What's more, he was _in the middle of describing_ what he experienced in Hiroshima to his boss when the Nagasaki bomb went off. 🙄 Yamaguchi-san: "So there was this blinding flash..." Boss (pointing out the window): "Like that one?"
Our neighbor's cheek was scarred from the Nagasaki blast, but at her son's funeral I found out she was born in California. I asked her son why was she in Japan at that time? She went to Nagasaki to care for her grandparents and married a Japanese serviceman who was killed. Her baby was born mentally challenged from the fallout and never came to America. She was the sweetest lady you would ever want to know; she passed away from cancer in the mid 1970's. Never does much time pass without remembering Mildred Shimasaki. RIP
The man who survived two atomic blasts in a week received a Nobel prize later in life. He said it was the third biggest surprise of his life. Bless him. 11:54
Your comment also applies to Jap nationals. They expect the world to maintain a once a year awareness of the day the nukes happened. Then why do government officials also honor the war dead? Reminder* Japans generral were in full agreement to the genocidal murder of non-japanese.
@@AlexanderM-h3b I understand but you Americans saved millions of your own people by dropping those nukes. Also the reason why Japan is what it is today a peace loving nation who loves all things cute and cuddly,you may not be perfect but your way better than North Korea who citizens are neglected like animals.
So you are accepting a youtube western view and perspective as the gospel truth, with no curiosity to cross reference and to objectively listen to another point of view? So you believe in what you want to believe in. Not actual objective truth
I visited Hiroshima 2 months ago to visit the bomb dome + memorial + museum. It was really a humbling and surreal moment just standing there right where the bomb detonated. Such a lovely city. Rip to all the people who died that fateful day.
My father was at Sea & was able to see the second bomb go off at Nagasaki. To those who don't fully understand why the bombs were dropped. My father explained that every man, woman & child would die for their Emperor. Not only every Japanese would die but a lot more American Soldier's would die if they had to invade. Which they were preparing to do. After Nagasaki was hit Japan still wasn't going to surrender. My Dad said Truman sent the Emperor (Hirohito) a Telegraph stating that Tokyo was next but with a bigger yield. It was then the Emperor stepped in & over threw the 6 Generals in charge. My father said he didn't care if every Japanese died. He didn't want anymore US soldier to die. He said a lot of great men died already. Including his best friend who was torn in half on the ships 🚢 deck from a Kamikaze Airplane ✈ hitting & skidding across the deck.
He is a liar and only telling you wat was told to him....listen to the damn survivors SPEAK Your dad was a POS follower and liar Also an American with knowledge
Applaud your father. But war is stupid. How many more die over nothing? I mean we're the worst of creatures. When the world understands that different cultures operates differently everything will change
Yeah that’s what the US government and warhawks have said for decades. But I highly doubt that every Japanese citizen would’ve sacrificed their life for the emperor. No matter how powerful or beloved someone is, there’s always gonna be citizens who don’t like them or believe in the war. Also, the US may’ve been justified in attacking Japan but the amount of force we used was at the very least excessive and at most a war crime. The US lost 2403 soldiers in Pearl Harbor and Japan lost 240,000 just from the 2 atomic bombs alone.
@@coolcat6303 Isn't it odd that people's views change when they are actually there & went through it? I guess that's what happens when you see your friends Torso slide past you.
In the year 2008, I saw a short movie about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was well made. Have been searching for it since then, but never come across it again.
I read a book about the bombings, there was a man with a horse and cart and whipping his horses with a whip when the bomb exploded on a bridge, the man the horse cart and whip were etched onto the bridge
They knew they were the plane made 3 attempts to do a bombing run circling the city catching heavy anti aircraft fire and they started burning coal to black out the sky to obscure the target.
@@threediamond1527 but they couldn't have known on that day that they were targets for a NUCLEAR bomb. To answer Andy - they say in the video that a term ''Kokura's Luck'' was coined after the fact. This leads me to believe they had no idea until afterwards when documents and other details about the American attack was unearthed/disclosed
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are famous, but other than that, many of Japan's major cities have been burned by air raids. For example, the bombing of Tokyo on March 10, 1945 killed 100,000 people, many of whom were not properly buried and still remain underground in Tokyo. Therefore, it can be said that Tokyo, which is prospering now, is a huge graveyard. The incendiary bomb dropped by the B29 contained gasoline and was effective in burning up a wooden Japanese house. The attack method was to drop a bomb on the outer circumference of the city, surround it with fire and prevent the citizens inside from escaping, and burned 100,000 people to death. In this way, by the end of the war, more than one million civilians had died.
I knew about these fire bombings but not this "The attack method was to drop a bomb on the outer circumference of the city, surround it with fire and prevent the citizens inside from escaping...". Yet, no one on the winning side was ever judged for war crimes... German accounts reveal that the US liked to do two 2 bombing raids in a row, so that the 2nd would also kill those coming to rescue victims of the 1st one. And they had bombs that exploded with delays so that the damage yet continued. All in civilian populated areas BTW. Some will say "yeah yeah THEY deserved it" as if all citizens are deserving of what their governments did. At least don't lecture others on war crimes.
@@MVProfitsThe Victors always get to write the history. Not surprised, war crimes, especially in a war as large as WW2 are commonly committed by both sides. The bombing of Dresden, in Germany I thought was unnecessary. The war was nearing the end, yet the allies decided to go ahead with it. I believe at least over 50,000 died in that attack.
Despite the hundreds of thousands already dead in Tokyo from fire bombing the city was lucky it didn't get nuked as well cause there would have been nothing left of Tokyo plus america had no more bombs left well I think they weren't ready so lucky I guess
@@MVProfits Soldiers don't fall out of the sky. They come from the people. They came from Japanese families, homes and schools. Had there been different Japanese persons in those soldiers' shoes, do you think anything would have turned out differently? I don't think so. The people as a whole are responsible for what their country's military does during wars.
On August 6 and 9, 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombings killed between 150,000 and 246,000 people, most of them civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in armed conflict. Japan surrendered to the Allies on August 15, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war against Japan and invasion of Japanese-occupied Manchuria. The Japanese government signed an instrument of surrender on September 2, effectively ending the war. In the final year of World War II, the Allies prepared for a costly invasion of mainland Japan. This effort began with conventional bombing and firebombing campaigns that destroyed 64 Japanese cities. The war in the European theater ended when Germany surrendered on 8 May 1945, and the Allies turned their full attention to the Pacific War. By July 1945, the Allied Manhattan Project had produced two types of atomic bombs: the "Little Boy", an enriched uranium-type fission weapon, and the "Fat Man", a plutonium-type explosive nuclear weapon. The United States Air Force's 509th Composite Group trained and equipped with a special Silverplate version of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, and deployed to Tinian in the Mariana Islands. The Allies called for the unconditional surrender of the Imperial Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration of 26 July 1945, the alternative being "immediate and total destruction". The Japanese government ignored these two words. British approval was obtained for the bombing, as required by the Treaty of Quebec, and orders were issued on July 25 by General Thomas Handy, acting chief of staff of the United States Army, for atomic bombs to be used against Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagasaki. This target was chosen because it is a large urban area which also has important military facilities. On August 6, Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima. Three days later, a Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki. Over the next two to four months, the impact of the atomic bombs killed 90,000 to 166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000 to 80,000 people in Nagasaki; about half occur on the first day. For months afterward, many people continued to die from burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, plus disease and malnutrition. Although Hiroshima had great military power, most of the dead were civilians. Scholars have studied extensively the impact of the bombings on the social and political character of world history and subsequent popular culture, and there remains much debate regarding the ethical and legal justification for the bombings. According to its supporters, the atomic bomb was necessary to end the war with minimal casualties and ultimately prevent greater loss of life; according to critics, the bombing was unnecessary to end the war and constituted a war crime, giving rise to moral and ethical implications. Little Boy was the name of a type of atomic bomb used in the bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 during World War II, making it a weapon The first nuclear weapon used in war. The bomb was dropped by a Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay piloted by Col. Paul W. Tibbets Jr., commander of the 509th Composite Group, and Capt. Robert A. Lewis. The explosion had a force of about 15 kilotons of TNT (63 TJ) and had a blast radius of about 1.3 kilometers, causing widespread deaths throughout the city. The bombing of Hiroshima was the second nuclear explosion in history, following the Trinity Little Boy nuclear test developed by Lieutenant Commander Francis Birch's group at Manhattan's Los Alamos Project Laboratory during World War II, a reworking of the abandoned Thin Man nuclear bomb. Like the Skinny Man, this is a pistol type cleavage weapon. His explosive power is derived from the nuclear fission of uranium-235, while the Thin Man is based on the fission of plutonium-239. Fission is achieved by firing a hollow cylinder ("bullet") at a solid cylinder of the same material ("target") using nitrocellulose propellant powder. Little Boy contains 64 kilograms (141 lb) of highly enriched uranium, although less than one kilogram has undergone nuclear fission. The components were made in three different factories so no one has a complete copy of the design. In contrast to explosive design, which required sophisticated coordination of explosive shapes, the weapon type design was considered almost certain to succeed and was never tested before its first use on Hiroshima. After the war, many additional components for the Little Boy bomb were created. By 1950, only five complete weapons had been built, and these weapons were discontinued in November 1950. Little Boy was developed by Lieutenant Commander Francis Birch's team at the Manhattan Project's Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II, reworking their Thin Man nuclear bomb which is abandoned. Like Thin Man, he is a pistol type cleavage weapon. It derives its explosive power from the nuclear fission of uranium-235, while the Thin Man is based on the fission of plutonium-239. Fission is achieved by shooting a hollow cylinder ("bullet") at a solid cylinder of the same material ("target") using nitrocellulose propellant powder. Little Boy contains 64 kilograms (141 lb) of highly enriched uranium, although less than one kilogram undergoes nuclear fission. The components were created in three different factories so that no one would have a copy of the complete design. Unlike the burst design, which required sophisticated alignment of the shaped explosive charge, the gun-type design was considered almost guaranteed to work so it was never tested before its first use at Hiroshima. After the war, many components for additional Little Boy bombs were built. By 1950, only five complete guns had been built, and these had been completed by November 1950.
That’s not true… a lot of Americans didn’t want kids and newborns to die. Yes Pearl Harbor was bad but it was men against men. USA murdered pregnant women babies etc I promise you every general etc at that time is burning 🔥 in hell rn. Children should never be involved in war killing
The electrical safety plugs _were_ the arming system of the bomb so it wasn't live until they were removed and replaced with the red ones. If you mean it was live like it had its core in then yeah.
@@zsmith4853Yes they did and it saved millions and millions of lives including 10m Japs and 1m Americans otherwise the Invasion would've been the MOTHER of all battles way worse than Okinawa or Europe.

