The Effects of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

My late wife was born (Aug. '47) in Nagasaki. Her family survived the Atomic bomb because they lived on the side of a hill opposite to the epic center of the blast. The other side of the hill was destroyed. I've been to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I've seen the relics of the blast and visited both museums dedicated to the bombing. It is a very sobering experience being an American in these cities. Everyone I talked to in Japan who were old enough to have been around during the war agreed that as terrible as the bombs were, they saved many, many thousands maybe millions of lives (on both sides) had the US invaded Japan.

My Grandmother got skin cancer and my Grandfather died of cancer a year after the tests near Las Vegas Nevada. My mom was barely conceived during that time.

◆◆◆ Has the US Apologized For WW2 Atrocities?? ◆◆◆ People in the world don't know the enormous atrocities against Japan by the Allies ❢❢❢ Between 1944 and 1945, Allied forces massacred more than one million Japanese civilians with indiscriminate bombing, a clear violation of the laws of war. For example, the Great Tokyo Air Raid on March 10, 1945 killed more than 100,000 civilians and injured more than one million in a single day. In the same month, the cities of Osaka, Nagoya, and Kobe were hit by similar heavy air raids. From April to August 1945, thousands of civilians were also killed in violent airstrikes in Fukushima, Kanagawa, Hiroshima, Yokohama, Ibaraki, Kagoshima, Hamamatsu, Fukuoka, Shizuoka, Kure, Nagasaki, Okayama, Kumamoto, Takamatsu, Tokushima, Chiba, Kofu, Wakayama, Sendai, Utsunomiya, Iwate, Hokkaido, Chiba, Aomori, Niigata, Toyama and other local cities. Finally, atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, incinerating and blowing away hundreds of thousands of people in an instant. Hundreds of thousands of people who went to the rescue in Hiroshima and Nagasaki also died a few months after being exposed to radiation. Still other survivors also died of cancer and leukemia years later. Even in the midst of these atomic bombings, thousands of Japanese civilians died in heavy U.S. airstrikes in Aichi, Fukuoka, Iwate, Yamaguchi, Saitama, Gunma, and Akita.

You're correct but the horrifying reality of such a war is that the bombings more than likely saved Japanese lives. I'm in no way advocating the bombings they were a horrific thing to have happened and hopefully the darkest moment in human history.

[@aden0912]

Just as the American people have no say over our country going to war, the Japanese civilians had no say on what their government was doing. No matter what country does it, targeting civilians is wrong, and no war propaganda can change that. Americans were outraged at the events that happened on 9/11 as they should be. This attack killed way more civilians, and in no way can be justified. The attack could have been carried out on just the military installments and not on the civilians.

[@aden0912]

@ the Japanese did have a chance, and they attacked only pearl harbor (a military base) they were fighting in China, but China was a communist country. When other countries attack communist regimes, they are portrayed as heroes. The war between Japan and China was not our business. I do agree we should have fought the Japanese for attacking pearl harbor, but civilians should not have been targeted. Saying that millions of lives were saved is pure speculation. There is no way to know how things would have turned out if the bombs hadn't been dropped. Furthermore saying we saved millions of lives by killing millions of civilians is not a great argument.

[@lilkitty_outcastlove4913]

Billy Mays, Your right a 100%.... okay now go look up U.S. military rapes “battle of Okinawa”... also did you know after the bombing of Pearl Harbor we made camps and forced American Asians out of their homes and made them live their as a “ safety precaution” oh yeah and some of them were shot & killed their by the country they thought was meant to give them a better life (some were even born in America) 🤷🏽‍♀️.

My father was at Nagasaki.

All of Japan would have looked like Dresden, Berlin, etal. Ruins filled with dead. ALL of Japan's culture would have been wiped from the Earth. A blockade would have been just the thing to incite all the japanese to remain until they died, NEVER surrendering until the very end.

Reply to Marmaladekamikaze: Yes, it would’ve been. But that does not mean it was a good thing either. People still try to justify these bombings. We get it, we understand why the Japanese needed to be forced to surrender. The reason as to why I am shocked as to why you’re saying these things in this video, is because it is the classic definition of a ‘dickmove’. Do you know the reason as to why the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor? The answer is not as simple as one would like to believe. They attacked because the U.S were supplying the Chinese with weaponry. They saw this as a reason to attack and as such they did. It was, in their perspective, a ‘necessary act to win the war’. Even the general who oversaw the attack didn’t completely agree with it, but he did it anyway because it was a necessary part of war to him. Before you get angry at me and say that i shouldn’t say that it was necessary, let me ask you a question. Aren’t you doing the exact thing that I am doing? I know that saying such things are very upsetting to the surviving families of the victims of the attack, but aren’t you saying the exact same thing I am, in order to make the U.S look good by justifying it’s past evils? The families of the victims of Pearl Harbor would be angry with me, I understand that and completely accept that I shouldn’t say such things, but yet you are here, talking about bombings that killed 200 times more people than those who died in Pearl Harbor, and you say that it was necessary? If I walked up to a survivor of Pearl Harbor and said that all the suffering, pain and trauma they went through was necessary, they would get mad, curse me to the core or probably even try to beat me up. The same thing would happen to you if you said what you just said whilst in front of a Hiroshima survivor.

