it was either kill a few thousand with an atomic bomb, or invade Japan and lose millions of japanese and americans. Saves lives in the long run.
He was already dead at that point.
The bombing of Hiroshima brought us to the atomic era. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the last attacks in World War Two. Japan surrendered after the attacks.
The T shaped Aioi Bridge was the aim point in Hiroshima.
On August 6, 1945 Hiroshima was the primary target cityof the Little Boy enriched uranium atomic bomb and the bomb was dropped there.On August 9, 1945 Kokura was the primary target city of the Fatman plutonium atomic bomb, however due to heavy smoke cover from a nearby city that had been firebombed the night before it was not possible for the bombardier to identify the aim point and it was decided to proceed to the secondary target.On August 9, 1945 Nagasaki was the secondary target cityof the Fatman plutonium atomic bomb and the bomb was dropped there, despite heavy cloud cover making it difficult for the bombardier to identify the aim point (as it was the bombardier identified the wrong point, resulting in the Fatman being dropped about 1.9 miles from the planned aim point). The aircraft did not have enough fuel left to consider proceeding to the tertiary target city.
To end the war and to collapse Japan's means to make war ever again.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan
Some prominent symbols in Hiroshima include the Atomic Bomb Dome, the Children's Peace Monument with the Sadako statue, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, and the Hiroshima Peace Flame. These symbols serve as reminders of the devastating impact of the atomic bomb dropped on the city during World War II and promote peace and nuclear disarmament.
the atomic bomb was used to kill thousands of people in Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, two main cities in Japan. the point of dropping them was to end the war through destruction and violence not peace.
Yes, so I posted link with power point presentation on the bombings in the related links box below.
Hiroshima is in Japan. Hiroshima is the capital of Hiroshima Prefecture, and the largest city in the Chūgoku region of western Honshu, the largest island of Japan.
The first atomic bomb was detonated at the White Sands Proving ground at a location called Alamagordo in New Mexico in a project know as the Trinity Operation. A few weeks later an aerial atomic bomb exploded above Hiroshima, Japan. Another bomb, an H-bomb, exloded above Nagasaki, Japan 3 days later. At that point, Japan agreed to unconditional surrender, thus saving millions of lives that would have been lost had the Allies had to invade Japan (which was going to start about 2 weeks later).
America dropped Atomic Bomb onto the Japanese city of Nagasaki was because, during World War 2, Nagasaki was the largest sea port in South Japan, so this was a key area where the Japanese got it Military Equipment and food resources, along with other supplies. Also, with Hiroshima, at some point during the war, American sources suspected that the city had a Military Space, which was worth targeting however, this wasn't true but Hiroshima did have a Military base. Also, during the war, In north of Nagasaki, there was a camp, which held British Commonwealth POW's.
