Hiroshima Atomic Bomb
According to wikipedia, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks during World War II against the Empire of Japan by United States of America under US President Harry S. Truman. On August 6, 1945, the nuclear weapon “Little Boy” was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, followed on August 9, 1945 by the detonation of the “Fat Man” nuclear bomb over Nagasaki. They are the only instances of the use of nuclear weapons in warfare. This video is a clip from a BBC Documentary called “Hiroshima” that was released in 2005.

I hope I’m not supposed to feel bad because of this, I don’t! We did what we had to in order to save as many lives as we could. They started the fight it’s just too bad that they picked a fight with someone with a much bigger punch!

The atomic bomb killed a lot of people in Japan. But they also killed a lot of people in China. Yes, i agree with you. They are the one who started the fight.

You’re supposed to feel bad if you have any ounce of human compassion. I’m American as well, but how dare you merely call it “picking a fight.” Disgusting.

Japan’s bombing of Pearl Harbor started the war, the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima ended it.
Don’t forget, the world was at war: Hitler and his Nazis allied with Tojo and his imperialists were determined to take over the world. America and its allies put a stop to that. Germany’s and Japan’s death camps were put out of business.

the bomb was sent after germany had stopped the war!so japanese were alone… moreon, the emperor himself wanted for long ago the ed of the war, but the japanese generals and admiral yamamoto, director of the kamikaze (divine wind) operations prefered to die than to surrender to the ennemy! none of them would have made peace. But I wouldn’t have sent a nuclear bomb on both cities! It was an idioty! Because perhaps americans have saved lives, but they caused 70.000 deaths in hiroshima and 40.000 in nagasaki, without counting the deads of radiation!!! so america made more deads than anything else!
