What does the history of the atomic bomb show to us?Under the bombs: 19451. What was the possible reason that American dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945? Under the bombs: 1945American administrations stated that it was military necessity to drop the bomb to end the war with Japan. The only alternative was an invasion in which many US troops would have been killed, and much more Japanese civilians would have lost their lives if the Japanese government hadnt agreed to surrender even at the cost of so many lives.2. What impact did the atomic attack have on Japanese civilians?Humanities The atomic bomb shattered the normal fabric of community life and disrupted the organizations for handling the disaster, with 30 percent of the population killed and the additional 30 percent seriously injured. The bulk of the population found refuge in the surrounding countryside. Within the city, the food supply was short and shelter was virtually nonexistent.Under the bombs: 19453. What does the history of the atomic bomb show to us?Humanities The idea of using nuclear weapons in an attempt to exercise global control is already bankrupt.It is morally bankrupt because it led to the sacrifice of the city contrary to the international law despite the fact that there was military necessityin pursuit of Americas quest to be the global leader.It is practically bankrupt because the actual result was an out-of-control nuclear arms race and secondly, a significant contribution to the Cold War and to the hot wars of Korea and Vietnam.Under the bombs: 1945 Text StudySection AThe war is clearly fixed in my mind :I notice_.I hear _ in the clear brilliant sky.12 distant silver points moving across the sky unfamiliar abnormal humWhat is the beginning of the war look like in the authors memory ?
