6 Aug 1945 It was summer season in Hiroshima and city of Japan, it was a beautiful day and there was good sunshine in the blue sky and it was Monday morning. At 8 am everyone left their offices for work. Small children had gone to school and Phila Pendre was about to start. At this time people see an American Boeing B-29 plane passing in the sky. Exactly at 08:15 minutes something is seen falling down from this airplane but people could not see it so clearly from a distance. What is this small thing, which is falling down from this airplane, they would not have thought even in their dreams that it was an autonic bomb. It keeps falling down for 43 seconds, exactly 43 seconds and after that everything is over in the blink of an eye. Thousands of people living in the city saw a very bright glowing light in their last moments. Due to the bomb oriental, a fireball is formed, as if a small sun is formed, whose temperature on the ground reaches 4000°C. 80,000 people died in a moment. The biggest question that will arise in your mind after hearing this is, why was the bomb planted, what was the reason behind it.
1. When was the atomic bomb on Hiroshima replaced?
On August 6, 1945, a self-propelled bomb exploded on Hiroshima, killing 80,000 people.
2. What is the name of the atom that fell on Hiroshima?
Little Boy atomic bomb
3. Why did Hitler commit suicide?
had declared war on each other. In fact, without going into much detail about the war, Italy had surrendered by 1943. On April 30, 1945, Hitler committed suicide by shooting himself
In 1941 Japan attacked Pal Harbor
The conclusion of the story of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. From the Second World War, this war began in 1939 when Hitler invited the countries of Poland and one by one many countries went into this war. There was a fight between two alliances all over the world and on one side were Nazi Germany, Italy and Japan which is called the SIS Power and on the other side were Great Britain, Soviet Union and the USA which is called the Elite Power or Allies. Countries like France and China were included in the Allies. But initially America was trying its best not to become a part of the war. After the user experience of the First World War, America thought of not interfering with whatever happens in Europe and Asia. But in 1941, Japan attacked Pal Harbor. After that, USA was also forced to get involved in this war.
This Japan connection should not be understood. Whenever we talk about the World, we often focus on Germany and Hitler. We do not talk much about Japan, what is the real issue. In fact, in the early 1900s, imperialism was also seen in Japan. In the same way, Britain, France and many other European countries started occupying other countries. And were colonizing them, but Japan was doing the same thing. India was a part of the British Empire, similarly, by 1940, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and many eastern regions of China, North Korea, South Korea and many other countries were under the control of the Japanese Empire. Japan used to talk about colonizing Greater Asia, we used to talk about uniting Asia when they talked about seeing all these things. In reality, the land was occupied by the colonizers so that they could get profit.
In 1940 Japan became a participant in World War two
The first expansion was in 1931 into Manchuria, a region of Northern China that many people occupied. The expansion to the north would lead to some occupation of the Union Area bordering Mongolia. The expansion to the south was into Vietnam, Laos and other countries that would occupy that area.
What was the matter in the south, the countries which are today Vietnam, Cambodia, were actually part of the French Empire. For example, it was called Indo French China. When Japan wanted to occupy these, the first thing to do was to defeat the French Empire. This is what happened in 1940, they waged a war against France and occupied this region. But Japan became a participant in World War II. America saw that there was a one-sided Hitler in Europe, war was going on against one country after another and they were being occupied. On the other hand, there is Japan in Asia, it wants to do the same thing, but we do not want to interfere in the war. By using our military, but something has to be done here to stop it.
Japan dreams of creating Greater Asia
Why should we take any action? So the US actually banned the export of large quantities of copper, iron and steel to Japan. It was hoped that Japan would stop its expansion after seeing this, but it did not happen. Now the US has said that it will start withdrawing its oil on one condition only. First, you withdraw from the area of China which you had got. Break your alliance with Germany and Italy. But this meant that the dream of the Japanese people to create Greater Asia had to end the Japanese Empire. Both of them said to each other, screw America, we will take some other way. They saw that the areas of Malaysia and Indonesia have good oil and other resources, why not occupy this area and extract our own oil and then there will be no need to depend on America, but there was a problem, Indonesia was the Dutch East Indies at that time. So it was in the Dutch cartel, while Malaysia was British Malay.
British and Dutch were America’s allies. If they attacked these countries also, it meant that America could attack us. It is possible that America does not attack us. But we will go to occupy the country of Philippines. So actually America had occupied the territory, colonized it. Then America will surely attack us back because we will be snatching America’s territory and how can the dream of Greater Asia be fulfilled without Philippines. Now we have only one way left, we will occupy this entire area. If America attacks us in this case, we will have to silence them. America is more powerful than us, if a long war goes on, we will lose. In this war, if we secretly go and attack their military base, blow up all their aircraft, planes, all ships, then what will happen?
Japan occupies the Philippines
With this thinking, on 7 December 1941, Japan suddenly attacked the Palm Harbor bus of America. More than 350 Japanese naval aircraft attack, bombs are dropped and within 2 hours, 19 US naval ships, 188 military aircraft and more than 2000 American military personnel are killed. A few hours later, Japan occupied the Philippines. Actually, this was a foolish thinking of the children of Japan. If you occupy the territory of a big country like America, attack their army and then expect them to remain silent, then this is not going to happen. Obviously, in response to this, America also officially declared war. And America started a war against Japan. This was the time when America officially joined the Second World War. After this, Britain and China also started a war against Japan. And seeing this, Nazi Germany and Italy also declared war against America three days later.
