The terrain was flattened meaning trees also perished.
See: Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
By any standard - yes .
The decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki did work to have the Japanese surrender without appeasment.
Actually, it has been decades without radiation that came from the atomic bombs.
I don't see any link, though some people may try to construct one for reasons of their own.
Many atomic bombs were detonated for "test" purposes. Fortunately none were used in war.
No one will ever know for certain how many died as a result of the attack on Hiroshima. Some 70,000 people probably died as a result of initial blast, heat, and radiation effects. This included about twenty American airmen being held as prisoners in the city.
All of earths resources will be destroyed and the trees will die out. Once all the trees die out, the people will not get any oxygen and we will all die.
No. That was one of the reasons it was a target for the atomic bomb. Any damage done had to be done by the single bomb.
It was mostly the civilian casualties. However this problem is not unique to atomic bombs. Any large bombing campaign has similar effects.
You are aware that unlike Pearl Harbor, the American bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was an attack on civilians, yeah? -------------------- Pearl Harbor as any base, house many civilians.
Military campaigns are secret by their very nature. Bombings over the Japanese mainland were always secret (as were bombings by the Japanese and German militaries) for risk of having bombers shot down. It is likely that some Japanese completely dismissed these leaflets. However, the Japanese government repeatedly lied to its citizens telling them that no bombings could occur (although Japan was being bombed at that point) and that no cities would be destroyed despite the fact that Japan was warned of a new and powerful device that would level cities. This was far more warning than any other people received prior to an attack such as the allied bombing of Dresden, Germany; the unprovoked Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in the US; and the month-long massacre of more than 400,000 Chinese residents of Nanking by Japanese soldiers. Maybe once: The leaflet mentioned below was (by some accounts) dropped on Hiroshima. However of the many versions of the leaflet which mention 33 imperiled Japanese cities, none ever mention Nagasaki, Hiroshima, or Kokura. So perhaps Japanese citizens in Hiroshima et.al. felt that the other cities were going to be bombed but that Hiroshima was not. On August 1, 1945, five days before the bombing of Hiroshima, the U.S. Army Air Force dropped five million leaflets over Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and 33 other Japanese cities warning that those cities were going to be destroyed within a few days and advising the residents to leave to save their lives. One side of the leaflet had a photo of five U.S. bombers unloading bombs and a list of the targeted cities. The other side had the text.
