The Atomic Bombs. The dropping of the atomic bombs on japan was not justified, giving them no warning the U.S. went through and dropped the bomb to end war faster killing thousands of people. Considering the fact that this happened during world war 2, many were left dead, hurt, and with destroyed cities, due to japan not wanting to surrender, citizens of japan and the people in japan were impacted by this action. The United States, dropped theses bombs with not one single warning, above cities, and they did it to impress Russia.
The actions authorized by President Truman on August 6, 1945 to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan would be proven to be unjustified in the years that followed. Actions of this type can divide and break a once unified nation. Deciding if the united States bombing Japan was justified or not would depend on how well you know the topic. Looking deeper into the bombing will reveal the horrendous truth.
American military leaders from all branches of the armed forces some prior to August 1945, some in retrospect, strongly demurred from the decision to use the bombs for moral reasons. Japan was already defeated and in peace negotiations with Russia; surrender was imminent. Moreover, Russia was willing to enter the war against Japan if necessary. Bombing dense human settlements was pretty much barbarous, immoral and would shock world opinion. Some argue a demonstration bombing away from residential areas could be used instead to force immediate surrender.
Thanks to a german scientist named Albert Einstein, The United States created the atomic bomb. Albert Einstein came from germany to warn the president that Germany was going to make an atomic bomb. President roosevelt then approves the making of the atomic bomb and the project later becomes known as the manhattan project. The first atomic bomb was made in Manhatten, New York, USA.
The Atomic Bomb was only supposed to be used for defense only. In August 1945, President Truman decided to drop two atomic bombs on Japan. I think Enola Gay shouldn’t have dropped the Atomic Bomb. I’m going to tell you why.
On August 6, 1945 the world’s first atomic bomb was dropped over the Japanese city of Hiroshima by an American B-29 bomber. This bomb as well as the second atomic bomb dropped on August 9, 1945 over the Japanese city of Nagasaki killed a combined 150,000 people on impact. Although these bombs killed an immense number of people, it was still better than continuing the war and allowing another country to attempt an atomic bombing on the US. Although there were many reasons to drop the atomic bomb, the most influential were that Japan was not going to surrender and there were no strong alternatives that would have had the same final effect on the war. America’s atomic bombing of Japan was the best action available because there were no strong
In an article published by The Atlantic Karl L. Compton gives his take on the dropping of two nuclear warheads on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While reflecting he comes to the conclusion that dropping the bombs was indeed the appropriate. I agree fully that this was the right course of action, as the Japanese had proven up to this point that they weren’t willing to back down. An alternative attack wouldn’t have been as potent, and dropping the nukes prevented greater casualty numbers. Keep in mind this wasn’t just a hasty decision made by our world leaders “Then, shortly before Hiroshima, I became attached to General MacArthur in Manila, and lived for two months with his staff.
The atomic bomb is a weapon of mass destruction that was tested successfully on July 16, 1945. Nuclear weapons caused many doors to be opened in the weaponry industry that could cause many international incidents or even a nuclear war. On August 6th and 9th of 1945, the 33rd president, Harry Truman, ordered two atomic bombs to be dropped on Japan as an effort to weaken the country to lead to its surrender, and the operation was successful. While the attack led to the Allied powers winning the war, debates started popping up all over the country and even the world questioning if the atomic bombing was necessary. Based on my interpretation of the evidence provided to me, I believe that the use of the atomic bomb was not justified because of the
I think that the Atomic bomb shouldn’t have been invented but I think dropping the Atomic Bomb was necessary to help and show the danger of it. If the atomic bomb was never dropped anything could have happened Russia could have dealt with it, but if that happened Japan would still be working on military weapons, and try to take of the Pacific again or tag team on America. Since America dropped the Atomic bomb the world learned the power and danger of it, and seeing the survivors and the environment showed that the U.S had no idea on what power they were up against. If the U.S didn’t drop the bomb some other country would figure out the power and try to take over the world with it or end up destroying it. The radiation from the two atomic bombs
Should Japan get bombed? Did they deserve it? Do you think revenge is the key to success? All these questions were being asked when the government was deciding to drop the bomb or not. Most say yes, this bomb should be dropped since it ended the war, but is it really worth it to kill many innocent lives?
If you were the president of the United States during a war, and the opposing forces were talking of surrender, would you not jump on even the possibility to negotiate surrender? Would you give them their one condition they ask for and then proceed to kill around 180,000 civilians then give them that one condition to make peace? The answer to both of those questions is no. Although I do believe that ending the war sooner and avoiding invasion is a must, there were other options that in my opinion would have worked as well. The USA did NOT have to drop the Atomic Bomb.
The bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, during World War II, is still one of the most controversial and tragic events in human history. The decision to drop an atomic bomb on a civilian population raises ethical questions about the use of such destructive weapons in war. Advocates of the bombing argue that it was necessary to bring a quick end to the war and save countless lives that would have been lost in a prolonged conflict. They claim that the shock and awe of the atomic bomb forced Japan to surrender, thus preventing further bloodshed. However, critics argue that the bombing of Hiroshima was a disproportionate and inhumane act that resulted in the deaths of over 100 thousand civilians, many of them women and children.
The decision to drop the atomic bomb was a very hard decision for many people. The two sides to it were the people who didn’t feel the need to drop the atomic bomb and the people who did. It could have gone millions of different ways, but there was only one way that it went. Is it the right choice? Everyone had a different opinion of the atomic bomb dropping, although the atomic bomb was dropped you would be surprised at how many people didn’t want it dropped.
It saved lives on both sides. There was no need for amphibious United States invasion, no long campaign through Japan, the war was made shorter than it should have been and that is how thousands or even millions of lives from american and japan side were saved. The second argument for dropping the bomb is the one that says they had to test it. A lot of money was spend, and a lot of people,scientists were engaged in building it.
The idea of dropping such a devastating weapon on a civilian population is troubling. It seems morally and ethically there must be an alternative. The bombing of civilians is barbaric and cruel, but through the years we have lost sight of our morals and ethic beliefs on the value of human life and the innocence of civilians. The use of an atomic bomb seems like the easy way to end a long and drawn out war, but it is also the coward's way of avoiding further conflict. The mass genocide of civilians goes against everything that we as Americans believe is right.