[@like7oranges]

These bombs were only drooped 70 years ago in the middle of the city on hundreds of thousands innocent people with intention to kill as many as possible. People are still alive who remember it or were even effected by cancer or birth defects. If they wanted to disarm a military target they would have used an air raid. Imagine if Japan dropped a nuke on Chicago, New York or San Fransisco? The US would have used every bullet and bomb to destroy all of Japan, never mind quietly surrender/get over it.

[@like7oranges]

avicihk and so has every other country at some point. it does not justify dropping a nuclear bomb on hundreds and thousands of innocent civilians. people don't choose their county. two wrongs dont equal a right

[@avicihk]

what makes dropping a nuclear bomb different from torturing and killing innocent people in South East Asia then? The visual impact of a nuclear bomb is big, but it killed far less innocent people than the Japanese did in China, Korea and other place. Why aren't you condemning the killing of people in those countries when you are criticising the nuclear bombs? The nuclear bomb and the atrocities the Japanese committed are linked whether you like it or not.

[@VariantAEC]

+avicihk But there is a difference. It takes a very special someone to rally an entire nation into performing impossible acts of aggression. If takes one person to use a nuclear weapon. As a nation The United States of America have fought long and hard to rid the planet of nuclear weapons and the powerplants that make them possible. America has failed in eliminating the nuke. We ended the battles in Japan and "won" WWII because of the bomb, but we created a new war that will never end. Wars based on knowledge and powerful weapons that don't require leadership and clever politics to build or use. Knowing that I'm sure you can agree that we messed up pretty badly. That said America did actually help free Japan too. Many American soldiers who fought during WWII insist we couldn't have succeeded without the bomb. History insists that the Japanese Naval and Air Forces were far more competent than our own. WWII was the end of America's military supremacy. Since then we have lost quite a few wars and sparked new ones (recently; ISIS) with no knowledge of their size, influence or intention.

[@HLGFiberOptics]

Was the rape of Nanjing a crime against humanity? Was starting a war against America justifiable. Were the war crimes that became part of the Japanese normal behavior OK in your eyes. There is a huge argument that using these atomic weapons was the best way to enter the atomic age. It was inevitable that someone would soon make such weapons - all physicists around the planet knew the science. At first the statement was made not to mess with America. When the Russians and Chinese got the weapons the message was we don't want to wipe out each other. Now the message is keep these weapons out of the hands of irresponsible groups. IF they had not been used it is very probable that Russia or China would have started a nuclear sometime in the pas 60 years. Using the nukes on Japan certainly made using nukes something that should not be done. Without that knowledge they would have been used somewhere else already.

First thing: I read that many reliable people confir(med) that Japan had already surrendered. The nukes weren't needed to force Japan to surrender. Second thing: if USA wanted to show their power, or a "good way to enter atomic age" they could have thrown the nuke where there were no people: they could have proven it's destructive power without such cruelty. Third thing: they say they nuked Hiroshima because that's the way they eliminated 20.000 soldiers. Then why nuke Nagasaki, after that?

Put as simply as possible... the bombing of Japanese civilians was an unnecessary war crime and the Atomic Bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were actually the first salvos of the Cold War. Japan was done and looking for a way to surrender without sacrificing their Emperor. They had no fuel for their conventional airforce and any army that came out to fight without aircover would not have lasted a month against the US Army. There was never going to be high allied casualties, it would have been a massacre. All these stories about hundreds of thousands of casualties are poorly manufactured excuses for some really vicious war crimes against women and children. Yet Truman and Stimpson thought it necessary to warn the Soviets, who finished the war with at least a 3 to 1 troop advantage over the combined Allied forces! Even Gen. Groves who developed the bombs said they were for the Soviets... not the Japanese. Adm. King said the Japanese were done and that the Atomic Bombs were unnecessary! Finally even the US Air force Commander said that they he was a war criminal and would have been hung had they lost the war.
