Nuclear warfare

On 6 August 1945, U.S dropped the first bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The death toll reached around 135,000. The second bomb hit Nagasaki on 9 August 1945 (three days later). This time, the bomb killed as many as 74,000 people. (Mason, 2014, Para 1) The bombing was necessary because Japan would not have surrendered otherwise and this would have prolonged the war potentially creating an even worse fate for Japanese people, with an estimation of about five to ten million Japanese fatalities—a…

how we can learn from the past. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a result of the long and violent World War II.

During the 1944 presidential elections Roosevelt chose Truman to be his running mate because his former vice president, Harry Wallace, was not well liked.

The war had already been going on for six years before Truman became president…

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice shocked viewers when Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel was killed off by Doomsday, although comic book readers probably already knew what was coming the moment Lex Luthor’s creation appeared in the film’s trailer. Nevertheless, the death of Superman doesn’t seem to faze director Zack Snyder, who is already interested in working on Man of Steel 2! Snyder recently spoke to IGN, where he confirmed that he would want to do another film about the DC superhero. “I think if…

Explosive volcanoes are one of the most dangerous natural occurrences on the planet, but the types of volcanoes that can destroy the world are know as super volcanoes. Super volcanoes are determined by past explosion and this volcano can be located in the United States called Yellow Stone. Their criteria also depend on the volume of an eruption, for a super volcano the eruption must be more than 240 cubic miles of pumas and ash. There had been three super explosions that fit the criteria at…

If a gigantic atomic bomb hit your home you’d be scared too, right? That's exactly what the people of Hiroshima did, and here's how they grew from it.

Nuclear weapons are a device designed to release energy in an explosive manner as a result of nuclear fission, nuclear fusion or a combination of the two processes. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. This bomb releases the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of Explosive Trinitrotoluene (TNT). Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous weapons to mankind.One hit can destroy an entire country. The United States was the first…

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.
