The nuclear bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during ww2. The first bomb dropped was known as “little boy” on the city of Hiroshima on august the 6th 1945 followed by the detonation of the second bomb known as "Fat Man" over Nagasaki on August 9.
The cause of this outbreak of devastating bomb attacks was due to the continuous come back of Japan during the war. America was trying to put an immediate end to the war which they succeeded in doing in just a few days
These nuclear bombs left lasting impressions on both the environment and on human’s lives. Not only were hundreds and thousands of people killed but the radiation left in the atmosphere affects the growth of life in both Nagasaki and Hiroshima to this day. In total 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki were killed.
In order to prevent another incident like such from happening in the years to come, the United Nations developed an agreement between all countries worldwide that is not permitted to be in position of any nuclear device.
My personal opinion concerning the usage of nuclear energy is that I think towards the environment and atmosphere as far as global warming and pollution is concerned it is a very bad idea. But there again all our recourses such as coal and oil which is most commonly used for energy purposes. is running out and is on a extreme shortage. So in this case I don’t think it would be such a bad idea to develop nuclear energy to help provide for our large populations
