Did the pilots go mad after dropping the bomb?
Rumors about that were not true. The pilot pilot who dropped the first atomic bomb died at 96 years old with no regrets.
How long did it take for atomic bomb to land?
The first atomic bomb was launched in 1945, by the US. It incinerated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan during WWII The above is half true. That was the first time an atomic bomb was used in war, but the first atomic bomb was detonated at the the Trinity Site in White Sands Missile Range, on July 16, 1945.
What were the main reason us dropped the atomic bomb in the two city of japan?
reason-1. USA (and its allied forces) wanted to punish Japan and Japan to be capitulized; reason-2 to show USA has acheived a real explodable atomic bomb reason-3 USA to see the after effects of bomb blast 2nd Answer: None of the above is true. The two bombs were dropped to prevent mass death when the allies invaded Japan (because she would not surrender). In other words, to force Japan to surrender. They did not surrender after the first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, and a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. At this point a huge allied invasion force was within two weeks of invading Japan. Huge numbers of allied and Japanese military would have died had the invasion taken place, along with millions of Japanese citizens. Secondly, a number of Japanese cities had endured thousands of incendiary bombs being dropped. This was called fire bombing. Tokyo was the main target, and it was nearly destroyed from the ensuing fires. Many more military and civilians were killed and injured than by the two bombs. After the war ended, a number of Japanese Navy higher-ups stated that the dropping of the two bombs saved millions of lives, and they were happy that their country was never invaded militarily.
Is it true that Emperor Hirohito had submitted a decree of surrender right before Truman had the bombs dropped?
"On 6th August 1945, a B29 bomber (Enola Gay) dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima. It has been estimated that over the years around 200,000 people have died as a result of this bomb being dropped. Japan did not surrender immediately and a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki three days later. On 10th August the Japanese surrendered. The Second World War was over." from Atom Bomb on Hiroshima, WW2 - Timeline Index
What were the pros and cons for politics after dropping the atomic bomb on japan?
After it was done, no one could do a thing about that. It is true that the bombs ended the war and collapse Japan's to make war again but on the hand the advocates against the use of atomic bombs mostly referred on the civilian casualties, the illness it brought and the devastation.
Why was Japan defeated in 1945?
Because Japan did not have the resources or the industrial capacity to continue fighting. True, Japan would have been halted by shrinking materials....eventually. However, the dropping of the atomic bomb, both in Hiroshima & Nagasaki brought Japan to it's knees. A third location was hinted at, but never bombed. It must be said that prior to the use of the atomic bomb. Many members of the Diet (governing body) were advocating ending the war.
Is it true that the atomic bomb couldn't exist without radioactivity?

President Truman's most difficult decision was?

Why was japan ready to call it quits before US dropped the atomic bomb?
It is widely beleived with hindsight, that the Japanese forces were on their last legs when President Truman authorised the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, the Americans weren't to know that at the time, and the fact that the Americans had experienced such violently patriotic Japanese in the form of kamikaze pilots on suicide missions, meant that they thought that in the long term, there would be less war casualties (again with hindsight, not necesarily true) on both sides if the bombs were dropped and brought a swift end to the war.
Who is the founder of atomic bomb?
They were developed jointly by the United States, Britain and Canada. If you think that an individual designed or created such a bomb then it ain't true.
