Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how in August of 1945, Japan was locked in bloody warfare with the USA. While Japan's defeat seemed inevitable, its refusal to surrender meant that thousands of lives were being lost on both sides. The paper further discusses how this situation was abruptly terminated in August, after the USA dropped the most destructive weapon of all time on two Japanese cities. On August 6th, 1945, the USA dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and 3 days later it dropped another on Nagasaki. In Hiroshima 75,000 people, primarily civilians, died instantly and many thousands more would die lingering deaths from radiation in the years that followed.More papers on Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