By the end of 1941, the world was in full swing. All these big countries declared war against each other. Actually, without going into much detail about the war, Italy surrendered by 1943. On 30 April 1945, Hitler committed suicide by shooting himself and after that Germany surrendered. Japan was the only power left that had not surrendered. Despite continuous losses, the Japanese emperor was not ready to surrender.
THE BATTLE OF OKINAWA
America and other allied countries were hopeful that after a while unemployment in Japan has increased so much. There is no food for people to eat, hunger has increased so much.
America saw that only one way was left. A full-scale invasion of Japan meant sending your military and going on the ground and overthrowing the Japanese umpire. So America planned Operation Downfall. The last big battle was fought between America and Japan. THE BATTLE OF OKINAWA 1st April 1945 to 22nd June 1945 If we look at it closely, this is Okinawa Island to the south of Japan. America sends its military to go on the ground and physically capture this island. But the battle of Okinawa surprised America. The Japanese people were not prepared to lose. Not every person was prepared to accept defeat in their last battle. Continuous kamikaze attacks were seen, one after the other, suicide bombs.
US President Franklin D.Roosevelt died in World War two
Eventually the Americans won the battle, but the cost was heavy. 12,000 American soldiers were killed and more than 50,000 were injured. On the other hand, 1,10,000 Japanese soldiers were killed. America and its allied countries thought that another method would have to be adopted to make Japan surrender. On 12 April 1945 the US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had been the US President for a long time, passes away during the World War II. And the Vice President Harry Truman becomes the new President of America. The entire responsibility of leading Japan in the war falls on Ueno’s shoulders.
He had already made it clear that the Japanese emperor would not surrender under any circumstances. At the same time, he comes to know about a top secret US military project called the Man Hutton Project. Where many scientists are working to make the world’s largest atomic bomb. On 16 July 1945, this atomic bomb is tested at the New Mexico Bombing Range and the test turns out to be successful. Harry Truman feels that he has found his solution.
They discuss with the rest of the top military officials and their government heads how to drop the bomb. They decide that a last warning should be given to Japan before dropping it. 26 July 1945 Potsdam Declaration: The President of the US, the President of China, the Prime Minister of Great Britain come together and make unconditional demands from Japan. They give the warning that if Japan does not surrender, the result will be complete destruction.
The Japanese people had not even imagined in their dreams that a weapon like the atom bomb exists in this world. The Japanese emperor actually agreed to surrender when he was told to maintain his power and let any occupied terrorists stay inside. But America wanted an unconditional surrender. On 29 July 1945, Japan rejected this Potsdam declaration. Then on 3 August 1945, US President Harry Truman authorized the dropping of the atom bomb on Japan.
6 Aug 1945 Boeing B-29 plane passes over Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities. This plane carried the Little Boy atomic bomb which is the first big ironic name for the world’s first atomic bomb. At 8:15 the bomb is dropped on Hiroshima. America becomes the first and only country in the history of the world to use nuclear weapons. At that time people who were present in Hiroshima were shocked by this huge explosion. They tell a very painful story that first they saw such a huge shining light, due to which many people became temporarily blind. Immediately after that such a horrific sound was heard which was so loud that many people suffered hearing loss.
The temperature of 4000°C on the ground, instantly turned into vapor vice present there. This thing happened so fast that the shadows of the people remained on the ground. The black shadow remained frozen inside the stone which we see today. Those who were not killed instantly could not understand what actually happened here. Before trying to understand, after the shockwaves high blast temperature started changing so fast wind started blowing that the sky became green. The pieces of houses were broken and the things of the blast started flying in the air. After a few minutes the sound subsided, then all the people looked at the sky but they saw black toxic dust. It started to seem unbelievable. Just 15 minutes before there was blue sky and the sun was shining. Everything had suddenly become black toxic.
70% of the buildings of Hiroshima were completely destroyed. The city was no longer left. These satellite images are of before the bomb or after the bomb. What happened to the bodies of the survivors? People’s skin had peeled off, they were suffering from thirst. Half an hour after the blast, it started raining and there was actually a toxic air here. From here the clouds formed and this was not ordinary rain, every drop of rain was black in colour. Grease was dripping from the sky but the rain was very toxic.
An atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on 9 Aug 1945
The fanatics in the Japanese military refused to meet him after this bomb blast. They did not even attend a single meeting! They said what is such a big thing that happened, it was just a big bomb that was dropped, it is a slightly bigger bomb, so no one raises any questions. The Japanese emperor still refused to surrender. In response to this, three days later on 9 Aug 1945, America drops another atom bomb. This time at 11:00 am, another Boeing B-29 plane flies over Nagasaki, this time it was even more powerful. Its name was Fatman. The mushroom lava that is formed by this blast is even bigger, immediately 40,000 people are killed and 6.7 square kilometer city is destroyed. However, the atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki was even more powerful and this time there were less casualties. There are many reasons behind this.
The total demolition of Hiroshima and Nagasaki cost a total of $970 US million, but their restoration and building restoration began immediately. Volunteers from different cities came to rebuild the city. Now there is another story of how these cities were restored in such a wonderful way that even if you go there today, you would not know that a nuclear bomb was dropped on these cities.