So they could scare Russia at the time, which I believe is the biggest mistake now because now in the world we live today it's time the U. S. GETS THE TASTE of they're own medicine.
I went to a garage sale in the mid 90's and a elderly man having the sale said he was in one the two planes that dropped the bombs over Japan and he said his photo was in the St.Paul Airport . 😁😁
I never knew about the letter that they dropped; I knew Alvarez had some friends from before the war who were Japanese but I didn't realize he'd actually written a letter that arguably probably could have got him charged for treason and had it dropped
Been back and forth on the issue for many years, but Frank's "Downfall" clarified the issue. Only Japan could have ended the war and (unless someone comes up with a realistic alternative) the nukes were, in fact, the most humane choice. Hirohito had to decide that enough of his subjects had died (ignoring the deaths caused by 'his subjects') to end the war. The nukes did that, and post-war readings suggest he did so as he might have been next in line.
Both this and part 1 of the documentary are fair and accurate depictions of this period of history. Very worthwhile watching. It is tragic that Japanese governments since 1945 have continued to deny the war crimes committed by that country in China, Korea, the Phillipines, South East Asia and other countries by Japanese forces during the War and earlier and refused to apologise formally and compensate the millions of people (mostly civilians) who were killed, tortured and maimed by Japanes born since that time, or even admit these crimes to the generations of Japanese born since that time.
you deleted my comment and that is supposed to be democracy??? "freedom of speech???" Yesterday it was the Americans, now China is in power and tomorrow it will be someone else.
The USA nuked two Japanese cities because Russia was just about to invade Japan and take it over. Also, US wanted to test their two different kinds of nuclear bombs (uranium and plutonium) on civilian populations while there was still a war going on. The Japanese would have surrendered before the nukes if America had agreed to let them keep their Emperor in place. But no, the Americans refused to do that -- but only until right AFTER they nuked the two cities. America allowed Emperor Hirohito to retain his throne and duties for the rest of his life, which ended in 1989. Also, the actual Japanese war criminals of Unit 731 in Manchuria were allowed to go free and were PAID by the Americans for the reports of their atrocities. Those war criminals went on to have long, successful careers as doctors in Japan. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians were killed by American nukes and in hundreds of firebombing attacks that nobody seems to know about
On Aug 6, the Red Army had not moved. And the Great Artiste took off before the Red Army moved. And no, Japan was not on the verge of surrender. Even after two nukes, the Big Six were still split 50/50.
Conditional surrender was not acceptable because that leads to a WWI situation. The Japanese had to be totally defeated. If America looked like they were going to accept conditional surrender Japan would say that indicates weakness and continue the war.
Before he finally died at the ripe old age of 92, Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the plane who a-bombed Hiroshima, killing around 200,000 civilians, was selling a 'Little Boy Bomb Replica signed by Pilot and Navigator of the Enola Gay,' for $350 plus $15 for shipping and handling. The blue bomb replica was lovingly 'hand crafted from solid mahogany,' 1/12 scale, approx. 10 inches long. Paul Tibbets said he never once had a moment of remorse over nuking the families of Hiroshima.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were first of all experiments, proving grounds for new weapons. It would be interesting to read about the process of American command selecting those targets: about criteria, real military value of those two targets, justification for bombing largely civilian targets.
i worked with a marine years ago. he was much older than me. he was one of the marines they used to watch a atomic bomb go off for test purposes. he said they were all given honorable discharges with full retirement benifits because the government thought they would all die.

