropped towards the end of World War II so why do such a thing when the war was ending? Why start another fight?

The decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the hardest decision for President Truman to make. He had the power right there in his hands to end the war but he would have to unleash the most powerful weapon known to man, at this time. Everyone was very tired of fighting but the Japanese would not give up so Truman decided to drop it. Even though we told Japan that if they did not surrender we would completely demolish some of their cities, they did not listen and they did not surrender. Maybe they did not think about what kind of weapons we would use because
