Why Was it Wrong To Drop The Bomb On Hiroshima?
I think this is wrong because the U.S.A wanted to show the world their “power” and showed no apparent care for the victims of the bombing, and classed themselves as more worthy to live than the Japanese.
In the view of the Americans, they wanted to be seen as THE most powerful country in the world, and thought that if they bombed their opponents at the time, the Japanese, they would be able to stop any wars from coming to them, and they specifically meant this towards the Russian, or the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
BUT, from the Japanese view, and also my view, the bombing was an unjustified, inhuman, massacre, which the U.S.A willfully performed for the “greater good” of both sides, apparently saving lives that would have been wasted for the expected months that the war would have continued for.
AND the americans gave the japanese terms of surrender that the americans knew that there was no way that the japanese would accept, and in my opinion they did that so they could have cause to use their bomb
Also The american's must have thought that dropping the A-Bomb on hiroshima was apt revenge for the damage they took at pearl harbour, but in my opinion, it wasnt.
Most of the damage the American's took at pearl habour was mainly mechanical and in their houses and villages, with roughly 4500 people dieing there, while the Japanese had a death toll of over 100,000, causing much damage into the Japanese economy, and causing a dent into their population, adding the extra work they would have to perform to fix all of the damage.
Also, some historian's wonder why the U.S.A did not drop the A-Bomb on germany during the war, and why they didnt use it to end the war quicker than they had.
In my opinion they did not bomb the germans because of the major polution it would cause, destroying their[/u] econonmy, and any support they could have gained if their was a war towards them, AND possible gaining enemies from europe because of the damage it would have caused to the surrounding countries, including Russia, Belgium, Poland, France and maybe even Great Britain.

For a bonus point - why do you think they dropped a bomb on Japan but not on Germany? _________________ Use the button below to start your reply. Then click 'Submit' when you have typed it.

Was It Right To Drop The Bomb On Hiroshima?
Why was it wrong to drop the bomb on Hiroshima?
No it was not right for the U.S.A to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the U.S.A wanted to show off there new talent, the atomic bomb.
The U.S.A was evil and showed no care for the innocent victims of the city.
In the American’s view, IT WAS A GOOD THING because they wanted to show the Russian’s there new power, and the whole world what they can do.
In the Japanese point of view, IT WAS TERRIBLE loosing over 60,000 hard working people. It was INHUMAN, NO REASON FOR.!!!

I think it was wrong to drop the Bomb on Hiroshima even though the Japanese was demanded to surrender. Hiroshima was a large city, that the Americans Destroyed 69% of City buildings. The Americans wanted to get their point across that they're more powerful than Japanese.
It was wrong to kill 140,000 people in less than 1 minute (60 seconds) which is terrible, Also Invading japan with the new deadly secret Atomic bomb.
The Japanese sees this as a Final warning. Nowadays People have never forgotten the bombing but will remember what the Americans did.
Hiroshima's mayor, Tadatoshi Akiba led the crowd in a minute of silence. The remembrance of the bombing, A huge metal bell tolled in memory of the victims.Mr akiba Quoted a statement saying 'jeopardising human survival by clinging on to their arsenals,We have to pay due tribute to all the souls claimed by the atomic bomb,We will not make the same mistake again.
Moving back to the point,It was not right to drop the bomb in hiroshima.