Stalin, as he promised to Churchill and FDR in 1943 in Teheran, entered the war against Japan 8 August 1945, two days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. 1.6 million strong Soviet forces in Manchuria at the war theater bigger than the size of Western Europe, defeated one million strong The Kwantung Army - Japanese were retreating in fear and surrendering. Red Army defeated The Kwantung Army in two weeks. There are interesting accounts of Japanese POW where they explain that Japanese soldiers could not mount a resistance against Russian because they had some sort of mystical fear of Russians that they had not felt when fighting Americans.
There was a fight over naming of Bock’s Car. The pilot wanted to name the plane as many other pilots had. As mission leader, the choice was his. The pilot protested to higher ups, who ignored the protest. As a result, the name was not painted on the plane. A more proper and fully prepared story most likely exists elsewhere.
Many Americans viewed the atomic bombings as a form of retaliation for the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, which had deeply angered the American public. (The debate continues)
No they surrendered because MacArthur sent a message on a private channel to the emperor shortly after the bomb dropped. He stated he was going to "-put Japan in a full nelson."
Well, everyone here is wrong (but partly right). In fact it was a combination of the bombs AND the change in Russian policy towards Japan, and its subsequent sweep into Manchuria. 1) without Russian intervention, the Japanese may or may not have surrendered eventually. But surely a third atomic bomb WAS going to be dropped, and the more bombs dropped, the more the argument (made by a few in the Japanese high command) that the US only had "two or three" of these bombs was rendered doubtful. Of course, the truth is that up to this point there WERE only three cores, and two had already been used... one at Trinity, and one at Nagasaki. But then again, more cores were already being readied, as they were also meant to possibly be used in the invasion... so in time, more of Japan could have been nuked. No one can say what this realization, or at least the thought of it, might have done to the minds of the various Japanese leaders... especially the emperor. 2) without the atomic bombings, but WITH a Russian invasion into Manchuria... there is little reason to think that the Japanese would have simply capitulated out of fear of communism and Russian invasion of the home islands. The Japanese already knew an Allied invasion (of Americans/British/Australians etc.) was coming. They were willing to face it and take as many Allies with them as they could. Russia in itself, then, was hardly any scarier a proposition to these people who were willing to commit mass suicide of their entire nation rather than admit defeat. Russia's entrance into the war simply removed their hope for a negotiated settlement, and meant that an invasion was thus certain. Of course, there is also the consideration that Russia was not well equipped for a sea-borne invasion of the kind that the US and UK were well-practiced at, and the Japanese knew this. At most Russia could hope to get a foothold on Hokkaido... but a full scale invasion of Honshu by the USSR was highly unlikely. Long before that, the invasion of Japan proper by the Allies would have begun. It was the realization that they were facing total destruction on all sides, with no hope, that finally made the Japanese---and particularly the emperor--realize that all was lost. People who think it was only the bombs, or only the Russians... do not understand the kind of fanaticism that gripped the Japanese leadership at that time. These are people who literally allowed countless thousands upon thousands of their citizens die not only in the atomic bombings but in the regular fire bombings of their cities... and all for the sake of their insane code of Bushido.
In May this year I completed a radiation therapy involving brief, about five minutes each, whole of brain radiation for five times a week for four weeks. After I wondered if what I am experiencing in terms of radiation sickness might be something like what people on the fringes of the fallout zone might have experienced. I am assuming the medical folk involved in my treatment would not have subjected me to anything other than “safe” levels of radiation but I have to say “safe” does not necessarily mean harmless. Don’t get me wrong I am grateful to be here still but the advice I have is that some of the incidental damage from the treatment I might never recover from. As I said, glad to be here and I took what positives I could from the ride, It was interesting.

Re. Nagasaki: You omitted to state that, unlike Hiroshima, there was no firestorn, as the second bomb fell in a valley, which prevented the fires from coalescing into one big fire.
My stepmoms, stepdad was one of the navigators in one of the planes that dropped the bombs. I dont remember which plane he was in but im sure those guys didnt talk about it.
My Uncles my mother's brothers were detained in internment camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor they finally were allowed to go and fight in Europe with the 442 go for broke regiment ❤
I taught school with a Japanese woman, wonderful person, whose family was living in Hawaii during the attack on Pearl Harbor. They all were moved to an intermit camp in Arizona. She was a little girl at the time. A most horrible experience 😢.

Those two A-bomb attacks most likely were not necessary. With the USSR's invasion of Manchuria and with Truman's acceptance of the Japanese condition of amnesty for the Emperor, Japan would probably have surrendered without the A-bomb attacks. But we will never know for sure because Truman refused to wait a week or two before nuking Japan. He jumped the gun, so to speak, and gave away the USA's advantage in nuclear developement. Now, we are all paying the price, and there is no turning back.
Can you imagine that entire families and bloodlines were all wiped off the face of earth when this happen making it to where i imagine that there are alot of still missing or unknown deaths even to today
Relief. Gen. Paul Tibbits when asked, "Are you proud of what you did" answered, "Yes I am" (source: Atonic Heritage Foundation). Remember the invasion of Okinawa resulted in 50,000 US casualties and 250,000 Japanese killed. Invading the "home island" would have meany 10 times that number on both sides.
What about the innocent civilians? What about generations cut short. What about children and women and hard working men busting their backs off for food or whatever the hell they had of essence back then?

To all the idiots criticizing the U.S. for their bombings of the war, let me ask you something, ever heard of the battle of Stalingrad? The first stage saw German forces advance into the city and occupying the city within two weeks. Over 2.4 million Soviets died in the first stage of the battle and is often called, ‘the meat grinding of the east’ as Soviet soldiers were pitted against the new German MG42 machine gun, trailblazer to the modern mini guns, and their new Tiger 1 heavy tanks which could decimate any Soviet tank at the time from virtually any distance. Russian veterans often recount that their comrades would literally explode from the MG42 insane rate of fire at 1,500 rounds per minute, it was the fastest firing infantry weapon in the world at the time. “My friends turned into pasteurized meat” said Vasily Zeytsev. Stalingrad was the single largest battle of not just the war, but in world history. Imagine 5 million soldiers perished in the matter of months and their families and friends hoping for their safe return. That would’ve been the case if the U.S. did the land invasion of Japan. The atomic bombs saved hundreds of thousands of American lives and tens of millions of Soviet and Japanese lives. Let’s not also forget when Japan started their holocaust in 1933 by the Shanghai and Nanking massacres which killed 5 times more people than both atomic bombs combined… and in a much slower, and brutal fashion
USSR was on Japan's doorstep about to invade it. This was relayed to Japan. The prospect was unthinkable so they decided to rather capitulate to the US.
Ok sure whatever you want to believe, but the Russians weren't going to be invading Japan. The Japanese knew this. The Russian's entire strategy was based on heavy weapons ... tanks and artillery. They had zero transports or landing craft and had never done an amphibious landing.
@@MrTexasDanRussia declared war on Japan in August of 1945. So, by your logic the Russian's were just going to just sit there and stare at the Japanese with a menacing look on their feces, I mean, their faces?

