Atomic bomb on Japan..
-
I just watched a video that said that the Atomic bomb was released just only after one trial, the scientist do not know of the exact power of it though they witness it's mighty explosion.
Little Boy and Fat Man was atomic bombs of different material like Uranium and Plutonium. Obviously, the drops on Japan were experimental drops, what if Japan surrendered long before the Allies crossed the Rhine, would the US drop the 2 bomb on Germany in place of Japan?
Now, the Asian part of me says that is just plain racism.
The Chinese part of me says that dropping 2 bombs on Japan is too easy on them considering the atrocities they committed in the war.
Now, pray to god that thankfully I'm not and never will be the President of the US.

Actually, the 1st bomb that was dropped on hiroshima wasn't even tested at all la. Cos they didn't have enough uranium to conduct a test, and the scientists were sure that the design would work.
They did do a test detonation of the 2nd plutonium bomb b4 using it though. -
If u visit Hiroshima peace centre, u can see the original letter by general mac authur orders for bombing japan which stated 5 atomic bomb scheduled for bombing of Japan. Lucky for the Japanese, their emperor surrendered after the second drop. Else i wont be sure if japan can ever recover if all 5 bombs were drop.

You cant ask him anything cuz he is dead!Originally posted by Gun:Pray to god? Why not ask this guy if he is one? The jap used to believe so....until those 2 mushroom clouds wake them up. -
they were desperate. because japan was getting way too powerful, so they put together something and sent it to them, From America With Love.
anyway american actually wanted to stay out of WW2. but japan stupid go attack their pearl harbour. that was the only mistake they did la. -
Even if the Japs surrendered before the Allies dropped the bomb, they wld not have dropped it on germany because the bomb was not ready by that time.Originally posted by Agenda:I just watched a video that said that the Atomic bomb was released just only after one trial, the scientist do not know of the exact power of it though they witness it's mighty explosion.

However the bombs were meant to end the war so thet would have dropped if it was ready in time.
By the way there was a plan to invde Japan but the US taught it was better n "cheaper" to use the bomb. Some may say it was also a show of power to the Soviets. -
It was not cheaper in monetary terms. But in terms of US casualties. The US Marines have been taking serious casualties island hopping around the pacific. Total in with those who died in Normandy, the bomb was worth the drop.Originally posted by |-|05|:Even if the Japs surrendered before the Allies dropped the bomb, they wld not have dropped it on germany because the bomb was not ready by that time.

anyway still think why the emperor still alive in the event? shouldn't he be judged as jap take him as God n will not do anything against his will?
so why was he not judged in war crimes ? so can we conclude that his generals plans a mutiny against him as he is not involved?
Till now, still dun know why not just drop it on tokyo once and for all and barricade the coast line and just wait for whole country to kneel due to lack of resources. -
I thought its to prove military superiority to the Soviets?

yea i knwOriginally posted by Shotgun:It was not cheaper in monetary terms. But in terms of US casualties. The US Marines have been taking serious casualties island hopping around the pacific. Total in with those who died in Normandy, the bomb was worth the drop.
hence the "cheaper".they estimated something like 1million casualties.anyway still think why the emperor still alive in the event? shouldn't he be judged as jap take him as God n will not do anything against his will?
He was not judged in war crimes n not removed becaused they did not want a situation like Germant after WW1 where the emperor was gone n there was political turmoil.

The bomb was not dropped on tokyo again for political reasons, the US didnt want to be seen as killing civilians to it's people nor anger the japs so they bombed a "military" target, ifi recall correctly both those cities were industrial cities.
They didnt blockade Japan because they wanted to end the war NOW.not in a few months but NOW.
And also they might have wanted to show the Soviets the power of the Bomb.
