What was the short term impact of the hiroshima bombing?

Answer 1

It, along with the bombing of Nagasaki, brought WWII to a close. Without it, Operation Olympic, the invasion of Japan would have gone forward, with the estimates of loss of life unlike any which had been seen before, on all sides.

That depends on how short you are talking about. In the first milliseconds, a very short amount of time, there was a huge explosion that vaporized everything, including people, within a few miles. Then, after that, the shock wave blew buildings apart. The human short term effects were from radiation burns where many more people died in the weeks and months after the bombs were dropped.

Answer 5

We talk a lot about the effects of nuclear weapons on human health, but it is also important to ask what effects the knowledge of the world's nuclear arsenals and their destructive power may have on the human psyche. Do we really feel okay about living under the constant threat of annihilation posed by nuclear weapons? Many of us may not even have the energy to think about it, because the idea seems frightening, abstract and overwhelming.

Even though nuclear weapons are high-technological devices, we have to remember that in the end it is man who holds the finger on the trigger; it is man who has developed these weapons and who controls them and has the capacity to launch them - and get rid of them. History shows that on a number of occasions man has been a hair's breadth from using nuclear weapons by mistake, due to human errors and misinterpretations. How would it feel to be the one responsible for life and death - for the "to be or not to be" of mankind?

Only twice during the nuclear age have nuclear weapons been used in war: in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Close to 200 000 people were killed, but many survived. The Japanese call these survivors of the bomb Hibakusha. Today, many of the Hibakusha who are still alive travel the world to tell about their experience and memories. Many of them tell sad stories of exclusion and social stigmatization - of how society has rather not seen and offered a place to them, since they carry the memory of the terrible things that affected Japan in 1945.
