Bombs

Many people argue whether the US’s decision to drop the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima was a justified action or not. In my opinion, the bomb was justifiable in its actions since it accomplished a goal that could not have been done without it. The dropping of the Atomic Bomb shortened the war and with it saved many lives on both the Allied side and the Japanese side, it also justified the expense it cost to make the bomb and prior to the bombing, the Japanese were given numerous chances to accept…

being demonstrated would be Tragedy since the bomb has fallen on Hiroshima killing thousands of civilians.

first atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima at 8:15 in the morning. Hiroshima, as a city, was circular in shape, and the bomb landed a bit northwest of the center of the city making the devastation from the bomb even more catastrophic. Also on August 9, 1945, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki at 11:02 am. The destruction at Nagasaki was not as bad as it was at Hiroshima but was still reported as if every building was under the condition as if it had taken a direct hit by a normal bomb, even…

Trinity test, many scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project lost enthusiasm. They realized the amount of devastation that the bomb they created would bring if used as a weapon. Many scientists fought against the production of more atomic bombs. Some even quit the Manhattan Project due to moral reasons. They did not want to be a part of the massive casualties these bombs would bring. After the success of the Trinity test, the United States sent the Potsdam Proclamation to Japan. This…

Science and technology two things that developed how we live today. From 1921-1957 some of the most important science and technologies were invented, the atomic bomb, Cars, and the Arms race with Russia that started with the space race. The atomic bombs were what helped the economy by ending the war early with Japan, ending things early saved many lives of Americans and the Japanese. Even though America had defeated Japan, we were still in the Space race or more of an arms race with Russia,…

“It would have been morally wrong if we’d have had that weapon (the atomic bomb) and not used it and let a million more people die.” stated Colonel Tibbets, the pilot of the Enola Gay. (Document L) The Enola Gay was the plane that dropped the first atomic weapon on Hiroshima. The Colonel was saying that if they had not dropped that bomb, it would have killed more of their men (the Americans), which would have been morally wrong because you are supposed to do what’s best for your team or army.…

Necessity of Atomic Warfare The question on everyone’s brain since the end of World War II has been “Were the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki necessary?” There are many arguments on both sides. For instance, if we had not retaliated against Japan so harshly they may have continued attacking us. The U.S. could have been seen as weak. On the other hand, many innocent people were killed. Opinions could go on for days and days but the fact is: Japan attacked us first. It was the…

arguments they would use. The reporters also asked for their thoughts on the opposing team and the teams’ counter arguments. The defending team told the reporters that President Truman was right in ordering the dropping of the atomic bomb. They told the reporters that the atomic bomb ended the war quicker, which also saved the most lives, and that it was the most cost efficient. They also pointed out that we elected him and that anything goes in times of war. When talking to the prosecution…

comes to if; the United States made a good or bad decision on dropping the bombs on Japan. I believe that the United States made a good decision when it came to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Others may say that it was a bad decision due to the amount of deaths that the bombs caused or how the United States could have given a better warning. But these bombings actually saved more lives and the U.S. couldn’t waste a bomb to give a better warning. The U.S. made a good decision when it…
