      But it didn't end the war. What guerilla war?? The Japanese were already negotiating surrender before the bombs were dropped with the Russians as intermediaries. The only obstacle to surrender was the refusal of the USA to accept conditional surrender, the Japanese condition being to keep the emperor system intact.

    That last statement made at the end is probably one of the most frightening things about all of this. After dealing the killing blow to a whole city the thing that runs through a hardened soldier's mind is 'good riddance, less people to have to kill later'

    That is a brilliant story about the girl who was a tram driver. When we look at the Hiroshima bombing from a distance, it seems impossible that everyone would not understand it as we do. But when people are caught in the middle of an historical event, they understand it from where they stand. And at 16, a girl who was worried about the huge responsibility she carried and afeared she might do something wrong, interpreted the world from this perspective. After the bomb exploded, she thought she had caused some electrical fault in her tram and the destruction was all her fault. A brilliant story that deserves more exposure

      Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki had a large population of Christians due to English and German missionaries who established churches there in the mid-1800's. Many of the middle class children attended their bilingual schools, and many went on to study in American and European universities before the war. There is a cathedral in the Peace Park that was raised after the war by surviving missionaries and their congregations.

      The idea of WWI being the war to end all wars. That naïve way of thinking. Was the reason Germany and Japan were able to do as much as they did. In such a short time. After 6+million dying in the actual fighting in WWI. Nobody thought it would ever happen again. So they were not prepared for a world war to happen again. Even America, with how we had the ships birthed at Pearl Harbor. It wasn't that we believed we would never be attacked. We never thought there would be another world war. Same with the US in the Philippines. The Japanese were able to take it so fast. Was because we believed there would never be another world war. They only have WWI weapons there, and well as only 2 weapons for every 3 men. Ammunition was all from WWI. The government was like the rest of the world. Naïve enough to believe it would never happen again. So they didn't need to have the weapons needed to actually defend the Philippines. Poland, Austria, France. All were un prepared. Because they believed WWI would end all wars. So they didn't have the military's to actually defend themselves. Poland is actually a better example than America. They so believed there would never be another war, let alone another world war. They didn't really have any real military or airforce to fight back. What they had was really nothing. They didn't have a mechanized army, let alone any tanks. They used what they had it was suicidal, and extremely brave at the same time. All they had to fight the German invasion? Was their cavalry. Men on horses charged the German tanks and invading forces. That's how un prepared the world was.

      Was it right or wrong? Sadly in a war such as that those things get lost. How long would Japan have held out without using the bomb? A few more months or a week hard to say. The longer the war waged the more influence the USSR would gain in Asia. A prolonged war would have likely lead to all of Korea in the hands of the mad Kim Dynasty and maybe even a soviet occupation of part of Japan leading to a split of Japan during the cold war. I fear that world would be a far darker one to be in for Japan and the world.
      The idea of nuclear weapons is horrible but without them we would have fought another world war or two by now with tens or hundreds of millions dying in those. Humanity is still in its irrational childhood in terms of growth on the galactic scale of time. Having the Sword of Damocles hang over our heads has helped make the time post WWII relatively peaceful compared to the ages past for humanity. I just pray the sword never has to drop to teach humanity as lesson in humility.

    I recommend that anyone watching this try and get to the memorial park at ground zero in Hiroshima. Amazingly the “bomb” dome still stands, a structure that was damaged but survived surprisingly intact despite being only tens of metres from the epicentre of the blast.
    They also have a museum dedicated to the victims, including written accounts from people who survived the blast, but then went back to help others, and instead were exposed to lethal doses of radiation.
    There are an array of booths which contain paper cranes. A young Japanese girl, with cancer caused by the bomb, had the aim of making 1000 origami cranes (the crane is the symbol of peace in Japan). Sadly she did not live to finish her goal. However, school children from across the world who had heard her story, made and sent these cranes so there are now many glass booths filled with them.
    In the same area you will find clocks which relay the time since the last time a nuclear weapon was used in wartime, and the time since the last nuclear test. Here there is also a flame which is constantly alight, and will be extinguished only when the last nuclear weapon is destroyed.
    It is a truly somber place, yet Hiroshima is so vibrant and lively, with the famous Floating Torii and temples nearby. Even some of the old buildings in Hiroshima were reconstructed. It is hard to believe what happened there!

    It said during tragic events the best compassion is the human spirit to help a person in need. The bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were tragic but if the bomb wasn't deployed WW2 would have continued into 1946 with the loss of thousands of allied soldiers, along with millions of Japanese civilians. My father in law was a USN Vet on a Essex Class Carrier in the Pacific and made home alive. His two brothers were POWs captured in the Philippines in 1942, and were found alive in a POW camp in Manchuria. If it wasn't for the bombings things would have been different for our family.

    A lot of people back then, and today. Say that America should have given a demonstration of the bomb. To the Japanese Emperor and generals, before actually using them. Let them see how powerful the weapon was. The key word there is "them". Besides it not being possible, because at the time we only had 3 of them. Yeah, the 3rd one was in transit to Tinian Island. It still took dropping 2 nuclear bombs to make them surrender. If an example would have worked, as people claim. Hiroshima should have been that example. But it wasn't. We still had to drop the second one.

      How many more American lives would you have sacrificed to prolong the war by not dropping the bomb? You can be very specific with the exact number.
      While you're thinking I'll remind you of the 98 American civilian contractors captured when the Japanese took Wake Island. The Japanese tortured/interrogated them before marching them blindfolded in front of a ditch and mowed them down with a machine gun. One man escaped but was later recaptured and personally beheaded by the Japanese commander. Airmen captured at sea were tortured/interrogated then bound hand and foot before being pushed into the ocean. In all the Japanese killed 30,000 prisoners of war with torture and starvation. If a POW failed to bow to a Japanese soldier they were hung from their wrists and had all of their bones broken with rifle butts. Oh, and that doesn't even scratch the surface of the atrocities committed by the Japanese. As for surrender, well, the Japanese military attempted a coup to prevent surrender even AFTER we dropped the bomb.

      Taiwanese are the most forgiving because they have been enslaved and brainwashed by Japanese Imperialism. They were the ones who donated the most to the 2011 Tsunami fund and sent prayers to you. However, a Japanese right-wing demon went to Taiwan to insult the Taiwanese by kicking the statue of a Taiwanese comfort woman. When a Japanese committed a crime overseas, the Japan government and the Japanese will feel shameful and guilty and apologise as a nation. However, in this case, the Japanese government did not apologise and the Japanese people did not condemn his act. Taiwanese have no backbone. They still think that they are Japanese Imperial citizens but the Japanese perceive their status lower than a Japanese dog.

    This is a sobering reminder that warns us about our own self destructive tendencies. What separates us from animals isn't just intelligence or sense of morality; but also our ability to use our intelligence to go against and destroy morality.
