Trinity: A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb

1. Atomic Bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki- In August of 1945, the US decided to drop an atomic bomb on the city Hiroshima, and then Nagasaki. 100,000 people were killed in Hiroshima and thousands more are killed in the second bombing. I ranked this as my most important development because it caused the Japanese Government to accept the Potsdam Declaration, causing Japan to surrender the war. It also caused thousands of soldiers to return home from the United States after the war.

AP Euro Notes Sec 27-1 pp. 842 -855 Nalani Story THE DEEPENING OF THE EUROPEAN CRISIS: WW II PRELUDE TO WAR (1933-1939) ---the efforts at collective security in the 1920s---the League of Nations, the attempts at disarmament, the pacts and the treaties---all proved meaningless in view of the growth of Nazi Germany and its deliberate scrapping of the postwar settlement in the 1930s ---World War II was largely made possible by the failure of Britain and France to oppose strongly flagrant German violations of the Treaty of Versailles The Path to War (1937-1939) at a secret conference with his military leaders on November 5, 1937, Hitler stated that Germany?s ultimate goal must be the conquest of living space in the east

While the bombing of Hiroshima affected Japanese people as a whole, it also allowed Americans to take action. Within 4 days after the catastrophe, the Japanese surrendered and ended a terrible war. The U.S. responded the same way and accepted the surrender. The Japanese were not very efficient with their efforts to recover. Unlike the Japanese, the U.S. went to Hiroshima to establish an occupant government. It helped victims of the bombing to recover and rebuild what they had lost. After the time of recovery and rebuilding was done in Hiroshima, the U.S. established a way for victims of the bombing to get medical care free of charge. The Japanese did not establish much besides small coverage for medical care. Both Japan and the U.S.