To listen to the Japanese emperors surrender speech. He's specifically mentioned an infernal new weapon which was the atomic bomb. He didn't say, the Russians invaded. He didn't say his cities were fire bombed. He didn't say his Navy was sunk. He specifically mentioned the atomic bomb. His speech is here on UA-cam.
The Japanese as early as 1944 had been attempting to sue for peace with the US and had enlisted the Russian embassy to appeal on their behalf (the US had a no-communication policy in effect with Japan) but to no avail. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were civilian targets with women, children and old men left after most of its young men had died in combat. We've sanitized one of the most heinous acts in human history and covered the fact the US wanted Russia and China to know it had the big stick and was willing to use it..... even Robert Oppenheimer came to understand he'd opened up Pandora's Box and tried to warn Truman of the folly of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thus destroying his career and isolating him within the broader science community for the rest of his life. A true reflection of world history being written by the winners :(
I totally agree with you.The ostensible purpose of this United States to drop A-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was to urge Japan to accept the Potsdam Declaration or unconditional surrender. As a result, US military forces did not need to land on Japanese mainland. So a lot of American lives as well as Japanese civilians were spared. A lot of American people still believe that A-bombings are tragic but necessary evil to minimize casualties. However, leaders of both the United States and Imperial Japan knew Imperial army could not fight to the last ditch on Japanese mainland. When Imperial Navy was annihilated at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October, 1944, Japanese leaders had to recognize that Japan`s defeat was inevitable, and their objective was to capitulate to the United States under favorable conditions as possible. Imperial Japan expected the Soviet Union to work as a mediator between the United States and Japan since Japan singed the Russo-Japanese Non-Aggression Pact. But the Soviet Union annulled the Russo-Japanese Non-Aggression Pact on August 9th, 1945 when the second A-bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, and declared a war against Imperial Japan. This was the last straw for Japan, and finally she decided to accept unconditional surrender. If Red Army did not assaulted the Kwantung Army in Manchukuo, Imperial Japan would never accept the Potsdam Declaration even if third and fourth A-bombs were dropped. The real objective of the United States to drop A-bombs on Japan was to intimidate Stalin and the Soviet Union. After World War II, it was believed that the Unites States would enter the Cold War era against the Soviet Union, and American military officers were astonished Russian aggressiveness and their excellent weapons after the fall of Berlin. So it was crucial for the United States to demonstrate their military edge to Russians. Therefore, A-bombings on Japan was unnecessary.
Are you kidding me!!! We saved millions of lives its called sacrifice. That's why you'll never be in a position of power. Even the Japanese know better than that
these were attempts by low level officials who were not sanctioned by the Government of Japan. At no time in Trumans journals did he mention "Proving to the USSR" this is a myth.
Please cite where you can find that Japan was wanting peace. Japan was at war with Russia as well and Russia was attacking them in the north territories. Your history is revisionist and WRONG
Japan surrendered to the US because the USSR declared war on August 9th on Japan and invaded Manchuria heading towards the Japanese mainland. Japan knew the USSR would not allow japans emperor to stay in power. The Americans wanted Japan to surrender before the USSR could get to Japan to have a say in how Japan would be dealt with after the war. So President Truman gave the go ahead to use the new weapon. The Japanese hurried to surrender to the US believing the terms of surrender would be better for them and their Emperor . The atomic bombings ended up being a big exclamation point ending the war. The surrender of Japan to the US before an invasion of mainland Japan saved millions of lives on both sides. There was a third bomb ready and another would be ready a week later. So many people wouldn’t exist today had that awful war continued.
Your right about the Soviets but the nukes were mostly the reason cause had they continued the war they would've said goodbye to their existence but the military vowed to continue the war trying to sacrifice everyone like robots in their millions but the emperor knew it was time to 🛑 gambling and surrender ending his people's sufferings also knowing they didn't stand a chance against Russia who would of massacred them like nanking.
@@Yk1000- True the Japanese according to hx felt they would get a better deal from the Americans and didn't want to fight the Russians not having the war resources...
For the delay on Tinian with the scientist Robert Serber who wanted to get a chute instead a life raft before boarding to the 'Big Stink' piloted by Maj. James Hopkins. In result of this the 'Big Stink' did not arrive to the rendezvous point and arapproximately 50 minutes were lost. May be this was a real cause that Sweeney decided to drop the secondary target Nagasaki because the weather turned bad over the primary target and of course this became a big luck for Kokura.

The decisions of the visions of using the ultimate weapons of mass destruction also revealed the depth of the kind of mentality that saw in their testing that the vision of using the ultimate weapons of mass destruction were going to be used against the Japanese people and their Country. Pearl Harbor was the justification for the vision to become a reality, and since the vision consisted of two weapons of mass destruction, the word justification was said and is still being used .
Russia defeated Japan twice, in 1939 and 1945. US defeated it once in 1945 as they let Japanese forces spread all over the Pacific on numerous islands too weak to face the Imperial Japanese Forces.
I have yet to see one of these "deep dives" into the Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that talks about what our alternative was. Invasion of the Japanese Mainland. Google Operation Downfall - the working name for the plan they had developed. Remember, the military men who came up with this plan had been fighting Japan for over 3 years. They took the lessons we learned in the Island campaign, including Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and built the best plan they could. It called for 2 million US and allied troops to land on the main island of Japan. They estimated over 700k allied casualties. They estimated the losses for Japan (including civilians) to be over 1 million. That was the alternative to bombing Japan into surrender. I'm glad Truman dropped those bombs.
Not A-bombings but Russia`s declaration of war against Japan ended World War II. Even without A-bombings, Japanese leaders knew Japan`s defeat was unavoidable, and they expected the Soviet Union to work as a mediator between the the United States and Japan. But Russia annulled Russo-Japanese Nonaggression Pact in August 8th, 1945, and this was Japan`s last straw.
The reason why USA bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki is, first Japanese tried to expend its empire in most of the Asian countries like Korea, Manchuria but USA did not want Japanese to expend its empire and become powerful like themselves so they gave economic sanction to Japanese and also Japanese was facing economic crisis and asked USA for supplying resources that he needs but USA refused, that Time, Japanese bombed pearl harbor in Hawaii, which was the head quarter of USA supplies, in return, USA bombed the two cities which were Hiroshima and Nagasaki...
@Jleed989 ok, the war came to Papua New Guinea in 1942 when Japanese bombed Rabaul, on the other hand, the war continued in Europe between Russia (ussr)France, Britian and Italy but Italy surrendered on 1943,however in Papua New Guinea Japanese fought against Australia, News Zealand, and United States of America. But was defeated due to the bombing of two cities which usually supplies food and weapons and unfortunately Japanese surrendered in East sepik on 2nd September 1945..

