When was the atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima ? Which nation used the bomb ?

Question

What were the effects of the atom bomb on the people of Hiroshima?
please give good answers............regards

Answer 1

The first atom bomb was dropped on August 6th 1945 on Hiroshima and the one on Nagasaki was dropped 3 days later on August 9th 1945, The plan had been to drop the second one on Kokura but the secondary target of Nagasaki was chosen when cloud cover made Kokura invisible from the air.

Japan surrendered on August 15th.

Approx 90,000 people died instantly at Hiroshima (at the time of the attack the population was approximately 255,000) and 74,000 of Nagasaki's 240,000 residents were killed and up to 60,000 were injured..

By December of 1945, thousands had died from their injuries and radiation poisoning, bringing the total killed in Hiroshima in 1945 to perhaps 140,000. In the years between 1950 and 1990, it is statistically estimated that hundreds of deaths are attributable to radiation exposure among atomic bomb survivors from both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The survivors of the bombings are called Hibakusha, a Japanese word that literally translates to "explosion-affected people". The suffering of the bombing is the root of Japan's postwar pacifism, and the nation has sought the abolition of nuclear weapons from the world ever since. As of 2005, there are about 266,000 hibakusha still living in Japan.

Harry S. Truman was the thirty-third President of the United States (1945–1953); as Vice President, he succeeded to the office upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt and thereby became responsible for the decision for America to use nuclear weapons.

Was the decision justified?

In both cities, the overwhelming majority of the deaths were those of civilians.

The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender, as well as the effects and justification of them, has been subject to much debate.

In the U.S., the prevailing view is that the bombings ended the war months sooner than would otherwise have been the case, saving many lives that would have been lost on both sides if the planned invasion of Japan had taken place.

In Japan, the prevailing view is that the bombings were unjustified, and that knowingly inflicting harm of this magnitude on civilians was inherently immoral

History will decide.

Answer 2

During World War 2, 1945. America dropped the bombs to bring about the end of the war in the Asia Pacific region.

Limited by today's standards, the bomb was like nothing ever seen in 1945. It obliterated a significant portion of the cities and killed many thousands of people.

Though devasting to Japan, it shortened the war tremendously. Though the war had already begun to turn against the Japanese sometime eariler (some say the Battle of Midway), without the bombs, fighting might have progressed even throughout the land of Japan before Japan would have surrendered. No one would have liked to estimate the number of deaths on both sides if that took place.

Answer 3

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks during World War II against the Empire of Japan by the United States of America under US President Harry S. Truman. On August 6, 1945, the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, followed on August 9, 1945 by the detonation of the "Fat Man" nuclear bomb over Nagasaki.

According to some estimates, about 70,000 of Nagasaki's 240,000 residents were killed instantly,[40] and up to 60,000 were injured. The radius of total destruction was about 1.6 km (1 mile), followed by fires across the northern portion of the city to 3.2 km (2 miles) south of the bomb.[41] The total number of residents killed may have been as many as 80,000, including those who died from radiation poisoning in the following months.[42]

Answer 4

The atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima a few days before Nagasaki in the year 1945.
The bombing was done to revenge the attack on Pearl harbor (The naval base of the US).Actually, a treaty was signed between Japanese and the Americans that no one will attack the other one.But some Japanese activists did not know this and attacked the Pearl Harbor the very next day after signing the treaty (in 1941).The americans got angered by this and prepared two atom bombs 'Little Boy' and 'Fat Man' and dropped them in the two famous cities of theJapan.

Answer 6

Hiroshima was august 6 1945 and nagasaki was august 9th 1945.. only the hiroshima bomb was dropped from the B-29 Enola Gay flown by Col Tibbets.

If you actually look at the casualty reports though, our firebombing campaign was far more damaging. Hiroshima was instant death for 100,000 people...

the effects were absolutely horrible, although the people of these cities were warned by air dropped pamplets that the city would be wiped out, the warning went mainly unheeded due to previous propoganda.

The air campaign on japan was our bloodiest time of the war. which was atrocious on both sides, although it is generally agreed that shortening the war any way possible was a good thing.

Japan was gearing up for an all out defense of it's homeland, training everyone, women and children included to defend to the death.
Japan had an extremely militaristic tradition for the previous 150 years or so and to lose in battle was worse than death. It was taught that it was better to die for your emperor.
Estimates of an invasion included 5 million japanese casualties and a million allied casualties.

The Japanese people even attempted to assassinate the emperor after he gave the order to surrender,, that's how strong the military tradition was. He was viewed as a living god and they tried to kill him as an imposter for surrendering.

Answer 7

They would have surrendered eventually, but probably not until after many more Japanese had died than were killed in the atom bombings. It is important to note that, the day before the surrender was announced (and after the Emperor had announced to his cabinet that he had decided to surrender, and had recorded a message to be played the next day to the Japanese people), a group of Army officers in the Imperial Palace and in Tokyo tried to assassinate the pro-surrender group in the government and kidnap the Emperor, to prevent his message from being made public, so that the war could continue.

Answer 8
