Pros And Cons Of Atomic Bombs

War, atomic bombs the days before and now, peace

Atomic bombs wouldn't never have made such a strong impression in my mind if they hadn't caused "The two bombings"-the historic event in the human history and then led the world to the Atomic Age.

These are generally information about "Little Boy" and "Fat man":

The atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, which killed between 129000 and 226000 people, claimed to be carried out for stopping the last long WW2 and decreasing the casualties of both sides: "Japan announced its surrender to the Allies on August 15, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki the Japanese government signed the instrument of surrender, effectively ending World War II." {1}

If we say War is fiend, so are Atomic Bombs the sons of War even though they were generated to contribute ending up their mother? Yes, because they are sons of demon, they are special in their own ways: killing back their mother and then obtained the appelation which used to belong to their mother: ‘’The most barbarous demon.”

That is normal to say:" There isn't anything wrong here for countries to maintain and develop those atomic weapons." However, it's a little bit difficult to accept that atomic bombs still be able to be used in the future like they used to be, but it must be in very very far future because luckily nowadays countries have strong solidarity. Whereas, people all over the world really solicitous about the propect of the world if there appeared any nuclear war again. That is the reason why there are lots of people have voted against keeping atomic bombs in countries. However, it will never be approved: the governments cannot spend massive amount of time and money making modern atomic weapons to destroy all of those things

    On August 6, 1945, in response to World War II and Japan’s vicious attacks on the U.S., the United States launched the atomic bomb “Little Boy” on the city of Hiroshima, Japan. 80,000 people died, and sixty percent of the city was destroyed. Three days later, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, in which killed 70,000 people instantaneously and many more in the following weeks. These atomic bombs resulted in pure destruction and chaos for Japan and its people. Although the atomic bombs destroyed part of Japan and took many lives with them, the dropping of the atomic bombs were justified because the U.S. aimed for the complete and utter destruction of Japan and Japan remained a major threat that needed to be eliminated.…

    On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor. This attack forced the United States into the war, and just a day later the U.S. declared war on Japan. During the summer of 1945, Japan became a weak and destroyed country, but they were unwilling to pull out of the war. The United States gave Japan the offer to surrender numerous times, and if they did not agree complete destruction of Japan was coming. The United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki within a few days of each other.…

    The Feelings of Indifference Towards Jews To this day, there is much discussion on whether or not we should have bombed the Auschwitz Concentration camp. It was a controversial topic during the war and is still controversial and debated on. The Allies should have bombed Auschwitz; they had all the needed technology and skill needed in order to carry out the operation, and in the long run, more Jews would have been saved in the process than the ones that had been killed during the bombing. Requirements Needed The Allies were more than capable of bombing Auschwitz they knew all the conditions that needed to be met, the time of day, and all the resources that were needed to pull it off successfully.…

    When looked up in the dictionary, the word conventional means, not using, making, or involving nuclear weapons or energy, nonnuclear. Therefore, conventional bombing is any type of bombing used during World War II besides the nuclear bomb. In the Pacific Theater of the war, bombing was used constantly, but around V-E day, it was switched to nighttime incendiary bombing in an attempt to close out the war wholly and quickly. This lead to millions of civilians being killed which is why this option is so controversial. I believe that the nuclear bomb and conventional bombing are equally as bad and that the nuclear bomb would only be justified if the incendiary raids had not occurred.…

    There is no absolutely safe defense against a nuclear bomb, so as shown through history, nuclear weapons are their own deterrents. To stop wars, nuclear weapons, such as atomic bombs, were used, but in order for the enemy to combat those weapons, they had to develop nuclear armaments themselves, which creates a cycle where the production of weapons instigates the production of more weapons16. This led to the situation in the 2000s when there were, “[…] 32,000 nuclear bombs possessed by eight nations containing 5,000 megatons of destructive energy. This is a global arsenal more than sufficient to destroy the world”17. It was only after the cold war, when the Soviet Union and the United States of America were competing to develop more and more deadly weapons in larger quantities, did countries realize that there was no need for all of the weapons they had created, and thus agreed to limit themselves to only enough weapons to eliminate the enemy.…

    The decision to use the atomic bomb posed several significant moral dilemmas for President Harry S. Truman, among these were justifications, alternatives, and complications of the situation. After Teddy Roosevelt 's death, Truman was the new president with a huge decision to make only a few months after. People felt Truman was an insecure man and poorly informed by Roosevelt until his entry to the presidency. It was months later that he learned of America’s dark secret, the Manhattan Project. There were presumably three possible alternatives available to Americans to avoid using the atomic bomb such as invasion, increasing bomb threats and blockades of Japan, and negotiating peace.…

    The decision to use the atomic bomb was partially a show-off of American strength over its enemies. The impact of the bombing on human beings and the environment is quite enormous and it is felt for many generations after the war. Those in favor of the bomb argued that dropping the bomb is better than invading Japan because it will save lives. This I do not agree with,…

    On the 6th day of August in 1945, the United States of America dropped the first Atomic Bomb to ever be used in warfare on the city of Hiroshima in Japan. Three days later, in Nagasaki, another was dropped. No one can contest that the events of these days were some of the darkest in history. However, what is contestable, is the validity of the United States decision to drop the Atomic Bombs. Some historians would argue that it was necessary to attain peace for all those involved in the second world war.…

This was a significant event of WW2 as it enlightened the world on why nuclear weapons shouldn’t be used in warfare.

    The fact that the United States decided to drop an atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan shocked many people, including U.S. citizens and the Japanese. The U.S. used a brutal force choosing the atomic bomb, as proven by the thousands of deaths caused. The U.S. knew the extent of damage it was causing by deploying the bomb, and some people still question the motives for such a ruthless choice of weaponry. The atomic bomb, however destructive and questionable, seemed to be the only sure way of ensuring “unconditional surrender.” The U.S. took matters into its own hands to ensure an end to war on its own terms.…

    Nuclear weapons were introduced into the world in 1945 ending the WW2. They were made to “protect” innocent people of the world, however, it ended up hurting and threatening them. We know what nuclear weapons can do, it has both short term effects and long term effects, but yet we still construct more and more of them. In total, there are about 23 000 nuclear weapons in the world with Russia and the United States owning most of them (Walker, Countdown to Zero).
