Atomic Bombs in Japan



In this photo, you can see there is huge mushroom cloud which is generated by atomic bombing. During the World War II in 1945, Japanese government ignored the warning for urging surrender by the United States. The first atomic bomb, Little Boy, was dropped in Hiroshima on August 6, and three days later there was another bomb, Fat Man, dropped in Nagasaki. These two bombs had a tremendous effect on Japan. The intense blast and radiation destroyed anything even remotely nearby, killing or injuring more than150,000 people at the time. This result was grievous as most victims were civilians and they were innocent. The decision of the U.S. to drop the bombs is still controversial to date. Although it is a sad fact that all war is inhuman, the U.S. was not necessarily to achieve the victory in such an immoral way. Even if this action caused Japan to surrender and ended the war, the far-reaching influence of atomic bombs should be pondered.
