How the atomic bomb the life of people in Hiroshima affected
The bombing that occurred in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks ordered by President Harry. S. Truman who assumed his presidency after the death of Franklin Roosevelt, against the Empire of Japan.
Background
As a history, we have the invasion of the Japanese to Pearl Harbor in the United States, an event that turned to El Camino from World War II, which I leave as ravages deaths and sinking of US ships for the surprise attack of the Japanese to the naval basefrom USA.UU., With the objective of canceling the Naval Force of the United States Pacific.
The United States was in isolationism, for not having made Congress help the Spanish Republic, thus putting no American fight abroad. In this way the White House tried to stop the Japanese through sanctions, however, Tokyo’s response was not adequate, bearing in mind that the United States would be won as an enemy, however, Japan and the United States negotiated a possible agreementthat ended the tension and commercial blockade.
This agreement was broken by a series of diplomatic confusion, because in the agreement he led Japan to withdraw from Indochina, something that the Chinese nationalist leader was not willing to tolerate, thus giving way to the surprise attack.
It consisted of sending direct aircrafts to Pearl Harbor including the Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū, Hiryū, Shōkaku and Zuikaku carriers that transported more than 400 airplanes with their destination to the naval base of the United States Pacific, this event took place in 11 daysin secret.
The surprise factor was a success, it worked perfectly. Zero hunting had the mission of ending airfields to prevent a defense and attack by the Americans
Japan’s encrypted message was discovered by the United States, thus giving way to President Roosevelt and General George Marshall, head of the General Staff, warns Pearl Harbor of the situation, however, this message was not able to arrive on time, whenIt was only waiting for the tragedy that was coming.
At 7:55 the first explosive attack began, in Pearl Harbor, the leader of the first wave notice to the attack of the attack that Pearl Harbor had no defense, the first ship to sink was the USS Arizona after impacting a bomb against the ship achievingthus leave it in two and charge the life of more than 1.700 people, from Apoco the ships were falling in a few minutes a chaos, not the entire attack was aerial, it was also maritime with launching minis that manage to sink the destroyers Helm and Monaghan after wanting to flee.
However, Helm manages to capture one of the occupants by the Japanese submarine, thus having the first war prisoner captured by the United States in World War II. The second wave was also aimedMINUTES Japan retires from Pearl Harbor.
After all that President Franklin D Roosevelt decides to address Congress to declare war against Japan having more affirmative votes than negative to this statement, that is when Roosevelt announces war against Japan.
Having in response to the United States;Atomic bombardment to the cities of Nagasaki and HiroshimAugust 8 and 9 by Japan.
Bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
As Father Arrupe recalls: “But what is the atomic bomb? At that time, the name of this event was known, because no one knew that it was or that causes would bring to their health, wreaking havoc in Hiroshima, deaths of high numbers, deformations, burns if there is fire.
On August 6 in Hiroshima it was a day that did not forget, day that thousands of innocent souls left, was the beginning of the first atomic attack, before starting the second in Nagasaki on August 9 of the same year.
All this happened after Japan does not give way to the unconditional surrender that the United States asked for walking to the well -known Potsdam ultimatum giving way to threats with destruction, if Japan did not give up. Japan rejected President Truman’s ultimatum.
Seconds after rejection on August 6, the United States dropped a bomb called Litte Boy, 60 kilos uranium pump, 3 meters long, 75 centimeters in diameter and a destructive potential of 16 kilotons, the first explosion of theHistory by a bomb. This bomb exploded 600 meters after Hiroshima, near the city center, ending the life of more than 140.000 innocent people, dying instantaneously without prior notice, burned or disintegrated by the clear high temperature close to 50.000 degrees.
On August 9, three days after having launched the first bomb towards Hiroshima, the United States launched the second against Nagasaki baptized as “fast man” not as strong as his sister Little Boy, but also wreaking havoc in the city of Nagasaki in thisPlutonium case. Detoned at an altitude of 550 meters above the city, the device of 3.25 meters long by 1.52 in diameter, weighed 4.630 kilograms and had a power of 25 kilotons, achieving the death and suffering of thousands and thousands of people.
President Truman said: "We use it to shorten the agony of war, to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans’ said after 3 days of having launched the second atomic bomb, referring to Japan had to threatenthe consequences. To which, in order not to have more consequences, Japan decided to surrender unconditionally to the United States five days after what happened.
To date is the bombing that most impact on the history of Japan, where thousands of people died between the two cities, it should be emphasized that not everyone died on the day of the bombing, other people suffered the consequences that the chemist brought bringing diseases and burns thatThey began to acquire after the chemist of the bomb exposed between the cities, as the bombs threw radiation around the whole causing incurable diseases, deformations in babies, in children, in adults that to date are the tests of the cause in theBody and in their DNA, in their personal and daily life it was clearly of pure sufferings and shame that people see them in critical condition for their appearances.
This bombing was the end of thousands of people and the end of World War II causing in Japan the total surrender that had long been requested by the United States. Those affected by the bomb in Hiroshima are known as Hibakusha that means people affected by explosions. Currently the children of the Hibakushas suffer from cancer at the age of between 50-60 years.
Other consequences to be emphasized are lung cancer, liver cancer and stomach cancer. The death of survivors was due, together, colon cancer, lymphatic system, biliary or pancreas vesicle.
conclusion
There are arguments for and against the use of atomic bombs, there are support not to use atomic bombs, because attacks are not necessary, the United States should give more time for their negotiations to bear fruit. The factors in favor are that the use of the atomic bomb was the one that ended World War II, but at the expense of thousands of deaths.
