Japan
in world war 2 the atom bomb little boy was dropped over hiroshima, japan on the sixth of august 1945 and the second atom bomb was dropped over nagasaki, japan 3 days later.
It was actually the atom bomb from the Manhattan project. It was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945 (that one was a uranium bomb) And dropped on Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945 (a stronger plutonium bomb)
Hiroshima, Japan
I believe it was right, yet unright, to use the atomic bomb in World War 2. On one hand, it quickly stopped the war, we would not have to involve ourselves in a bloody invasion of the home islands, and it made the U.S.A. look stronger. But on the other, there have been almost 500,000 deaths because of it, there have been uprisings of revisionists, and we could have waited to see if the invasion of the Soviets two days later would have been successful. I currently have no solid opinion as to whether the atomic bombing was the right decision or not. _____________________________________________________________________ I believe it was right. This is because if we did not use the atomic bomb, and Japan invaded us (the USA) is was estimated that 500,000 to 1,000,000 American people would have been killed. When the USA bombed Japan only 65,000 to 200,000 died. Some might say we should have shown Japan the bomb, but that would have been too risky. It cost the USA about 2 million dollars to make the atomic bombs, why should they waste the money to show Japan what will happen if they don't surrender? They might not surrender anyway! Also, after they saw our bomb, Japan could have made an even bigger one. I am not tring to purswade anyone's opinion, these are just the facts i have gathered.
To end WWII.
Japan bombed Hawaii. (pearl harbor)
Absolutely not, they might have attempted to shoot down the strike planes and captured a bomb.
Atom bomb should not have been dropped. it was still a prototype and had seemed like a good way to end world war 2 . It worked but at a great cost and much suffering
It ended the war and collapsed Japan's means to make war so most people favor the use of the atomic bomb in ww2
Because a mainland invasion would have been very costly, and the US wanted to test their new toy.
The decision was the President's. He stated that he wanted to put an end to Japan's capacity to go to war.
The atomic bomb had already been used against Japan in 1945
it would kill many people
Some reasons for not using the atomic bomb include its devastating impact on civilians, long-term environmental consequences, and the potential for escalating arms races. Additionally, there are ethical concerns surrounding the indiscriminate destruction and loss of life caused by the bomb.
yes the reason why they have bomb America for a long time so there was a taste of there own medicine
== == It was an effort to convince Japan to surrender during WWII
