Was The First Atomic Bomb Used On Hiroshima Justified?

Nuclear power is a very big problem to this very day, the radioactive waves it projects cause residual damage way after the initial impact. Nuclear bombs are a very deadly weapon and kill many with their impact and residing effects like radiation. Causing cancer and other cell mutations in a human or animal body. The first nuclear bomb was approved to be created by President Roosevelt and created in the 1940’s by Julius Robert Oppenheimer, there were a few trials to test it but the final result was a gun-type uranium bomb named “the little boy”. This bomb was used in Hiroshima, Japan August 6th, 1945, causing many lives to be taken. The US personnel who were working and used the bomb underestimated the sheer damage the bomb would cause even

This is the American perspective on using the bomb. This essay will emphasize the idea that the bomb used on Hiroshima was justified when you actually put it in the perspective of the American situation. In 1941, President Roosevelt approved the construction of the first atomic bomb as originally planned for Nazi Germany, but in its creation it was unclear what the construction of it would result in. Originally, it was created to have a fear advantage over Germany, not planning on using it unless absolutely needed. While in its testing stage, there was top secret, the code name for the trial was called Trinity and the original bomb that was detonated was named Gadget. At the time, it had to remain anonymous with the exception of the few people who needed to know. Gadget was released at a testing ground in Las Almas, Mexico on July 16, 1945. This testing ground was secluded and a presumed secure safe place to test their new creation but they underestimated the damage of the fallout, leading many civilians near to develop radiation poisoning, and

It was because of the bomb that Germany did not try anything, it was because of the bomb that it didn't seem worth it to possibly have a new deadly weapon against them without much clue what it could do. “The story of the atomic bomb started around the turn of the century when a small number of physicists began to think about, discuss, and publish papers about the phenomenon of radioactivity, the behavior of alpha particles, and the properties of various materials when irradiated. Initially, these persons included well-known scientists such as Ernest Rutherford of New Zealand and Great Britain, Neils Bohr of Denmark, Pierre and Marie Curie of France, and Albert Einstein of Germany”. These famous scientists all contributed to the creation of the atomic bomb, these people who noticed the potential to create something off of Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus in 1911. They used his research and hypotheses and ended up creating something that could cause such devastating
