    The atomic bomb is the subject of much controversy. The original desire of the United States government when they dropped Little Boy and Fat Man on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not, in fact, the one more commonly known: that the two nuclear devices dropped upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki were detonated with the intention of bringing an end to the war with Japan, but instead to intimidate the Soviet Union. The fact of Japan's imminent defeat, the undeniable truth that relations with Russia were deteriorating, and competition for the division of Europe prove this without question.…

    In August of 1945, the United States launched two atomic bombs on Japan; the first, in Hiroshima on August 6, and the second in Nagasaki a few days later. Despite the obvious diplomatic advantage to implementing one of the most intimidating weapons of that time, the United States’ tactics and goals behind dropping the atomic bombs were purely military oriented; the political benefit was merely an added bonus. The atomic bomb was necessary due to the Japanese’s refusal to surrender and the hundreds of thousands of lives at stake.…

    The purpose behind the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan was to try and force the Japanese to surrender the war effort against the Americans. However, the Japanese military would still not come to terms with surrender, so American airmen responded by dropping another atomic bomb a few days later on Nagasaki, Japan. The atomic bombs that were dropped started a very controversial issue on whether or not America’s dropping the bomb was the right thing to do to end the war with Japan.…

    The atomic bomb is the subject of much controversy. Since its first detonation in 1945, the entire world has heard the aftershocks of that blast. Issues concerning Nuclear Weapons sparked the Cold War. We also have the atomic bomb to thank for our relative peace in this time due to the fear of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). The effects of the atomic bomb might not have been the exact effects that the United States was looking for when they dropped Little Boy and Fat Man on Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively (Grant, 1998). The original desire of the United States government when they dropped Little Boy and Fat Man on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not, in fact, the one more commonly known: that the two nuclear devices dropped upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki were detonated with the intention of bringing an end to the war with Japan, but instead to intimidate the Soviet Union.

    Hiroshima and Nagasaki are two towns in southern Japan. Nagasaki, at the time, had the largest seaport in southern Japan and it had a reputation for its industrial activity. Hiroshima, however, had military significance with defense camps and army headquarters situated there. To American officials these two towns were perfect for weakening a country’s military system and morale. The ‘Little Boy’ atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on the 6th of august 1945. The second bomb, ‘Fat Man’, was released on Nagasaki on the 9th of August 1945. The attack on the city of Nagasaki was a surprise because US officials had actually wanted ‘Fat Man’ to drop on the city of Kokura. Nagasaki was the second option for the aircrew who were forced to drop the bomb on another city2.…

    On the morning of July 16th, 1945 the first successful detonation of an atomic bomb was recorded at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The explosion from the blast yielded more power than twenty thousand tons of TNT and could be seen at a distance greater than two hundred miles away. (Atomic Bomb-Truman Press Release) Later that month President Truman met with other Allied commanders in Potsdam, Germany to negotiate terms that would put an end to the Second World War. During the conference, the Allies declared that Japan must unconditionally surrender and they released the “Potsdam Declaration” which threatened Japan with “prompt and utter destruction” if it did not do so. (The Potsdam Conference, 1945) Japan rejected the declaration which led Truman to authorize the use of atomic weapons. On the morning of August 6th, 1945 the a-bomb nicknamed Littleboy was dropped on Hiroshima. Seventy thousand lives were lost in a blinding flash of light and heat. Japan still would not surrender. A few days later on August 9th, 1945 the second bomb, Fat Man, was dropped on Nagasaki killing over twenty thousand instantly. Twenty thousand more would die in the following weeks due to radiation exposure. (Atomic Bomb-Truman Press Release)…

    Although WW II ended over 50 years ago there is still much discussion as to the events which ended the War in the Pacific. The primary event which historians attribute to this end are the use of atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Although the bombing of these cities did force the Japanese to surrender, many people today ask "Was the use of the atomic bomb necessary to end the war?" and more importantly "Why was the decision to use the bomb made?" Ronald Takaki examines these questions in his book Hiroshima.…

    The Holocaust was one of the most horrifying crimes against humanity. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that Jews, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, Roma (Gypsies), and homosexuals amongst others were to be eliminated from the German population. One of his main methods of exterminating these "undesirables" was through the use of concentration and death camps. In January of 1941, Adolf Hitler and his top officials decided to make their "final solution" a reality. Their goal was to eliminate the Jews and the "impure" from the entire German population. Auschwitz was not only the largest concentration camp that carried out Hitler's "final solution," but it was also the most extensive. It was comprised of three separate camps that encompassed approximately 25 square miles. Although millions of people came to Auschwitz, it is doubted that more than 120,000-150,000 ever lived there at any one time. (Encyclopedia of the Holocaust)…

    On August 6, 1945, an atomic bomb dubbed “Little Boy” was dropped on Hiroshima and was followed by another, named “Fat Boy” at Nagasaki three days later in an attempt by the United States to end WWII. Germany had been defeated and the allied forces were sure to win the war. The main concern was how to defeat Japan. Japan surrendered unconditionally on August 14th, 1945. President Truman’s decision to use the bombs is often criticized given that the effects of an atomic bomb are so devastating and long lasting. Was the atomic bomb really necessary? There were four major alternatives to dropping the atomic bomb: using the atomic bomb in a non combat demonstration, altering the demand for unconditional surrender, invade Japan with Allied and Soviet assistance, and continuing conventional war techniques.…

    On August 6th, 1945, President Truman addressed the American people, informing them that one of the most influential events in history had occurred, “Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima,...That bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of TNT...which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warfare”. By the summer of 1945, millions of soldiers and citizens of the world had died after years of fighting in the Second World War. Although Europe’s involvement in the war had come to an end, the War in the Pacific between the United States and Japan had not found its conclusion. The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki have come to be among the most debatable events in history. While some argue that because the bombings ended World War II, more lives of both American and Japanese soldiers were saved then there were victims of the bombs; others argue that more measures could have been attempted in order to possibly preventing the need for the bombs. The argument that the dropping of the bombs have prevented possible future wars from occurring has been made. However, the lasting environmental and social effects of the bomb have left…
