On August 6, 1945, the United States did something no one can or ever will forget. It was the day that Americans were out to get the revenge that they had been wanting for awhile, ever since the December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor in the year of 1941. President Roosevelt had just died in April of 1945, which resulted in Harry Truman as the current president when we took the move to bomb the two cities. To get the revenge that the United States had been wanting on Japan for 4 years, we decided to drop atomic bombs at daybreak. It was a move that would have a lasting impression. World War II was still going on and didn’t seem to have an end in sight. An American B-29 bomber officially dropped the world’s first electronically deployed atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima at exactly 8:16a.m. (Japanese time.) The citizens of Hiroshima were just starting to get up and going on a beautiful Sunday morning. It completely destroyed at least 90% of the city and immediately killed almost 80,000 people. If the citizens of Hiroshima did not die right after the attack, they would later pass away later from the radiation from the blast. The bomb that was dropped became known as ‘Little Boy.’ This name was given to the bomb because the military was using the name of ‘little boy’ as a code name for dropping the bomb. After the first bombing of Hiroshima, the United States decided that we weren't gonna stop by just bombing one of their main cities. On August 9, 1945, we sent out
On August 6, 1945, the United states have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan city of Hiroshima and three days after The United States have dropped the second bomb on Japan city of Nagasaki to end World War II. The United States should not have dropped the atomic bombs on Japan to end World War II because it was inhumane, unnecessary, and brutal.
On the 8th of December 1941, the United States congress declared war on the empire of japan in response to that country’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor the prior day. It was formulated an hour after the infamy speech of US President Roosevelt. Following the declaration, Japan’s allies, Germany and Italy, declared war on the United States, bringing the United States fully into World War II. When the Allied forces finally got to the point where an invasion on the Japanese mainland was inevitable, it was decided to use the Atomic weapons due to the fact that Japanese leaders had convinced their people to fight the death against “the foreign invaders”. Faced with the prospect of an invasion that could easily cost millions of lives on both sides, the US decided to drop the big ones and hopefully end the war with relatively few lives lost. They chose to target Hiroshima and Nagasaki because of their strategic importance to the empire. Both were military ports used to supply the armed forces of Japan and were filled with military supplies. So the bombs were dropped to end the war, not in revenge of Pearl
Bombing two major cities may seem wrong but it was necessary in order to come out as a successful nation. During World War 2 on August 6th and 9th of 1945 the United States was the first country to use an atomic device against an enemy. This enemy was the country of Japan. After the Japanese killed thousands of U.S soldiers with their ruthless and unexpected attack on Pearl Harbour the United States released two atomic bombs on their two major cities. These cities were known as Nagasaki and Hiroshima. After the bombs were dropped the war was put to an end. The use of the atomic bombs is a widely debated topic on whether their use was necessary or not. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not only necessary to end the war but it was also necessary because many American lives were lost.
At the end of World War II, Winston Churchill said, “Never in the field of human
Good evening ladies and gentlemen tonight we are here to debate the topic that the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States of America was ethically justified in the course of history.
After the battle of Okinawa, we had the invasion of Hiroshima. President Truman's made the decision the drop the atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, on August 6, to set a point to Japan. This attack killed 70,000 instantly and 100,000 more died in the following years from burns and sickness from the bomb. The next bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki, August 9th. This bomb killing 80,000 immediately and injuring many more. This is the only use of nuclear weapon in warfare history. In all over 129,000 people were killed, in these two bombings alone.
“Truman stated that his decision to drop the bomb was purely military. Truman believed that the bombs saved Japanese lives as well. Prolonging the war was not an option for the President,” (ushistory.org 1). President Truman and the United States government made a fair decision by dropping the atomic bomb on the Japanese citizens in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during 1945. The bomb allowed the United States to appear more powerful and led to them influencing the rest of the world. The dropping of the atomic bomb was also a just response to the previous atrocities committed by Japan to other countries including the United States. In the long run, the bomb saved more lives that would have been lost in the war, since the bombs caused the
On August 6th, 1945 the United States military dropped the first atomic bomb as an act of war on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. 3 days later, the second and last to date, atomic bomb was dropped onto Nagasaki, Japan. Under the direction of President Harry Truman, the atomic bombs were dropped in response to the disregarded ultimatum
On December 7th, 1941, Japan attacked the United States first at Pearl Harbor. August 6, 1945, the United States became the first country to use an atomic weapon. Truman made the decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima because there wasn’t much else to do in the situation.
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.
In the story “ The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, the setting is essential for the plot to be believable. For example, the setting has to be an isolated island. The setting must be an island in the middle of nowhere or else the general’s prey could get away. As Rainsford is running away from Zaroff’s chateau he is thinking “ He was in a picture with a frame of water, and his operations, clearly, must take place within that frame”(11). Rainsford is trapped on this island, with nowhere to go. In another setting, on a mainland for example, Rainsford could just keep on running until he hit civilization. The setting must be somewhere for prisoners to get trapped. Another reason is that the setting has to have a way of stranding General
In the present time children learn about science and art, side by side. They are given choice to enjoy both science and religion. But less than 6 centuries ago, over lapping of the two was a crime against the Pope himself and could be punished by death. The Quattrocento and the Cinquecento is famous for its art which includes unique style of paint and sculpting, but what made a significant remark was the use of the scientific techniques ideas. The Italian Renaissance transformed the manner of viewing the arts. Before, most people in Italy were bounded by religious thoughts and beliefs. Artists started to step away from the Dark ages and actually step back into the era of the Romans and Greek. Which is where new ideas such
World War II began September 1, 1939 and ended September 2, 1945. When this war began, many young boys and men were drafted into the war. Most of them left what they were doing and all they’ve known, to fight in the war. It was the war that advanced technology and created social changes. The United States was the first country to use the atomic bomb in warfare. On August 6, 1945, the first of two atomic bombs were dropped. The first bomb was named, “Little Boy,” and was dropped on the city of Hiroshima. The second bomb was named, “Fat Man,” (History.com Staff 2009) and was dropped on the city of Nagasaki three days later. The bombs resulted in thousands of casualties and radiation among the civilians. Dropping the atomic bomb was the right decision because the bomb would end the war, it was revenge for Pearl Harbor, and it saved the lives of more Americans.
Life in the high middle ages, between 1000 and 1300 A.D., had two kinds of communities, manorial villages and towns. The major difference in these two distinct types of communities was the freedom and rights of the people. In the manorial villages you had lords who owned large portions of land. The vassals who entered into a military obligation with the lords, in exchange for land and protection. Finally, serfs who were a class of people that worked their lord’s land as half slave and half freeman. Vassals were more of an employee and the serfs were little more than a slave because they were bound to the lord’s land. The serfs could not leave or do anything without the lord’s permission and most of the time they had to pay fees to be granted the permissions they requested. In contrast the townspeople elected their officials, had freedom to choose a careers, they move about where they liked, and could acquire training and schooling. Townspeople were in fact free and not absolutely controlled by a lord. As for the manorial villages, the lords had all the power and had absolute control over all the actions and work of the vassals and serfs.
In 1945, two atomic bombs were dropped over Japan on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which resulted in thousands of civilian deaths and a detrimental impact on the environment.
