Hiroshima and Nagasaki The use of atomic bombs in WWII

Japan’s hold on Asia

Warning to Japan Potsdam Conference- July 1945 Allies warn Japan to surrender or face “complete and utter devastation”

Decision to bomb Japan Truman made the difficult decision to use the just-tested bomb. He argued it would end the war, and in the long run save more lives than continuing the war.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Hiroshima: Aug. 6, 1945 U.S. pilot Paul Tibbets, flying the Enola Gay, drops an atomic bomb (“Little Boy”) over Hiroshima.

Hiroshima 70,000 civilians died instantly. Thousands more later from burns, radiation, and other disease.

Hiroshima

Nagasaki Two days later, August 8, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. Japan had yet to surrender (but was considering it); Truman decides to drop a second bomb (nickname: “Fat Man”) on Nagasaki on August 9. 40,000 people killed instantly, and thousands more later from radiation and burns.
