This page is for Carson Mccoy. During WW2 us scientist made an atomic bomb, but we did not know the purposes of this weapon. We particularly made this bomb in order to beat the Soviet Union to it and did not plan to kill thousands of people. It is wrong to end the life of so many even in the time of war. Hiroshima ended up having 66,000 people killed, and 69,00 injured. Nagaski had 39,000 people killed and 25,000 injured in the bombing. This shocking toll of deaths and injuries were un-required and many of the Japanese were just citizens. On August 6th, 1945 was the day President Harry S. Truman decided to drop the bomb on Hiroshima. The aircraft carrier that launched the attack and dropped the bombs was the Enola Gay. A few days after on the 9th the next bomb was dropped, but this time on Nagaski. The deaths and casualties were bad and also it ended up leaving a huge mess of the environment. Now the U.S. President just wanted to end this long and devastating war, but did it take this many deaths? Us scientist mainly think that it would have been easier to negotiate with the Japanese. They were already losing the war and had already lost 60 of their cities from other conventional bombings. Yet we still decided to continue our assaults. When we did want their unconditional surrender they declined, but if the United States had just been willing to negotiate, the war could of ended in a more peaceful way. Also this should not have been done because the U.S. was angry for getting Pearl Harbor bombed. Those deaths did not amount up to the ones we caused, and our actions should not have been done out of spite. Not done but working on it.
