The decision to drop the A-bomb was chosen for several reasons, first and foremost to end the war against Japan. This strategy was decided upon because Japan's war-fighting industries were highly concentrated in metropolitan areas, but weren't zoned away from residential areas, and those cities had a high proportion of flammable materials. Operation Downfall was the original plan which caused for a massive invasion of Japan by mostly US forces. The casualty estimates were between 1-3 million. This was unacceptable and of the 100 million people living in Japan, about 90-95 million would be a casualty due to the insanity of the peoples devotion to the Emporer. What came about in the Trinity Project was a way to end the way in the quickest possible way. But it was not only to end the war, another reason is elieved to have been to intimidate the Soviets so that they would vacate eastern Europe (which they didnt do). The US actions were justified and believe it or not, taken literally not a single civilian was killed in the bombings. Japan had declared that if the US invaded Japan they would face an army of 100 million which automatically drafted all of their citizens into their military. Now they were obviously mostly innocent people but you have break eggs to make omlets. A couple hundred thousand people died as a result of the bomb and radiation but again the estimates for the invasion were even worse. The dropping of the Atomic bomb, cruel as it may have been, was absolutely necessary.…

Later that month, Columbus sighted Cuba and believed it was mainland China; in December the expedition found Hispaniola, which he though might be Japan. There, he established Spain's first colony in the Americas with 39 of his men. In March 1493, the explorer returned to Spain in triumph, bearing gold, spices and "Indian" captives. He crossed the Atlantic several more times before his death in 1506; by his third journey, he realized that he hadn't reached Asia but instead had stumbled upon a continent previously unknown to Europeans.The geological history of Earth follows the major events in Earth's past based on the geologic time scale, a system of chronological measurement based on the study of the planet's rock layers (stratigraphy).
