approval of president Truman, dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. On August 9th, 1945, a second atomic bomb dropped on another Japanese city, Nagasaki. Altogether, these bombs ended world war II, but killed nearly 200,000 japanese citizens along with years of radiation sickness and burns affecting the survivors. Today, the choice Truman made to drop the atomic bomb is still being debated whether it was necessary or not. War before the bomb The United States entered World War II on…

able to place more than one unit in each zone. This means that officers are further away from back up and response times may be longer than those experienced in the city. Rural departments are unlikely to afford specialized units meaning that bomb disposal, drug cases, and special victims crimes must be handled by either regular units or an outside element. This trend of requiring outside assistance is common in rural departments and may be seen anytime the department encounters any out of the…

usage of the atomic bombs was militarily unnecessary and immoral. Furthermore, it lead to the extensive loss of civilian life, therefore making these bombings justifiable only to a lesser extent. However, supporters of the bombings generally are of the opinion that they were instrumental in the Japanese surrender. These supporters also believe that the bombings were beneficial in preventing casualties on both sides, and helped in protecting America from further attacks, especially by Japan. Even…

During a nearly 20-year period during the 1940s and 1950s, a man by the name of George Metesky set off 33 pipe bombs in public places all around New York City. The motive for Metesky's crime is said to be "anger and resentment about a workplace injury." However, the name of the person who planted all these bombs was unknown until his capture in 1957. "He was nicknamed the "Mad Bomber" by the public and the media" (Mehlman, 2011). In the article "Criminal Profiling: The Reality Behind the Myth,"…

The process in making an atomic bomb and using it was a long and difficult project that took maybe people putting in work and making big decisions. Plutonium is created when an atom of uranium-238 absorbs a neutron and becomes plutonium-239. The reactor generates the neutrons in a controlled chain reaction. There are many different opinions about the making and the use of the atomic bomb during world war two and even still today. At the…

was found in the science of atomic radiation, atomic change and nuclear fission, which was developed between 1895 to 1945, where most of the of the development happened in the last six years of that period and the focus at the time was at the atomic bombs ("History Of Nuclear Energy - World Nuclear Association"). After the period of time mentioned above, from 1945 the focus of the scientist started to change and they wanted to harness this energy, in a controlled way to produce electricity. As…

two atomic bombs, causing major destruction and life threatening issues, over the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Everyone has their own take on what really happened and have their own perspective on controversies regarding the United States’ decision to drop the bombs.

After this test, the researchers informed President Truman…
