Essay Topic : Was the United States rational when it came to the use of the atomic bomb in Japan?​

Answer 1

It's not exactly an essay, but it does have some helpful information.

HIROSHIMA:

• 1st bomb

• Called little boy

• Wanted to end the war quicker.

• 68,000 killed

• 21,000 injured Hiroshima

• became known for cancers, premature births and malformed babies. Bad effects on the environment Heavy scars on survivors

NAGASAKI

• 2nd bomb

• Called fat man

• 3 days after bombing Hiroshima

• Wasn’t actually supposed to be bombed
• 38,100 killed
• 21,000 injured
• Nagasaki survivors had cancer, premature birth, and malformed babies.
• A lot of radiation
• Heavy scars on survivors

I would have not dropped the atomic bomb because it is immoral and not in any way humane. I think this because many Japanese had serious scarring and injuries. It also ruined the environment and killed innocent bystanders that had nothing to do with the war. It was selfish of America to bomb a place just to end a war quicker.

America did it to end the war quickly and did not want any more deaths on the American side.