Our neighbor's cheek was scarred from the Nagasaki blast, but at her son's funeral I found out she was born in California. I asked her son why was she in Japan at that time? She went to Nagasaki to care for her grandparents and married a Japanese serviceman who was killed. Her baby was born mentally challenged from the fallout and never came to America. She was the sweetest lady you would ever want to know; she passed away from cancer in the mid 1970's. Never does much time pass without remembering Mildred Shimasaki. RIP

My father was at Sea & was able to see the second bomb go off at Nagasaki. To those who don't fully understand why the bombs were dropped. My father explained that every man, woman & child would die for their Emperor. Not only every Japanese would die but a lot more American Soldier's would die if they had to invade. Which they were preparing to do. After Nagasaki was hit Japan still wasn't going to surrender. My Dad said Truman sent the Emperor (Hirohito) a Telegraph stating that Tokyo was next but with a bigger yield.
It was then the Emperor stepped in & over threw the 6 Generals in charge. My father said he didn't care if every Japanese died. He didn't want anymore US soldier to die. He said a lot of great men died already. Including his best friend who was torn in half on the ships 🚢 deck from a Kamikaze Airplane ✈ hitting & skidding across the deck.

Applaud your father. But war is stupid. How many more die over nothing? I mean we're the worst of creatures. When the world understands that different cultures operates differently everything will change
Yeah that’s what the US government and warhawks have said for decades. But I highly doubt that every Japanese citizen would’ve sacrificed their life for the emperor. No matter how powerful or beloved someone is, there’s always gonna be citizens who don’t like them or believe in the war. Also, the US may’ve been justified in attacking Japan but the amount of force we used was at the very least excessive and at most a war crime. The US lost 2403 soldiers in Pearl Harbor and Japan lost 240,000 just from the 2 atomic bombs alone.

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are famous, but other than that, many of Japan's major cities have been burned by air raids.
For example, the bombing of Tokyo on March 10, 1945 killed 100,000 people, many of whom were not properly buried and still remain underground in Tokyo. Therefore, it can be said that Tokyo, which is prospering now, is a huge graveyard.
The incendiary bomb dropped by the B29 contained gasoline and was effective in burning up a wooden Japanese house. The attack method was to drop a bomb on the outer circumference of the city, surround it with fire and prevent the citizens inside from escaping, and burned 100,000 people to death. In this way, by the end of the war, more than one million civilians had died.
I knew about these fire bombings but not this "The attack method was to drop a bomb on the outer circumference of the city, surround it with fire and prevent the citizens inside from escaping...". Yet, no one on the winning side was ever judged for war crimes... German accounts reveal that the US liked to do two 2 bombing raids in a row, so that the 2nd would also kill those coming to rescue victims of the 1st one. And they had bombs that exploded with delays so that the damage yet continued. All in civilian populated areas BTW. Some will say "yeah yeah THEY deserved it" as if all citizens are deserving of what their governments did. At least don't lecture others on war crimes.
@@MVProfitsThe Victors always get to write the history. Not surprised, war crimes, especially in a war as large as WW2 are commonly committed by both sides. The bombing of Dresden, in Germany I thought was unnecessary. The war was nearing the end, yet the allies decided to go ahead with it. I believe at least over 50,000 died in that attack.
Don’t forget, this was after 10+ years of Japanese attacks, and tens of millions of civilian deaths outside of Japan, because of Japan.
Despite the hundreds of thousands already dead in Tokyo from fire bombing the city was lucky it didn't get nuked as well cause there would have been nothing left of Tokyo plus america had no more bombs left well I think they weren't ready so lucky I guess
@@MVProfits Soldiers don't fall out of the sky. They come from the people. They came from Japanese families, homes and schools. Had there been different Japanese persons in those soldiers' shoes, do you think anything would have turned out differently? I don't think so. The people as a whole are responsible for what their country's military does during wars.
On August 6 and 9, 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombings killed between 150,000 and 246,000 people, most of them civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in armed conflict. Japan surrendered to the Allies on August 15, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war against Japan and invasion of Japanese-occupied Manchuria. The Japanese government signed an instrument of surrender on September 2, effectively ending the war. In the final year of World War II, the Allies prepared for a costly invasion of mainland Japan. This effort began with conventional bombing and firebombing campaigns that destroyed 64 Japanese cities. The war in the European theater ended when Germany surrendered on 8 May 1945, and the Allies turned their full attention to the Pacific War. By July 1945, the Allied Manhattan Project had produced two types of atomic bombs: the "Little Boy", an enriched uranium-type fission weapon, and the "Fat Man", a plutonium-type explosive nuclear weapon. The United States Air Force's 509th Composite Group trained and equipped with a special Silverplate version of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, and deployed to Tinian in the Mariana Islands. The Allies called for the unconditional surrender of the Imperial Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration of 26 July 1945, the alternative being "immediate and total destruction". The Japanese government ignored these two words.
British approval was obtained for the bombing, as required by the Treaty of Quebec, and orders were issued on July 25 by General Thomas Handy, acting chief of staff of the United States Army, for atomic bombs to be used against Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagasaki. This target was chosen because it is a large urban area which also has important military facilities. On August 6, Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima. Three days later, a Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki. Over the next two to four months, the impact of the atomic bombs killed 90,000 to 166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000 to 80,000 people in Nagasaki; about half occur on the first day. For months afterward, many people continued to die from burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, plus disease and malnutrition. Although Hiroshima had great military power, most of the dead were civilians.
Scholars have studied extensively the impact of the bombings on the social and political character of world history and subsequent popular culture, and there remains much debate regarding the ethical and legal justification for the bombings. According to its supporters, the atomic bomb was necessary to end the war with minimal casualties and ultimately prevent greater loss of life; according to critics, the bombing was unnecessary to end the war and constituted a war crime, giving rise to moral and ethical implications. Little Boy was the name of a type of atomic bomb used in the bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 during World War II, making it a weapon The first nuclear weapon used in war. The bomb was dropped by a Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay piloted by Col. Paul W. Tibbets Jr., commander of the 509th Composite Group, and Capt. Robert A. Lewis. The explosion had a force of about 15 kilotons of TNT (63 TJ) and had a blast radius of about 1.3 kilometers, causing widespread deaths throughout the city. The bombing of Hiroshima was the second nuclear explosion in history, following the Trinity Little Boy nuclear test developed by Lieutenant Commander Francis Birch's group at Manhattan's Los Alamos Project Laboratory during World War II, a reworking of the abandoned Thin Man nuclear bomb. Like the Skinny Man, this is a pistol type cleavage weapon. His explosive power is derived from the nuclear fission of uranium-235, while the Thin Man is based on the fission of plutonium-239. Fission is achieved by firing a hollow cylinder ("bullet") at a solid cylinder of the same material ("target") using nitrocellulose propellant powder. Little Boy contains 64 kilograms (141 lb) of highly enriched uranium, although less than one kilogram has undergone nuclear fission. The components were made in three different factories so no one has a complete copy of the design. In contrast to explosive design, which required sophisticated coordination of explosive shapes, the weapon type design was considered almost certain to succeed and was never tested before its first use on Hiroshima.
After the war, many additional components for the Little Boy bomb were created. By 1950, only five complete weapons had been built, and these weapons were discontinued in November 1950. Little Boy was developed by Lieutenant Commander Francis Birch's team at the Manhattan Project's Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II, reworking their Thin Man nuclear bomb which is abandoned. Like Thin Man, he is a pistol type cleavage weapon. It derives its explosive power from the nuclear fission of uranium-235, while the Thin Man is based on the fission of plutonium-239. Fission is achieved by shooting a hollow cylinder ("bullet") at a solid cylinder of the same material ("target") using nitrocellulose propellant powder. Little Boy contains 64 kilograms (141 lb) of highly enriched uranium, although less than one kilogram undergoes nuclear fission. The components were created in three different factories so that no one would have a copy of the complete design. Unlike the burst design, which required sophisticated alignment of the shaped explosive charge, the gun-type design was considered almost guaranteed to work so it was never tested before its first use at Hiroshima.
After the war, many components for additional Little Boy bombs were built. By 1950, only five complete guns had been built, and these had been completed by November 1950.

