Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

 Even before Hiroshima, people knew the atomic bomb

The United States of America       

The United States detonated two nuclear weapons over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki . The two bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people .


 August 6 and 9, 1945 

Therefore, the then US president, Harry Truman, authorised the use of atomic bombs in order to make Japan surrender, which it did. Why was Hiroshima chosen for the attack? Truman decided that only bombing a city would not make an adequate impression. The aim was to destroy Japan's ability to fight wars.

It razed and burnt around 70 per cent of all buildings and caused an estimated 140,000 deaths by the end of 1945, along with increased rates of cancer and chronic disease among the survivors. A slightly larger plutonium bomb exploded over Nagasaki three days later levelled 6.7 sq km.

On August 6, 1945, the US dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, and three days later, on August 9, it dropped another bomb on Nagasaki, killing hundreds of thousands of people and affecting many more who would suffer the effects of the radiation from the blast and the “black rain” that fell in the aftermath of the explosions.

The US War Department had said an “impenetrable cloud of dust and smoke” cloaked Hiroshima after the bomb exploded.

Every positive value has its price in negative terms the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
