Bombs

On August 9th, 1945 a second bomb was dropped by the United states, at Nagasaki resulting in a final surrender from Japan. General Leslie R. Forests, the man in charge of sorting out the Manhattan Project, which tackled the issue of creating and conveying the atomic blast, evaluated that another iota bomb which would be prepared to use against Japan by August 17th or 18th, however council members who were ambitious in ending the war decided to drop the bombs earlier and dote on Japan’s…

Although the atomic bombs triggered the Japanese surrender and ended the war, the utilization of a second bomb represented excessive force since they were dropped on mainly civilian population centers, and they scarred Japanese civilians for generations because of their horrific effects. The atomic bombs ended the Japanese campaign in the Pacific and triggered their surrender, ending the War. The unprecedented destructive power demonstrated by the atomic bombings left Japan's military and…

President Truman moved into office and was informed of the Manhattan project’s success; America now had the first atomic bombs. While American soldiers and civilians were weary from four years of war, the Japanese military was unwilling to give up their fight. This left President Truman with as he said, “The most difficult decision of my life.” On August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb, named ‘Little Boy’, was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later ‘Fat Man’ devastated the city of…

This led to the Allied powers planning to invade Japan but President Truman decided to nuclear bomb them instead.

Things that I believe that Truman had on his mind during dropping the bomb is how many people he could kill if he were to do that. I also think that he had a lot of consideration that maybe it was the wrong decision that maybe he shouldn’t have made. It also didn’t help that he wasn’t aware of the citation until FDR died and he needed to take over as president. He didn’t have much time to think if it was the right thing to do. He did what he thought was the best thing for the American people.…

This eventually lead to the use of atomic energy and its use to create a weapon far more destructive than any of those before it, the atomic bomb. This was a major breakthrough for the scientific and military community. In the 1940s, the United states created two atomic bombs that were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The atomic bomb changed the world forever, and it was known by scientists and politicians at the time that it would either contribute to world peace and…

Choosing Between Two Unforgivable Actions If I were in Truman’s place, with only his current knowledge of the bomb at the time of his decision, I could’ve dropped the bomb as well. The idea of intentionally harming someone makes me immediately feel guilty and horrible. But whether or not the bomb was dropped, people would’ve died. Truman had to choose between two terrible choices and try to determine which of those was the lesser evil, but regardless of his choice he would face criticism and be…
