Nuclear Bomb Effect

The atomic bomb is considered one of the most lethal forces ever used to inflict harm upon a nation or a group of people. The atomic bomb was used because the Japanese military command had denied the request for unconditional surrender, because of this the American and British forces had decided to drop an atomic bomb on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The atomic bomb relates to science and technology because it was one of the most leading edge pieces of technology available at the time.

The establishment of the “Manhattan Project” lead to the creation of the first atomic bomb in the world. However, President Truman, took the roll of authority of the production and the usage of the atomic bomb. For the reason that The United States was seeking reprisal on Japan for the ambush of Pearl Harbor. The atomic bombs lead to an immense sum of innocent Japanese deaths and horrible diseases. The atomic bombs left a big impact in the Japanese empire; also effected the Japanese at the time of the atomic bomb and the generation following. There were several manners that led to the use of the atomic bomb, yet the usage of the atomic bomb caused a lot of negative effects for the people of Japan.

The bomb will bring tremendous ecological changes that may affect not only Japan but other parts of the world. The exact damages are to known but it is certain that they will not be positive.

The Nuclear Bomb was an event that would change the world forever. Merl Resler, a 91 year old Pearl Harbor Survivor said, the world is a safer place because of the Nuclear bomb. He believed that the Bomb was the only answer to ending WWII. (Merl Resler- An American Hero). The nuclear bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki created the major turning point of the 20th century. The atomic bomb ended up affecting political and military policies for all of the nations by introducing a new weapon that could wipe out countries in the blink of an eye. This mass weapon of destruction set a completely new set of policies and organizations that would deal with a new issue nations would have to face when dealing with a nuclear weapon.

"an enthralling, gripping account of bloody battles, huge decisions, and historic personalities that culminated in decision to drop the atomic bomb and brought the war in the pacific to its climactic end. A masterful, meticulously researched work that captures the barbarity of the war waged by those who swore allegiance to the japanese emperor-and by those who crushed the military might of the rising sun."

If we had not dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, the outcome of the war would have been the same. The bomb’s entire purpose was to prove that we had the ultimate world power, however it had some effects. The dropping of the bombs together had a combined total around 120,000 instant deaths and the victims were vaporized. More weather occurred after due to the affects of radiation poisoning, with can lead to cancer and mutations of the body if not treated. Between the two droppings of the Atomic Bombs, Russia ended the naval pursuit in order to end the was. Most likely, and in my opinion, this is what ultimately caused Japan to surrender. Based off the primary source I have found within my family records, “…No doubt this secret will remain in

The biggest and most obvious unifying theme was the unusual and unnatural power of the bomb. When the bomb first exploded it caused widespread damage to buildings thousands of feet away. It also caused many flammable objects to ignite which caused immense fires. The bomb also caused many people to become sick and lose their hair weeks and even years after the atomic bomb went off.

A decision is as simple as it is complex, especially one as influential and impactful as the decision to drop a nuclear bomb on Japan. The consequences and the never ending debates on the matter ripple through to this day, including the many alternatives or whether it was a morally acceptable choice. As this is a pretty controversial topic, I feel the need to put an emphasis on the fact that the decision to bomb Japan was made at a time of war. We are here, today, at peaceful times, looking upon a heavy decision that was made at a much more chaotic time. With that said, that decision was not made lightly.

The United States dropped the very first atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. This first bomb killed over 80,000 – 100,000 people and destroyed over five square miles of Hiroshima. However, that wasn’t all that the United States had in store for Japan; just three days later they dropped another atomic bomb in the city of Nagasaki and it killed 40,000 people. However, there were some people that survived the explosion but they would eventually die from their injuries and from radiation exposure. A Japanese Doctor named Michihiko Hachiya survived the Hiroshima bombing. He also kept a journal that documented his experiences after the bombing. In his journal Hachiya writes that “the right side of [his] body was bleeding…no one spoke…Hiroshima was no longer a city but a burned-down over

My three main topics are what dangerous things are made out of the Atomic Bomb and my second interesting topic is the U.S. Americans dropped the Atomic Bomb on the Nagasaki. And my third topic would be what were the long term effects that the people suffered for the the explosive Atomic Bomb.

On August 6, 1945, there was atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Three days later, another bomb on Nagasaki. It was during World War II , and Japan attacked Pearl Harbor before this bombing. The effect of this bomb was incredible . The explosion of bombs wiped out 90% of the cities and killed over 120,000 people. Also this bomb impacted on American history. The World War II was end and Allied forces occupied Japan. For long term impact, after bombing there was backlash for using atomic bombs and also antinuclear protests.

Approximately 226,000 people died in the use of both atomic bombs and half of those deaths occurred on the first day that the bomb was used. The devastating effect of the bomb caused two sides on the decision to use this powerful weapon. Those who were supporters, and those who were opposers. Both sides have had their reasons for the stances they use. The people involved in the event and the historians that write about such event shape the decision about using the atomic bomb.

have the power and ability to operate the bombs. Is progress to blame for the invention of the atom bomb? Or is it humans and our drive to create? If, or when, the atom bomb goes off, it will not because progress demanded it, but because a human, or group of humans, with the required cultural clout, made the decision to set it off. For most readers, the idea of blowing up the world, and everyone in it, is not going to be a positive image. For those who grew up during the atom bomb scares, the image will have even more of an impact, driving fear into their hearts and minds. It is possible that imagery is strong enough to strike-out the human component from the reader’s minds. Had I been a casual reader, it is possible that I, too, would have

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?

As History Today reports, “the first hydrogen bomb dropped from the air exploded with a force estimated as equal to a minimum of fifteen million tons of TNT and created a fireball at least four miles wide and brighter than 500 suns” (Web). The hydrogen bomb was also known as the ‘super’ bomb. Scientists were excited at the prospect of this new scientific discovery, even before the atomic bomb was developed” (Cavendish). Even though perceptions about the atomic bomb have varied since its creation, the impact that the hydrogen bomb has had on America remains a controversial topic between citizens, military and victims.