Been back and forth on the issue for many years, but Frank's "Downfall" clarified the issue.
Only Japan could have ended the war and (unless someone comes up with a realistic alternative) the nukes were, in fact, the most humane choice. Hirohito had to decide that enough of his subjects had died (ignoring the deaths caused by 'his subjects') to end the war. The nukes did that, and post-war readings suggest he did so as he might have been next in line.
Truly a Sad point in human history, But Then,So is war.
Exactly, war is never pretty or fair. There's something evil about this world we live in. it's crazy.
Both this and part 1 of the documentary are fair and accurate depictions of this period of history. Very worthwhile watching. It is tragic that Japanese governments since 1945 have continued to deny the war crimes committed by that country in China, Korea, the Phillipines, South East Asia and other countries by Japanese forces during the War and earlier and refused to apologise formally and compensate the millions of people (mostly civilians) who were killed, tortured and maimed by Japanes born since that time, or even admit these crimes to the generations of Japanese born since that time.

Try watching videos on unit 731
The USA nuked two Japanese cities because Russia was just about to invade Japan and take it over. Also, US wanted to test their two different kinds of nuclear bombs (uranium and plutonium) on civilian populations while there was still a war going on. The Japanese would have surrendered before the nukes if America had agreed to let them keep their Emperor in place. But no, the Americans refused to do that -- but only until right AFTER they nuked the two cities. America allowed Emperor Hirohito to retain his throne and duties for the rest of his life, which ended in 1989.
Also, the actual Japanese war criminals of Unit 731 in Manchuria were allowed to go free and were PAID by the Americans for the reports of their atrocities. Those war criminals went on to have long, successful careers as doctors in Japan. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians were killed by American nukes and in hundreds of firebombing attacks that nobody seems to know about
How was Russia going to invade Japan? They didn't have a navy. They could have kept taking land in Manchuria, but that was it
On Aug 6, the Red Army had not moved. And the Great Artiste took off before the Red Army moved. And no, Japan was not on the verge of surrender. Even after two nukes, the Big Six were still split 50/50.
watch the video "no, we didnt have to nuke japan"
None of what you wrote is true
Conditional surrender was not acceptable because that leads to a WWI situation. The Japanese had to be totally defeated. If America looked like they were going to accept conditional surrender Japan would say that indicates weakness and continue the war.
Before he finally died at the ripe old age of 92, Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the plane who a-bombed Hiroshima, killing around 200,000 civilians, was selling a 'Little Boy Bomb Replica signed by Pilot and Navigator of the Enola Gay,' for $350 plus $15 for shipping and handling. The blue bomb replica was lovingly 'hand crafted from solid mahogany,' 1/12 scale, approx. 10 inches long.

THE DEPARTMENT OF WARS 😅
Stalin, as he promised to Churchill and FDR in 1943 in Teheran, entered the war against Japan 8 August 1945, two days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. 1.6 million strong Soviet forces in Manchuria at the war theater bigger than the size of Western Europe, defeated one million strong The Kwantung Army - Japanese were retreating in fear and surrendering. Red Army defeated The Kwantung Army in two weeks. There are interesting accounts of Japanese POW where they explain that Japanese soldiers could not mount a resistance against Russian because they had some sort of mystical fear of Russians that they had not felt when fighting Americans.
There was a fight over naming of Bock’s Car. The pilot wanted to name the plane as many other pilots had. As mission leader, the choice was his. The pilot protested to higher ups, who ignored the protest. As a result, the name was not painted on the plane. A more proper and fully prepared story most likely exists elsewhere.
Many Americans viewed the atomic bombings as a form of retaliation for the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, which had deeply angered the American public. (The debate continues)
Japan surrendered due to this second bomb ...
Mistaken bulls**t
No they surrendered because MacArthur sent a message on a private channel to the emperor shortly after the bomb dropped. He stated he was going to "-put Japan in a full nelson."
No they didn’t it was because the Soviet Union declared war on Japan just before the second bomb and invaded Manchuria
No they surrended because Russia officially declared war on Japan, and knew they'd be fucked.
Well, everyone here is wrong (but partly right).
In fact it was a combination of the bombs AND the change in Russian policy towards Japan, and its subsequent sweep into Manchuria.
1) without Russian intervention, the Japanese may or may not have surrendered eventually. But surely a third atomic bomb WAS going to be dropped, and the more bombs dropped, the more the argument (made by a few in the Japanese high command) that the US only had "two or three" of these bombs was rendered doubtful. Of course, the truth is that up to this point there WERE only three cores, and two had already been used... one at Trinity, and one at Nagasaki. But then again, more cores were already being readied, as they were also meant to possibly be used in the invasion... so in time, more of Japan could have been nuked. No one can say what this realization, or at least the thought of it, might have done to the minds of the various Japanese leaders... especially the emperor.
2) without the atomic bombings, but WITH a Russian invasion into Manchuria... there is little reason to think that the Japanese would have simply capitulated out of fear of communism and Russian invasion of the home islands. The Japanese already knew an Allied invasion (of Americans/British/Australians etc.) was coming. They were willing to face it and take as many Allies with them as they could. Russia in itself, then, was hardly any scarier a proposition to these people who were willing to commit mass suicide of their entire nation rather than admit defeat. Russia's entrance into the war simply removed their hope for a negotiated settlement, and meant that an invasion was thus certain. Of course, there is also the consideration that Russia was not well equipped for a sea-borne invasion of the kind that the US and UK were well-practiced at, and the Japanese knew this. At most Russia could hope to get a foothold on Hokkaido... but a full scale invasion of Honshu by the USSR was highly unlikely. Long before that, the invasion of Japan proper by the Allies would have begun.
It was the realization that they were facing total destruction on all sides, with no hope, that finally made the Japanese---and particularly the emperor--realize that all was lost.
People who think it was only the bombs, or only the Russians... do not understand the kind of fanaticism that gripped the Japanese leadership at that time. These are people who literally allowed countless thousands upon thousands of their citizens die not only in the atomic bombings but in the regular fire bombings of their cities... and all for the sake of their insane code of Bushido.
In May this year I completed a radiation therapy involving brief, about five minutes each, whole of brain radiation for five times a week for four weeks. After I wondered if what I am experiencing in terms of radiation sickness might be something like what people on the fringes of the fallout zone might have experienced. I am assuming the medical folk involved in my treatment would not have subjected me to anything other than “safe” levels of radiation but I have to say “safe” does not necessarily mean harmless.

