Dropping of Atomic Bombs

May 8th and Allies declared their win in the war, though it isn't fully over yet. On August 6th, 1945
the Americans dropped an heavy atomic bomb on the Japanese city called Hiroshima, the name of the pilot who had dropped it is referred to as Enola Gay. It was said that Canada had contributed to this disaster as Canadians provided Uranium for the development of the atomic bomb. The plan being top secret had a code name “Manhattan Project”.




Canadian government did not even ask for consent or verify citizens about this project while it was being secretly developed in the Eldorado's mine. Three day after this attack of an atomic bomb the city of Nagasaki was bombed as well. American had said that it was only so the Japanese would surrender from the war, since they disagreed to do so Americans felt provoked to do something. Japanese declared they would “fight to the last person” even though thousands of civilians were being killed. All this controversy resulted in the atomic bombings. Within the two bombing it is estimated 100 000 people were killed and 100 000 were injured. The Japanese will not only face short term effects but also effects like caner will come into play in their lives. Americans proved their horrifying and finally on August 14th the Japanese have decided to surrender. One can subsequently sleep at night knowing that the war has definitely been completely abolished.
