The atomic bomb in Hiroshima
Introduction
The following work has as the main objective to judge and analyze the sequels left by this war attack in Japan, so the reference question is to what extent the fall of the atomic bomb the people of Hiroshima, launched at the end of 1945? In this way, the consequences of the fall of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima will be announced, for which secondary sources such as: a book and article published on a reliable website will be used. In the first document, information will be obtained on how the people who survived this attack had to face hunger, unknown diseases and more, while in the second source I found specific statistical data of the human and economic losses that occurred in this attack, althoughThey are different sources we conclude that this event caused instability both in the social and economic aspect for Hiroshima.
It is a source obtained from the black rain novel, written by Masuji Ibuse. This is a work that shows the sadness of a town immersed in darkness is also a newspaper that shows all the hardships suffered by people in Japan in 1956, because of radiation disease.
Developing
The purpose of the source is to publicize the fall of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima also as affected in the economic and social aspects, giving rise to a number of consequences that the Japanese people still remember. The source has great value, since it narrates the events in a true and chronological way of how the fall of the atomic bomb happened and as all the inhabitants of that town suffered after the bombing caused by the US forces, so it can be saidthat this article has no limitation since this literary work presents the deepest feelings that a human being can have when he witnesses such a fatal event and much worse if they lived in their own flesh.
It is a secondary source obtained from a website: World War II. Presents the most relevant events of the before and after World War II. The purpose of this source is to inform about the causes of this bloody war, which I almost fully devastate the people of Hiroshima, also statistically show us the number of victims, thus giving rise to the consequences of this heartbreaking genocide.
This source has great value since it narrates in detail the causes that gave rise to this tragic event, however, this article has a limitation since it is not reflected the feelings of those people who were victims at that moment.
The Manhattan project was a key point to give rise to a lethal weapon known as atomic bomb, this occurred in the most thorough secret, it also had the participation of notable scientists of the time. Franklin d. Roosevelt President of the United States was the one who authorized in 1941, that this project was developed, but Albert Einstein gave rise to it, since he sent a letter alerting him that possibly the Germans could use new energy techniques released by nuclear fission to give rise To an atomic bomb, this gave way to a run to make the bomb before the Nazis, since it was an ultra -secret project of the United States and there was no room for any error, so the president was going to Gather the best physicists and mathematicians of that time as: Robert Oppenheimer specialized in theoretical physics who in addition to being the creator was the director of this project, but to successfully carry out this entire project the United States had the collaboration of the United Kingdom and Canada, Although no one knew what the end of this bomb was, on the other hand to create said pump, 2 billion dollars were needed as an investment, everything is Project took a period of 2 years, 3 months and 16 days and once the bomb is ready and to see the first tests Truman President of the United States at that time gives the order that on August 6, 1945 Little Boysea launched into the People of Hiroshima.
In itself, the attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been the events that have most marked the history of Japan, all this event brought with them human and economic losses, thus having a total of 246,000 people killed by the different ravages left by the bomb To these two Japanese peoples.
For the launch of the bomb, the spiritual capital of Japan was proposed, in this case the city of Kyoto, however, it was ruled out, since Henry Stiment, the Secretary of Defense, kept great memories of his honeymoon there. In May 1945, a meeting was held to discuss whether it was better to attack military with atomic bombs, but it was concluded that it would not be feasible, since the desired results could not be given, then it was decided to use the new weapons inThe cities, a proposal was to launch the bomb in a Japanese city to observe how much this armament can destroy, in this case the spiritual capital of Japan was thought in the city of Kyoto, but in the end it was discarded and this is how the bomb ended up fallingIn Hiroshima, three days after this attack Nagasaki was the victim, although the city chosen as the main objective was Kokura and Nagasaki as secondary but that day in Kokura there was no good climate, instead in Nagasaki was the sky totally clear about whatwhich was ideal for launch, in 1950 it was valued that the number of victims were 200 thousand people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki exceeded 140 thousand people.
To end two days after the attack on Japan, the USSR declares war and invades with huge troops, but the Japanese army was totally destroyed by the nuclear attack and the emperor of Japan decides on August 15.
