The Day Of The Atomic Bomb

The dropping of the atomic bomb was the first of many nuclear projects. The first project was called the Manhattan project. Three bombs were created, one was a test, and the two others were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, cities in Japan. These bombs created mass destruction for the two cities; buildings were obliterated, fires erupted, and radiation spread for miles. After foreign countries saw what the United States was capable of, countries all around the world started to develop their own nuclear weapons, creating a surplus of weapons of mass destruction. “Today, eight countries in the world have nuclear arsenals (weapon supplies). The United States and Russia (formerly part of the Soviet Union) have most of the world’s nuclear weapons. Other countries with nuclear arms include China, France, India, Israel, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom” (Kroenig). Following World War Two, the Soviet Union and the United States were leaders of nuclear weapons. This period was called the Cold War. Forty-five years of potential nuclear destruction loomed over the Soviets and Americans. It wasn’t until after the Cold War that diplomats created the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty. The Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty, or NPT for short, recognizes the United States, Russia, China, France, and the United Kingdom as nuclear weapon states. Nearly every country in the world is a member of the treaty, even if they do not possess nuclear weapons, by law they state that they are a nonnuclear

The dropping of the atomic bombs in Japan was a very helpful source for the United States during the WWII. President Truman, took the responsibility of dropping and creation of the atomic bomb. For the reason that The United States was seeking revenge on Japan for the attack at Pearl Harbor. The atomic bomb caused a high number of innocent Japanese deaths and also awful sickness. 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 usage of the atomic bomb, yet the usage of the atomic bomb caused a lot of negative effects for the people of Japan.

When the citizens of the United States went to bed on September 10th, 2001 they had no idea that the events the next day would change their lives in one way or another for the rest of their lives. September 11th began just like any other day but by the end of the day, almost 3,000 people died in four separate deliberate terrorist attacks against the United States. The events on September 11th had shocked the world, caused billions of dollars in damages and made Americans question their sense of security. The attacks on September 11th, conducted by the Islamic extremist group, al-Qaeda, was an important event in United States history because it was the deadliest and biggest terrorist attack on American soil and caused extensive death and destruction

Today is September 11th, 2014. The thirteenth anniversary for one of the most horrific events that have ever happened in United States history. An event that took thousands of lives, and affected the entire United States in some kind of way. Thirteen years ago, not only the United States changed, but the World changed. The global repercussions of 9/11 are still being felt today. The attacks of the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. can be described as horrific, shocking, confusing and depressing. Tens of thousands of people witnessed it in person, and millions witnessed it through TV, read it in their newspapers, all who were seeking the reasoning behind this. So what happened? At 8:52 AM, a plane that

On August 6, 1945 uranium gun-type atomic bomb (Little Boy) was dropped on Hiroshima, within the first day of the bombings the effects killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima. The effects of the atomic bomb left many dead, homeless, and sacred. Even four months later people would die from radiation poisoning and discovering they had cancer now. Skin would be peeling off like bark on trees, this was a true horrifying sight. The United States were at war with japan but, does that justify what they did? Some would say what they did was inhuman and just plan wrong. They say there were other alternatives that the United Sates could have done. I believe there could have been a better way of ending the war with japan but I understand why the United States did what they did. The Japanese came out of nowhere and attacked the United States did they think that the US would just roll over and die? The should of known not to surprise attack one of the strongest nations. The needed to be put back in place and show the rest of the world that the US was one not to be reckon with.

“On the morning of August 6, 1945, the American B-29 Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later another B-29, Bock’s Car, released one over Nagasaki. Both caused enormous casualties and physical destruction.” (Maddox 1). These disastrous events have weighted upon the American conscience ever since that day in history. Even though there are some people that disagree with the dropping of the atomic bomb, President Truman’s decision was very critical because he prevented the loss of many American lives, Japanese soldiers fought with no notion of ever surrendering, and it brought an end to a bloody war.

September 11th, 2001 started out as a normal day for countless civilians. But it didn’t stay this way for long. At 8:45 am, Flight 767 crashed into the World Trade Center, which left a large, burning hole in the side of the tower and killed many on impact and multiple more

Historians, Scientist, and military advisors all have diverse opinions on the dropping of the atomic bomb. Varying from, it should be dropped to bring an end to the war with Japan, to it is inhumane to use such a power weapon on the Japanese military. Having so many diverse opinions on the newest found weapon, made the decision difficult for President Truman. There is no found proof that the war would have ended shortly after if it hadn’t been dropped. It was an uncertain factor on what would happen if the bomb wasn’t dropped, as well as what would happen if it was dropped.

