Research Paper On Hiroshima Bombing
Hiroshima
Picture starting off a normal day, cleaning medical tools or being a high schooler driving a bus filled with other people going to work or running errands. Gazing up into the sky and seeing an airplane was common whether the plane was from home or from the enemies. The initial thought for this promiscuous plane is that the military is practicing with aircrafts. However, when this aircraft drops a peculiar object, the thought changes into an enemy plane bombing us. Then the next thing the people of Hiroshima knew, the beloved city was gone within seconds, replaced with a sight that will haunt then into the afterlife. During World War II, the United States bombed a large city in japan called Hiroshima. Trying to end the war is not …show more content…
U.S. naval commander Logan Ramsay saw a plane dropping black object and identified the plane as a Japanese plane dropping a bomb. Logan Ramsay said, “Air raid, Pearl Harbor. This is not a drill…” (Hoyt). Two air raids later, the harbor was left in ruins, eighteen ships either lost or damaged, and 3,400 people lost or severely injured. The Japanese also bombed airfields and radio stations but missed fuel reserves, which was their main targets (notes). The bombing sent America into World War II, against Japan in the Pacific. After the bombing at Pearl Harbor, America joined World War II and fought against Japan in the Pacific, known as the Pacific Theater. All the battles fought in the Pacific Theater were fought with aircraft carriers and aircrafts in the Pacific ocean. Japan wanted to expand their land mass and they started to achieve that by conquering islands in the Pacific. America responded by island hopping, or conquering japanese islands and cutting off their supplies (notes), making their way to Tokyo. Island hopping was a difficult war tactic because of difficult environment, however America would not …show more content…
Yet if the damage is compared between Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima, Hiroshima's number range higher than Pearl Harbor. The United States lost ships, aircrafts, and only 2,300 people (notes) while the japanese lost almost an entire city and over 100,000 people. Japan had a simple plan that would only weaken the United States naval power (notes). Regardless how Japan's simple plan was, the United States had to create a bigger impact and create something to decimate Hiroshima. So much for wanting equal rights and peace among nations, way to go with destroying two perfectly good cities who had virtually nothing to do with the