Causes
On several occasions President Truman doubted that attack, but the United States could not have a bleeding as was the battle of Okinawa in May-Julio of 1945. According to stories they express that it was not easy for the Americans to decide to launch the bomb in Hiroshima, the president of that time Truman I doubt on many occasions, however, at that time no other bleeding could be allowed as the battle of Okinawa and many other experiencesThat they affected him too much, another of the reasons was that the rivalry with the Soviet Union was increasing, but the United States was warned about Stalin and the USSR, since this could become a danger in the future, some time laterTruman realized Stalin’s play since the USSR conquered territories at the expense of the Japanese and if Japan was defeated, he could no longer conquer and would have less influence in the East, so when he launched the bomb this plan would accelerate this plan. Colonel Paul Tibbets on August 5, 1945 Pinto under the B-29 enola gay cab, they only received the order to launch a new bomb of a high explosive, without further details, the day before, at midnight thecrew received the latest instructions for the attack.

Impact
The consequences in Hiroshima were countless, but the most significant was that it began at the atomic age. The Japanese realized everything that happened until after 24 hours, leaving buildings in ashes and causing fires in different neighborhoods of the city to know everything that happened tokio sent two experts to deduce everything, at the time they arrived they realizedThat it was an atomic bomb, so that Emperor Hiro-Hito began to lookJapanese army with almost 90,000 dead and on August 9 to Nagasaki that left 70,000 people dead.

Jacques Pirenne, Universal History. Atomic bombs cause the capitulation of Japan, success. At that time I leave 140 379 people dead to Hiroshima, some time later the radiation disease was presented and made the figure ascend to 180,000 dead and 39 385 injured.
The scars remain open in Hiroshima 70 years after the nuclear attack
70 years ago in the B-29 hours prior to the launch of the bomb on Hiroshima there were two rival drivers who did not talk, this was a conflict between the pilots Paul Tibbets and Robert Lewis.
This artifact opened the nuclear era, being the deadliest in history, this bomb that swepts with Hiroshima, left the Americans with great regret, so that over time both the United States and Japan, I bet on the peaceful power ofNuclear energy, until Fukushima in 2011, which left many damages and this was one of the events that made doubts and the debate about the Little Boy or also known as a cucumber of 4.4 tons launched in Hiroshimayears that even decades of this event continued to kill more people because of radiation disease.
conclusion
In conclusion, as in all events there were problems that have often caused great plans to fail, but this time the one that paid the broken dishes was Hiroshima upon receiving such an attack.
At the end of the investigation I could understand that historians have different point of view about the fall of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima also at the time I had to select the different sources, since in some they expressed what the Japanese people felt while inOthers did not reflect it, but if he made known the causes so that this devastating event is of origin, which makes it difficult to have a global vision of this issue and thus have a better appreciation close to reality, it also made it difficult to chooseThe appropriate sources. At the time of looking for sources I could understand the hard work that historians have to be impartial but I also found personal opinions such as: it was not necessary to launch the bomb because they were already defeated.
When investigating my subject I found countless sources that explained to what extent did the fall of the atomic bomb to the Japanese people, launched at the end of 1945?, But I also found secondary sources without author and dates, so these sources were discarded for not being confident. In my work I have used secondary sources such as: books and sites and web to find data that is closest to how the facts were raised, data that make my research more reliable. I could also measure the impact caused by the fall of the atomic bomb reflected in people.
When using the secondary sources I could appreciate the point of view of Masuji Ibuse from the book where he related the hard moments that passed because the author also passed through all this, since he was a member of the Armed Forces, so he lived all this in his own fleshAnd web pages showed different opinions of the subject, but all authors agreed that launching the bomb was unnecessary, all publications are in accordance with the research, where historical materialism was applied.
Finally, I understood that this fact had a lot of impact on the development of Japanese life, since they were affected by this terrible event. In addition, it was vital worldwide, since it is World War II, which was the indication for more countries to use the atomic bomb for destructive purposes and thus have absolute control of whole countries and nations.