September, 11th, 2001, a day which shook the lives of Americans in a way that was unimaginable. A terrorist attack in the middle of the day in a metropolis city was a feeling that many people in America had never experienced. The attack was carried out by terrorists who hijacked 4 planes, then flew 2 planes into the World Trade Centre, another hit the Pentagon and the last plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The feeling of loss, accompanied with sadness as well as anger was enough to trigger all kinds of thoughts into people’s hearts. The death toll of 2,996 people along with the deadliest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbour, devastated the United States forever. Immediately after the attacks, Americans were struggling to live

In my personal opinion I feel that violence and death resulting of innocent people is never justified. On the subject of the Atomic bomb the force which was used may have been very destructive but I suppose that the message the U.S was sending to Japan was clear and heard. American politicians believed that it was a necessary use of force. President Truman gave the Japanese a warning before hand saying that if they did not surrender more destruction would come their way.

World War 2, also known as the Second World War, was a war fought from 1939 to 1945 in Europe and, during much of the 1930s and 1940s,world war 2 was the largest armed conflict in history. This war introduced new powerful weapons such as an atomic bomb which can lead to devastating affects,which led to Hiroshima and Nagasaki to be bombed. The first ever atomic bomb was used on the city of Hiroshima, Japan On August 6, 1945.When the atomic bomb exploded it was equivalent to 12,500 tons of TNT.The bomb killed many people, any one near the explosion were disintegrated and anyone who looked at the explosion were blinded the explosion is so powerful that it can be felt from miles away, in a "heat blast" which burnt some people. When the atomic

September 11th will be remembered as the most painful and unbelievable days that ever happened in the United States. Many people in the U.S was shocked and confused of what just happened. The day that changed the way people viewed life. This heartbreaking events surely affect very Americans, and certainly affect lots of people around the world. Many Americans had to live under a series of deadly terrorist acts. There were many victims were in airplanes and in offices. Thousands of lives were all of a sudden ended by upsetting acts of terror. The attacks had brought a seriously impact on the U.S.

Tuesday, September 11th was a day that Americans would never forget. It began at 5:45 in the morning Hijackers Mohammed Atta and Abdulaziz al-Omari pass through security at Portland International Jetport in Maine. Over the next hour and a half over seventeen more terrorists clear security at Boston Logan, Newark International and Washington Dullas airports. At 7:59 Flight 11 out of Boston departs and within minutes it is taken over by five terrorists on board and rerouted towards Manhattan. Fifteen minutes later flight 175 departs and is also taken over by five terrorists and rerouted to Manhattan. At precisely 8:46 A.M. the hijackers crashed flight 11 into floor 93 of the World Trade Center’s north tower and just seventeen minutes later at 9:03 A.M. Flight 175 crashes into the World Trade Center’s south tower. Within a twenty-minute span thousands of people were dead and the number grew as safety personnel continued to help evacuate people from not only the building but the city as well. These attacks on the US came directly due to our involvement in the Middle East and our foreign policy revolving around helping Israel. Also the fact that we had soldiers occupying Iraq and Saudi Arabia, attempting to spread democracy did not please Al-Quadea either. The attacks on The World Trade Centers and the United States as a whole affected the nation politically, socially and economically, changing not only the course of the nation but also how safe citizens felt about their national

The events America suffered on September 11, 2001, will go as the most horrible and unbelievable day in history. I remember sitting on the floor of my living room playing with my Barbie dolls when my dad ran through the house and turned the television to the news channel, CNN. I remember seeing ongoing coverage of two buildings, the Twin Towers, on fire with people jumping out of the building while others were running around everywhere. It was complete chaos, and New York officials were trying to get everyone to remain calm. The victims of this

September 11th, 2001, a day that will live in the hearts of all Americans. On this tragic day approximately three thousand people, men and women lost their lives in a horrendous attack on this nation by Islamic extremists. It was on this fateful day at the ripe age of six, that a spark lit inside me; a spark that would change my life. I was drawn to the television, wanting to know every detail of these attacks; realizing that the world was not what I had known it. I knew after the attacks occurred, that one day I would be President of the United States; this was my goal, for a better tomorrow.
