Damascus-SANA

On August 6, 1945, Japan and the entire world were on a date with the revealing of the true criminal face of the United States, which without hesitation dropped the first atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima and followed it three days later with another bomb on Nagasaki to be the main responsible for the largest human and environmental disaster in the twentieth century. Victims and injured exceed 200

thousand people, and material and environmental damages, the effects of which are still present to this day.

American pilot Paul Tibbets took over the task of dropping the atomic bomb, which was called “Little Boy” at the time, and was described in the wake of the catastrophe’s repercussions as “the bomb that changed the world” with an explosive power estimated to be 20,000 tons of highly explosive TNT. At the point of its explosion, several million degrees and caused a huge wave that led to the destruction of buildings and the immediate fall of tens of thousands of people as lifeless bodies to the ground.

Despite the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the government of Japan at the time, led by Emperor Hiro Hito, refused to respond to the ultimatum given by then US President Harry Truman to surrender, so the latter gave his orders to drop another bomb on Nagasaki two days after the Hiroshima bomb, where this disaster also led to the death of about 80,000 people. This forced Japan to sign the instrument of surrender on September 2, 1945.

While the Japanese remember the victims of the two bombs and their destructive effects, which varied and varied according to experts, from melting glass and sand and burning human corpses to serious diseases caused by explosions saturated with radioactive fissile materials and environmental damage that prevents the growth of plants and trees, historical evidence from American and Japanese archives confirms that Japan would have surrendered In August of 1945, in any case, even if the atomic bombs were not bombed, and documents prove that Truman and his closest advisors knew this. Perhaps the greatest evidence of this is what the latter’s chief of staff, Admiral William Leahy wrote in his memoirs, where he admitted saying, “The use of this barbaric weapon in Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not It was materially useful in our war against Japan.. The Japanese were already defeated and they are ready to surrender.. And by being the first to use it, we have adopted a common moral standard with the barbarians of the Dark Ages.”