My stepmoms, stepdad was one of the navigators in one of the planes that dropped the bombs. I dont remember which plane he was in but im sure those guys didnt talk about it.
My Uncles my mother's brothers were detained in internment camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor they finally were allowed to go and fight in Europe with the 442 go for broke regiment ❤
I taught school with a Japanese woman, wonderful person, whose family was living in Hawaii during the attack on Pearl Harbor. They all were moved to an intermit camp in Arizona. She was a little girl at the time. A most horrible experience 😢.
I wonder how the pilots and the crew felt after these missions.

The bombs ended the pacific war, did they not?
War is so sensless. Tens of thousands of innocent people who did nothing to anyone just gone in an instant.
But why did US lease that on civilian

I like how some of the generals names are still around today like Suzuki and Toyota there legacy lives on making cars and motorcycles
those suzuki and toyota (as men) for cars and other vehicles were not generals. they just provide war machines.

Those two A-bomb attacks most likely were not necessary. With the USSR's invasion of Manchuria and with Truman's acceptance of the Japanese condition of amnesty for the Emperor, Japan would probably have surrendered without the A-bomb attacks. But we will never know for sure because Truman refused to wait a week or two before nuking Japan. He jumped the gun, so to speak, and gave away the USA's advantage in nuclear developement. Now, we are all paying the price, and there is no turning back.
Pearl Harbour had to be avenged to send a strong message
I feel so bad for all the families and kids there rip

Can you imagine that entire families and bloodlines were all wiped off the face of earth when this happen making it to where i imagine that there are alot of still missing or unknown deaths even to today
Imagine the feeling those pilots had once they released the bomb? Jesus
Paul Tibbits said he slept very well. I have seen many interviews of the crew of these planes, all said they were honored to be part of this.
Relief. Gen. Paul Tibbits when asked, "Are you proud of what you did" answered, "Yes I am" (source: Atonic Heritage Foundation). Remember the invasion of Okinawa resulted in 50,000 US casualties and 250,000 Japanese killed. Invading the "home island" would have meany 10 times that number on both sides.

Vice versa
To all the idiots criticizing the U.S. for their bombings of the war, let me ask you something, ever heard of the battle of Stalingrad? The first stage saw German forces advance into the city and occupying the city within two weeks. Over 2.4 million Soviets died in the first stage of the battle and is often called, ‘the meat grinding of the east’ as Soviet soldiers were pitted against the new German MG42 machine gun, trailblazer to the modern mini guns, and their new Tiger 1 heavy tanks which could decimate any Soviet tank at the time from virtually any distance. Russian veterans often recount that their comrades would literally explode from the MG42 insane rate of fire at 1,500 rounds per minute, it was the fastest firing infantry weapon in the world at the time. “My friends turned into pasteurized meat” said Vasily Zeytsev. Stalingrad was the single largest battle of not just the war, but in world history. Imagine 5 million soldiers perished in the matter of months and their families and friends hoping for their safe return. That would’ve been the case if the U.S. did the land invasion of Japan. The atomic bombs saved hundreds of thousands of American lives and tens of millions of Soviet and Japanese lives. Let’s not also forget when Japan started their holocaust in 1933 by the Shanghai and Nanking massacres which killed 5 times more people than both atomic bombs combined… and in a much slower, and brutal fashion
Japan messed around and found out 🤷
How many crimes have this people committed against humanity when a man's life is measured less than a gallon of oil
USSR was on Japan's doorstep about to invade it. This was relayed to Japan. The prospect was unthinkable so they decided to rather capitulate to the US.
Ok sure whatever you want to believe, but the Russians weren't going to be invading Japan. The Japanese knew this.
The Russian's entire strategy was based on heavy weapons ... tanks and artillery. They had zero transports or landing craft and had never done an amphibious landing.
@@MrTexasDanRussia declared war on Japan in August of 1945. So, by your logic the Russian's were just going to just sit there and stare at the Japanese with a menacing look on their feces, I mean, their faces?
@@MrTexasDan Stalin, as he promised to Churchill and FDR in 1943 in Teheran, Soviet Union entered the war against Japan 8 August 1945, two days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. 1.6 million strong Soviet forces in Manchuria at the war theater bigger than the size of Western Europe defeated one million strong The Kwantung Army - Japanese were retreating in fear and surrendering. Red Army defeated The Kwantung Army in two weeks.
@@YThome7 Ya, ok, but this has precisely nothing to do with invading Japan. Do try to stay on subject please.
Приятно когда есть люди которые знают историю!Эти бомбешки Хиросимы и Нагасаки были преступлением@@YThome7
World War II indeed ended because it was the USSR who declared war to Japan in 1945 but USSR not longer exist.
Sure. They changed their name and put in power a former KGB agent hell bent on recreating the USSR. He thinks he owns Alaska and half of Europe.
To listen to the Japanese emperors surrender speech. He's specifically mentioned an infernal new weapon which was the atomic bomb. He didn't say, the Russians invaded. He didn't say his cities were fire bombed. He didn't say his Navy was sunk. He specifically mentioned the atomic bomb. His speech is here on UA-cam.
The Japanese as early as 1944 had been attempting to sue for peace with the US and had enlisted the Russian embassy to appeal on their behalf (the US had a no-communication policy in effect with Japan) but to no avail. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were civilian targets with women, children and old men left after most of its young men had died in combat. We've sanitized one of the most heinous acts in human history and covered the fact the US wanted Russia and China to know it had the big stick and was willing to use it..... even Robert Oppenheimer came to understand he'd opened up Pandora's Box and tried to warn Truman of the folly of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, thus destroying his career and isolating him within the broader science community for the rest of his life. A true reflection of world history being written by the winners :(
BS!
Don't attack another country, and expect treatment with kid's gloves.
I totally agree with you.The ostensible purpose of this United States to drop A-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was to urge Japan to accept the Potsdam Declaration or unconditional surrender. As a result, US military forces did not need to land on Japanese mainland. So a lot of American lives as well as Japanese civilians were spared. A lot of American people still believe that A-bombings are tragic but necessary evil to minimize casualties.
However, leaders of both the United States and Imperial Japan knew Imperial army could not fight to the last ditch on Japanese mainland. When Imperial Navy was annihilated at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October, 1944, Japanese leaders had to recognize that Japan`s defeat was inevitable, and their objective was to capitulate to the United States under favorable conditions as possible. Imperial Japan expected the Soviet Union to work as a mediator between the United States and Japan since Japan singed the Russo-Japanese Non-Aggression Pact.
But the Soviet Union annulled the Russo-Japanese Non-Aggression Pact on August 9th, 1945 when the second A-bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, and declared a war against Imperial Japan. This was the last straw for Japan, and finally she decided to accept unconditional surrender.
If Red Army did not assaulted the Kwantung Army in Manchukuo, Imperial Japan would never accept the Potsdam Declaration even if third and fourth A-bombs were dropped.
The real objective of the United States to drop A-bombs on Japan was to intimidate Stalin and the Soviet Union. After World War II, it was believed that the Unites States would enter the Cold War era against the Soviet Union, and American military officers were astonished Russian aggressiveness and their excellent weapons after the fall of Berlin. So it was crucial for the United States to demonstrate their military edge to Russians. Therefore, A-bombings on Japan was unnecessary.
Are you kidding me!!! We saved millions of lives its called sacrifice. That's why you'll never be in a position of power. Even the Japanese know better than that
these were attempts by low level officials who were not sanctioned by the Government of Japan. At no time in Trumans journals did he mention "Proving to the USSR" this is a myth.
Please cite where you can find that Japan was wanting peace. Japan was at war with Russia as well and Russia was attacking them in the north territories. Your history is revisionist and WRONG
Prim minister Suzuki? Admiral Toyota??
Japan surrendered to the US because the USSR declared war on August 9th on Japan and invaded Manchuria heading towards the Japanese mainland. Japan knew the USSR would not allow japans emperor to stay in power. The Americans wanted Japan to surrender before the USSR could get to Japan to have a say in how Japan would be dealt with after the war. So President Truman gave the go ahead to use the new weapon. The Japanese hurried to surrender to the US believing the terms of surrender would be better for them and their Emperor . The atomic bombings ended up being a big exclamation point ending the war. The surrender of Japan to the US before an invasion of mainland Japan saved millions of lives on both sides. There was a third bomb ready and another would be ready a week later. So many people wouldn’t exist today had that awful war continued.
True this was Stalin s agreement at the Tehran conference. Russia fights Japan after Germanies defeat in Europe.
history lesson for some people here.
Your right about the Soviets but the nukes were mostly the reason cause had they continued the war they would've said goodbye to their existence but the military vowed to continue the war trying to sacrifice everyone like robots in their millions but the emperor knew it was time to 🛑 gambling and surrender ending his people's sufferings also knowing they didn't stand a chance against Russia who would of massacred them like nanking.

