During World war Two, On August 6 and 9, 1945, the US dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. People were surprised about the injuries of the two cities but the decision was right.
If atomic bombs were not dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, victims of the Japanese army would have been increased. During the war Japan had a powerful army and captured Asia. The army tortured other countries’ armies, made cruel tests to “Maruta” who were Korean, Chinese or other countries’ victims, raped, pillaged, massacred an infinite number of other Asian peoples and committed lots of war crimes. For example, the Rape of Nanjing where the capital of China was during Sino-Japanese war, the Japanese army occupied the capital and in 6 weeks killed around 250,000 to 400,000 Chinese. The victims were more than two atomic bombs’ dead people.
The Japan government was not capitulating to the Allies even after Hiroshima was attacked by an atomic bomb. If they still wanted to fight and had not dropped atomic bombs, there would have been more dead or injured peoples and damages because the Soviet Union also wanted to participate in the battle. Japan would be socialist, poor and Korea also would not have independence.
A result of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the world knew the danger of nuclear bombs. 140,000 people in Hiroshima directly died and after five years, another 60,000 people would die of effect of the bomb, in Nagasaki a total of 140,000 died within five years.
“The population of Hiroshima had reached a peak of over 380,000 earlier in the war but prior to the atomic bombing the population had steadily decreased because of a systematic evacuation ordered by the Japanese government. At the time of the attack the population was approximately 255,000. This figure is based on the registered population, used by the Japanese in computing ration quantities, and the estimates of additional workers and troops who were brought into the city may be highly accurate.” [FONT=宋]③[/FONT]
After the attack in Hiroshima’s trace:
“Hiroshima was burnt to Ashes; the building was the former Hiroshima prefecture Industrial promotion Hall, Where special products of Hiroshima were exhibited and various gatherings were held until the A-bomb was dropped. Since it was located just under the center, blast pressure was vertically exerted on the building and only the dome-shaped framework and part of the outer wall remained. It has come to be called “the A-bomb dome”” [FONT=宋]②[/FONT]
The population of Nagasaki:
“Another report issues a different residential number, speaking of Nagasaki’s population which dropped in one split-second from 422,000 to 383,000 thus 39,000 were killed and over 25,000 were injured.” [FONT=宋]③[/FONT]
After the attack on Nagasaki’s trace:
“‘A Japanese report on the bombing characterized Nagasaki as “like a graveyard with not tombstone standing.”” [FONT=宋]①[/FONT]
Now some Japanese have not admitted their fault and have taught students like they were victims of World War Two, But they started the war, killed around 5,000,000 Korean and Chinese, did merciless war crimes and they closed their eyes to the real situation and wanted to fight. The US, dropped the atomic bombs on Japanese cities, it was the right decision for Japanese citizens and other nations.
