Dropping of the Atomic Bombs


In the end, the USA decide to use the atomic bomb to end the war quickly. I will say that this is a good idea. I don't know how and why good ideas come out at the end of the show. On 6 August 1945, the USA finally dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Serves them right! They have attacked the wrong parts of the world. The atomic bomb was more powerful than the other bombs used during the war. It destroyed the entire city of Hiroshima. The atomic bomb dropped her is called 'Little Boy'. However, the Japanese did not surrender.So, the USA released a second atomic bomb. It was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki on 9 August 1945. This city was also destroyed. This atomic bomb is called 'Fat Man'. See, what comes around goes around.

This is how little boy looks like :

This is how the bombing at Nagasaki looks like :


And this is how Hiroshima looks like after the dropping of the atomic bomb :


This is the map of Japan :

As you can see, Hiroshima and Nagasaki is on the left corner in this picture.

In the end, I think that the USA is very rich and acts too rashly. If I were them, I would have bribed the Japanese. I don't know if it will work but if it works, I will say that they would have wasted a whole lot of money dropping these two atomic bombs.