@@Yk1000- True the Japanese according to hx felt they would get a better deal from the Americans and didn't want to fight the Russians not having the war resources...

Big stink never showed up
For the delay on Tinian with the scientist Robert Serber who wanted to get a chute instead a life raft before boarding to the 'Big Stink' piloted by Maj. James Hopkins. In result of this the 'Big Stink' did not arrive to the rendezvous point and arapproximately 50 minutes were lost. May be this was a real cause that Sweeney decided to drop the secondary target Nagasaki because the weather turned bad over the primary target and of course this became a big luck for Kokura.
I know that thousands of American lives were spared, but still feel sick watching this😢

Hey the Japs shouldn't have bombed Pearl Harbor. Good work Harry Truman, good work.
The development of the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb and the race of people who definitely were and are white European people called Americans .
The decisions of the visions of using the ultimate weapons of mass destruction also revealed the depth of the kind of mentality that saw in their testing that the vision of using the ultimate weapons of mass destruction were going to be used against the Japanese people and their Country. Pearl Harbor was the justification for the vision to become a reality, and since the vision consisted of two weapons of mass destruction, the word justification was said and is still being used .
Russia defeated Japan twice, in 1939 and 1945. US defeated it once in 1945 as they let Japanese forces spread all over the Pacific on numerous islands too weak to face the Imperial Japanese Forces.
But death toll of the Red Army in Nomonhan Incident in 1939 was much higher than Imperial Army.
Really? Wow...
I have yet to see one of these "deep dives" into the Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that talks about what our alternative was. Invasion of the Japanese Mainland. Google Operation Downfall - the working name for the plan they had developed. Remember, the military men who came up with this plan had been fighting Japan for over 3 years. They took the lessons we learned in the Island campaign, including Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and built the best plan they could. It called for 2 million US and allied troops to land on the main island of Japan. They estimated over 700k allied casualties. They estimated the losses for Japan (including civilians) to be over 1 million. That was the alternative to bombing Japan into surrender. I'm glad Truman dropped those bombs.
They had to get it $2,000,000,000 back then. Poor animals it was tested on I feel sorry for . Not that Japanese govt
Wow! Science is amazing!
I think there could be another method to end the war
"REALLY", name it?
Not A-bombings but Russia`s declaration of war against Japan ended World War II. Even without A-bombings, Japanese leaders knew Japan`s defeat was unavoidable, and they expected the Soviet Union to work as a mediator between the the United States and Japan. But Russia annulled Russo-Japanese Nonaggression Pact in August 8th, 1945, and this was Japan`s last straw.
The reason why USA bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki is, first Japanese tried to expend its empire in most of the Asian countries like Korea, Manchuria but USA did not want Japanese to expend its empire and become powerful like themselves so they gave economic sanction to Japanese and also Japanese was facing economic crisis and asked USA for supplying resources that he needs but USA refused, that Time, Japanese bombed pearl harbor in Hawaii, which was the head quarter of USA supplies, in return, USA bombed the two cities which were Hiroshima and Nagasaki...
USA already admitted that Pearl Harbor was a false flag operation
Well what happened in 1942 - 1944? Some gaps in your narrative
@Jleed989 ok, the war came to Papua New Guinea in 1942 when Japanese bombed Rabaul, on the other hand, the war continued in Europe between Russia (ussr)France, Britian and Italy but Italy surrendered on 1943,however in Papua New Guinea Japanese fought against Australia, News Zealand, and United States of America. But was defeated due to the bombing of two cities which usually supplies food and weapons and unfortunately Japanese surrendered in East sepik on 2nd September 1945..
