How did the atomic bomb change warfare?

Answer 1

It ended World War 2.

Answer 2

The hydrogen bomb had not been developed before the end of World War II and therefore, the H bomb did not have an impact on Japan. The two bombs dropped on Japan, effectively ending the wat, were atomic -- but not "thermonuclear," or hydrogen bombs. Simply put, atomic bombs split atoms apart; hydrogen bombs fuse atoms together and the energy released by a hydrogen bomb is about one thousand times greater than the energy released by an atomic bomb.

Answer 3

The atomic bomb destroyed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some people in the cities were instantly incinerated if they were too close to the bomb's hypo-center (where it hit the ground and exploded) whereas some people who were further away suffered varying degrees of radiation poisoning. Common physical effects include amnesic condition, emotional intolerance, dizziness, having a heavy head or constant headache, insomnia, disturbances of metabolism and nutrition, just to name a few. Also peoples had cases of liver dysfunction, cardiovascular disorder, endocrinological diseases that were a direct result of the bombings.

Answer 4

On August 6, 1945, at 9:15 AM Tokyo time, a B-29 plane, the "Enola Gay" piloted by Paul W. Tibbets, dropped a uranium atomic bomb, code named "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan's seventh largest city. In minutes, half of the city vanished. According to U.S. estimates, 60,000 to 70,000 people were killed or missing, 140,000 were injuried many more were made homeless as a result of the bomb. Deadly radiation reached over 100,000. In the blast, thousands died instantly.

The city was unbelievably devastated. Of its 90,000 buildings, over 60,000 were demolished. Another bomb was assembled at Tinian Island on August 6. On August 8, Field Order No.17 issued from the 20th Air Force Headquarters on Guam called for its use the following day on either Kokura, the primary target, or Nagasaki, the secondary target. Three days after Hiroshima, the B-29 bomber, "Bockscar" piloted by Sweeney, reached the sky over Kokura on the morning of August 9 but abandoned the primary target because of smoke cover and changed course for Nagasaki.

Nagasaki was an industrialized city with a natural harbor in Western Kuushu, Japan. At 11:02 a.m., this bomb, known as the "Fat Man" bomb, exploded over the north factory district at 1,800 feet above the city to achieve maximum blast effect. Buildings collapsed. Electrical systems were shorted. A wave of secondary fires resulted, adding to their Holocaust.

Flash burns from primary heat waves caused most of the casualties to inhabitants. Others were burned when their homes burst into flame. Flying debris caused many injuries. A fire storm of winds followed the blast at Hiroshima as air was drawn back to the center of the burning area. Trees were uprooted. The bomb took the lives of 42,000 persons and injured 40,000 more. It destroyed 39 percent of all the buildings standing in Nagasaki. According to U.S. estimates, 40,000 people were killed or never found as a result of the second bomb.

The nuclear bombs made the war to end.

Answer 5

The Atomic bomb didn't really changed their strategy. After the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima no more island jumping was done and the allies held their position's. After the Japanese didn't accept the unconditional surrender the allies simply bombed another large military assist to the Japanese, which unfortunately was in the middle of the city of Nagasaki. At that point the Japanese saw they had no other choice but to surrender.

Answer 6

By showing everyone how powerful we can make weapons be. Weapons of mass-destruction.

Answer 7

It destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
