when and why were the atomic bombs were dropped over the cities of japan? who was responsible for that?

Answer 1

here is the thing japan tried to surrender 2 months before but we didnt accept because our govt wanted to test it & see what would happen this is the sad truth

Answer 2

August 6th, Little boy was dropped from the Nola Gay, Hiroshima flown by Col. Tibbets,

August 9th, Big Man was dropped by Boc'x car pilot unknown.
on Nagasaki.

We dropped two bombs, because they were both different types of atomic bombs, one was a uranium gun, and the other a plutonium implosion.

It was dropped on Virgin Cities, which means cities that were not firebombed as Toyko was to see what damage the bombs could do.

President Truman ordered the bombing so that Japan would finally bow out of the war, no matter what the US did, including Firebombing with over 500 B29s in Toyko Japan would not surrender. Therefore President Truman had the ability to fire Atomic Bombs on the Japanese and he did so to bring an end to the war.

The US had seriously hurt the Japanese Fleet in 1943 in Midway when we sank most of her fleet AirCraft Carriers, and so the rest of the war, was a mop up moving east to west to shorten the distance the US was from the home island of Japan to use B29s as bombers. The entire war only 2 US Fleet Air Craft Carriers were damaged, the YorkTown and the Lexington. The Yorktown was sank in Midway, and the Lexington was sank soon after Pearl Harbor.

Answer 3

1945, right at the end of the war. And that was no coincidence. Dropping those bombs ended the war with Japan.
President Harry S Truman made the decision to drop the bombs. One of the few things he did which I agree with.
More people in Japan were killed in the fire bombing of Tokyo than either one of the two atomic bombs. The total of the two bombs was slightly more than one nights fire bombing.

Answer 4

August 6, 1945 - Hiroshima
August 9, 1945 - Nagasaki

Why? Because Japan refused to surrender after the Battle of Okinawa which had finished off their navy. Harry Truman knew that given the loss of life at Okinawa, Japan would not surrender without extreme loss of life on both sides if the US had to invade the main islands, so decided to drop the atom bomb instead.

Answer 5

In 1945, Atomic bombs were dropped in Japan to end the war immediately because of the unlawful aggression against Asian countries in order to reduce American casualties.

Answer 6

I believe Truman was responsible for that, conpared to the pres. in before him (i forgot) he was considered a nobody. He also had little time and LOTS of pressure to drop them, he basically had no choice.

When, world war 2 I believe.

Why. K, so the war w/ the germans had already ended, all that was left was getting the japanese to stop attacking us.

Prior to the bombs being dropped, hundreds of thousandes of Americans had died fighting in islands against the japanese. Same goes for the japenese. Now the public is pissed, cause this is pointless fighting. Now comes along a bomb that could end this. save hundrends of thousands of american lives, stop the "evil" japenese who had taken over tons of pacific islands.

Imagine, if he hadn't used it and the public found out he could have. Mass riot, massive amounts of people who stop believeing in the government. So yep, thats when why and who.

Answer 7

Try and ask our creator who led and guided the Liberation of Freedom back in world war two?
The answer is in Exodus.

Answer 8

there's also the theory that the real reason why they dropped the 2nd bomb so quickly after the first was to demonstrate their power to the Russians.

Answer 9

1945. US. to minimize casualties.

Answer 10

I think you ought to read REAL history instead of the liberal bias you've been fed.
