When the first bomb dropped The emperor showed no signs of surrender. When the second did drop the emperor finally there and then decided to surrender. Besides with two cities destroyed the cost it would take to rebuild it and treat the citizen for injury's or radiation would have taken a Gargantuan amount of money which would not be able to supply the troops. The attack also targeted their economy.
As much as I hate nuclear weapons, and everything that has to do with nuclear energy, the bombs are the reason that we exist. The bombings set off a chain of events that lead to our births. The chain started with our grandfathers not going to Japan to participate in Operation Downfall. Without the bombs, the war would have lsted longer, and eventually, Russia would have stepped in. Japan would be divided into 2 nations. North (Communist), and South (Not communist).
I agree with "peacefulenfilade". This is a video of a museum to remember the dead people in hiroshima. It should remind us: "Never do such a thing again!" You're talking about who is to blame for this disaster. There is only one correct answer: THE WAR! Good and bad dosn't exist in war!
More than 30 millions Mainland Chinese and 300,000 Chinese in Malaya and Singapore lost their lives in the atrocities caused by Japanese Imperial Army. These victims reserve memorial museums paid by Japanese people to remind future generations that war is terrible and also to memorize second world war victims.
One must look at two sides, if you want to cry, cry at Pearl Harbor, although no man should ever endure the most horrid of disasters we unleashed on Hiroshima. The only justification i have, is that we did warn Japan.
I saw this museum and I left almost sobbing. It was really heartbreaking. No matter what the Japanese army did, these women and children and elderly (who made of most of those killed) didn't deserve it all. Some of the stories were just horrible.
I have been to this museum before.. Very chilling.
If you want to trip Hiroshima, please don't forget to visit the Bomb Memorial, there is a nice place.
