6 Aug 1945 Jahr - Atomic Bomb is Dropped on Japan

Beschreibung:

With Harry Truman as president, and Germany defeated the Americans turned the war effort toward Japan. To accelerate the end of the war, Truman dropped the atomic bomb of the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima which instantly killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians. The Japanese quickly surrendered and the war was over, but many debate that dropping the bomb was morally wrong. Many say that killing so many civilians was unnecessary, while many say that Americans lives would have been lost if they had not dropped the bomb. Regardless, the atomic bomb and nuclear weapons are still a major political point of contention in America today.
