hiroshima and nagasaki -why did the u.s. use the atomic bomb?

Was the atomic bomb in Japan necessary? Was it an act of justice to drop the bomb in Japan and killed over two thousand millions of Japanese citizens? The American soldiers knew that Japan was already defenseless; so why did they proceed with the plan to drop the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The reason was obvious; they felt threatened when Japan rejected the Americans’ request to surrender. And, of course, Japan would have surrendered anyways if the atomic bombs had not been dropped

7, 1941 Japan launched a surprise attack on a U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii with the possibility of forcing the U.S. to join World War II. About 2,400 Americans were dead, 21 ships had been sunk, and 188 aircrafts were destroyed. On August 6 and 9 of 1945, the U.S. retaliated and dropped two atomic bombs called Fat Man and Little Boy on the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The U.S. was not justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan because of the locations that were bombed

The first atomic bomb ever to be used in a military operation was dropped on the City of Hiroshima. The second bomb exploded over Nagasaki. The first bomb dropped on Hiroshima was made from uranium. The bomb dropped on Nagasaki was made from plutonium. Little Boy was based on enriched uranium- 235 and Fat Man on plutonium-239. During world war ll, Hiroshima was a city of considerable military importance. Hiroshima was the primary target of the first U.S. nuclear attack mission. The city of

The Atomic Bomb, was it really justified? On August 6, 1945, after forty-four months of increasingly brutal fighting in the Pacific, an American B-29 bomber loaded with a devastating new weapon flew in the sky over Hiroshima, Japan waiting for a signal. Minutes later the signal was given, that new weapon, the atomic bomb, was released. Its enormous destructive energy detonated in the sky, killing one hundred thousand Japanese civilians instantly. Three days later, on August 9, 1945, the United

making of the Atomic bomb, the Third Reich of Germany would have already fallen. Timing was also another reason why Germany wasn’t chosen to use the atomic bomb on. Since the United States was not able to finish the bomb in time, Hiroshima and Nagasaki then became the primary targets over Germany. The reasoning behind making Japan the target was due to the fact that if the bomb failed to detonate, it wouldn’t be able to be recovered. Where as if Germany was the target and the bomb did not work, they

In August of 1945 the U.S used a massive atomic bomb against the people of Hiroshima, Japan. The atomic bomb that was used was identical to the equivalent of 20,000 rounds of TNT (Rosenburg, 2015). As you can imagine the bomb caused massive destruction and ended with the deaths of many people. It wiped out the city of Hiroshima, flattening it and ruining many of the things that once resided there. At that time, the Japanese were trying to cope with the loss of many family members and the loss

to the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki In 1945, the U.S bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan and became the first and only country to ever use atomic weapon during wartime. It had been almost 4 years since World War II started, most of the Axis Powers surrendered to the Allies but not Japan. Japan didn’t want to admit defeat. Instead, they'd rather die and President Truman of the United States of America wanted to end this war quickly. There were many reasons leading to the atomic bombing

Investigation: The aim of this historical investigation is explore to what extent, the 1945 nuclear attack on Nagasaki was necessary; to do this, the military grounds of the nuclear attack on Nagasaki will be examined. In order to analyse this, it 's vital to discuss President Truman 's official military reasons for using the Atomic bomb, why detonating the bomb was preferred invasion, and why Nagasaki was chosen as a target. With reference to opposing views, it 's vital to notice Japan 's capability continue

first atomic bomb over Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Once the United States dropped the atomic bomb there has been a lot of comments whether or not it was the right move to do. I believe that it was justified for the United States to drop the atomic bomb on Japan however, it did have some cons to it. The reason behind dropping the first atomic bomb was to stop the war. Although it roughly killed around 60,00 people in Hiroshima and 35,000 in Nagasaki. If they didn’t drop that bomb the war

dropped atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing nearly 200,000 people. This resulted in Japans surrender in World War II. J. Samuel Walker analyzes this historical event in his book Prompt and Utter Destruction: Truman and the Use of Atomic Bombs. Over the past 70 years’ extensive research has been conducted and there is an understanding that Truman’s decision to drop the atomic bombs is inconclusive. It is impossible to determine that the use of the bomb was the quickest
