During World War II on 6 August, 1945, United State dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima in Japan by an American B-29 bomber. Do you know the explosion of the bomb wiped out around 90% of the city and around 80,000 people were killed instantly, around 35,000 people were injured not only this year afterwards people suffered for horrible burns and radiation sickness?
After three days another atomic bomb was dropped in Nagasaki, Japan. As a result Emperor of Japan Hirohito announced unconditional surrender in World War II in a radio on 15 August by informing the devastating power of a new and most cruel bomb.
The nuclear bomb that was dropped in Hiroshima city of Japan was named as "Little Boy". What is the story behind it? The first target selected by the American forces to throw bomb was a manufacturing center of about 350,000 people located about 500 miles from Tokyo. On the pacific island of Tinian, after arriving at the U.S base the 9000-pound Uranium-235 bomb was loaded aboard a modified B-29 bomber named as “Enola Gay”. The plane dropped the bomb known as "Little Boy" at 8:15 am Japanese time and it was exploded approx. 2000 feet above the Hiroshima in a blast equal to 12-15,000 tons of TNT and destroyed five square miles of the city.
What is the reason of U.S behind dropping the bomb?
As we know that during Second World War Japan was against America and its allies including Britain and Soviet Union. The allies were winning the war and Japan was pushed back from several locations. Fighting during war was very horrible. Several soldiers were dying every day. Japan had been at war for so many years. And as a result countries near to it like China and Japan together had attacked America. Everywhere there were soldiers of Japanese troops and were very cruel. They were so cruel that the soldiers of Britishers and Americans who had surrendered were treated very badly by Japanese soldiers. The president of US Harry S Truman wanted to surrender Japanese soldiers as quickly as possible so that he could save lives. So, he threw nuclear bomb with a view that Japanese while seeing the destruction will surrender. US wanted to avoid the invasion of Japan via land. As, it could take around 250,000 US soldiers lives because 2.5 million Japanese troops were stationed. According to some historians US also wanted to avoid Japan being occupied by Soviet Union. And so, America dropped nuclear bomb in Hiroshima, Japan.
