THE BOMBING OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI Elizabeth Breedveld August 23, 2015 EDU 225 Brian Clark

August 6, 1945 August 9, 1945 The day that America proved its nuclear strength to the world by bombing Hiroshima, Japan America bombs Nagasaki, Japan

Build of the Atomic Bomb

Nuclear Testing Manhattan ProjectDeveloped in 1942 after growing fear that Nazi Regime was getting ahead in its Nuclear Development Placed under military control and lasted an unprecedented 3 years Though created by President Roosevelt was passed on to Truman in 1945 (Kraft, A., 2009)

Why Japan? Originally the bomb was planned and designed for use on the German front of WWII. However, the bomb was not ready on time When it was finally finished, the war in the Pacific had escalated to a point that civilian casualties had become commonplace (Rothenburg, M., 1996) Truman chose to drop the bomb in order to save many more lives from being lost from what seemed like an all out war with no end in sight.

Immediate Effects The blast from both Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed over 100,000 people altogether leaving just as many to die later from radiation poisoning and other injuries

How the World Changed in the Aftermath After the second bomb on Nagasaki, WWII ended with the surrender of Japan to the American Military There was much deliberation as to what the atomic bomb meant to the changing art of war. It was compared to the "discoveries of the Copernican theory and the laws of gravity." (Bernstein, B. J., 1995)

Nuclear Testing Today Nuclear testing today is almost non- existent and is widely frowned upon by most First World Countries and super powers
