Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Hiroshima and Nagasaki : Our story begins with the Second World War. This war started in the year 1939 when Hitler annexed the country of Poland and one by one many other countries were pushed into this war. World War 2 is being fought between two big alliances. On one side were Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Japan, which are called Axis Powers, and on the other side, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, which are called Elite Powers or League. Countries like France and China were also included in the alliance, but in the beginning America was trying its best
Hiroshima and Nagasaki Why USA destroyed Japan:
That it should not become: A part of this war, after the useless experience of the First World War, America had thought that whatever happens in Europe and Asia, it is not going to interfere with it, it should keep its hands off, but in the year 1941, when Pearl Harbor in Japan After that he too was forced to get involved in this war but Japan on Sunday A state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Temple. Here it is very important to understand things from the context of Japan because whenever World War 2 is talked about
So often we focus the most on: Germany and Hitler, we do not talk much about Japan, in fact we have talked about Imperialism being seen in Japan in the early 1900s in the same way as Britain, France and many other European countries. They were beginning to occupy and colonize them. Japan was also doing the same thing. Just like India was a part of the British Empire, similarly till 1940, all these countries were within Japan, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, many eastern areas of China, North Korea, South Korea. Japanese umpire was in possession
These Japanese colonizers used to: Alk about Greater Asia that we will create an Asia that will be united but all this was just talk in reality and like the colonizers, they used to occupy the land to exploit the resources so that they could get profits themselves. Some actions were taken economically. If taken, America actually stops exporting them to Japan, copper, iron and steel are essential resources and puts a ban on it, thinking that Japan will stop the expansion after seeing this, it will sit quietly but this does not happen.
In response: America actually stopped selling oil to the Japanese. In those times, oil was actually a very important resource for the Japanese people and 80% of the oil that came to Japan came from America. America said that we would accept only one condition. But we will start giving oil back to you if you first withdraw from the area of China you have occupied and break your alliance with Germany and Italy, but doing this meant that the Japanese people had their dreams of creating Greater Asia. The Japanese Emperor thought, ‘Brother, you are flooding America, we should adopt some other path’
They saw that oil and other: Resources are available well here from the areas of Malaysia and Indonesia. In the elections, they can take control over the areas and there will be no need to extract oil on their own and then there will be no need to be dependent on America, but Indonesia had just one problem. Indonesia at that time was Dutch East Indies and was under the control of Duck and Malaysia at that time was British Malay was under the control of British British and Touch both were Alice of America
If these countries were also: Attacked then it meant that America can attack us because America’s friends are being attacked. It may be better not to attack America but after that we will attack which is what America did by occupying the Philippines. If we had kept it colonized, then America will definitely attack us back because we are America’s territory, our Philips is left with us, we will occupy all these areas and colonize them, but if in this case America attacks us, then silence them. America is already stronger than us.
If there is a long war: We will lose, but if we secretly go and attack America’s military base, we will blow up all their fighter planes, what will happen to all the ships, then how will they attack us? Seventh with this thinking. On December 1941, Japan makes a surprise attack on its Pearl Harbor base. More than 350 Japanese Navy care crafts attack, bombs fall and within two hours, 19 ships of that Navy, 1888 military aircraft and more than 2000 people of that military. are killed
A few hours later: Japan goes and im mediately captures the Philippines, but realistically,
it was a very stupid thing: That Japan did. Children think like this, look, I will go and kill them first so that they do not beat me. And then I go and capture their territory and because they said that they will not interfere in the war, hence I am safe but obviously if you capture the territory of a big country like that, you will attack their military base and then expect that If he remains silent, this will not happen. Obviously, in response to this, America officially declares that now it too is coming to war.
And America starts a War against Japan. This was the point when America officially got involved in World War 2. After this, Britain and China also start a war against Japan and seeing this happening, Nath ji Germany and Italy also declare war against it. If we do it three days later, by the end of 1941, World War 2 was in full swing. All these big countries had declared votes against each other. After this, without going into much detail of the actual war, Italy surrendered by 1943. Hitler commits suicide on 30th April 1945
Shoot yourself and after that: Germany also surrenders, then only Japan is left among the Access Powers which has not surrendered. Despite the continuous losses, the Japanese Emperor is not ready to surrender. On this point, in some details of Japanese fascism. It will be very interesting to know, what was the real thing, friends, the Japanese general public was being brainwashed in a huge way. There was a Maharaj in Japan, the Japanese Emperor was his hero, he was a hero, he was told to the people.
That this Emperor is God’s gift: Literary people used to compare him with God, so believe whatever he says blindly, if you don’t then you are against our country. If our Japanese Emperor has said that we will destroy these countries. We will go and occupy them and colonize them. We will do it for their good. They are right. We are going to war for a good purpose. Whoever opposed the war was actually shut down in Japan. were killed by
Apart from this, there were someL: Japanese culture and traditions which were modified in a very dirty way. To give people an example, I gave them two samurai traditions. According to the tradition, samurai should always be aware of death. One should not look like others and should not be so afraid of death, but what did he tell the people by modifying this tradition? He said that a samurai is one who is ready to give up his life for the emperor.
One who thinks that giving: Up one’s life for the Emperor is the greatest thing for me and surrendering before the enemies is a message for me. If people are brainwashed in this way then people will be ready to give up their lives and this is what happened friend, the Japanese people were brainwashed. Went to carry out organized suicide attacks because a special military unit was formed in the Air Force for the purpose of which Cage was a pilot whose aim was that he would sit in his fighter jets and take the fighter jet and crush it in the worship of the enemies.
And they will sacrifice themselves: In simple words, it is suicide bombing. Not only this, children were trained to carry an explosive with them and lie down in front of the tank so that they can sacrifice their lives and also that of the tank. You can imagine that people were brainwashed to such an extent. Obviously not everyone was brainwashed. There is a very painful story that was heard from Kamika the pilot about how he used to cry the whole night before his mission and write letters. Were
They asked their families and: Themselves whether what they were going to do was really good, for their country, for themselves, for America and the rest of the country, and they were hoping that unemployment in Japan had increased so much because of the war. There is iron nearby, there is no food to eat, there is a lot of hunger, perhaps the common people of Japan have now stood up against their Emperor and will come in the sprayer to impress and surrender, but this never happened, because of these Karna, only one way remains. Full Scale be invaded
Japan means to overthrow: Tts military, its umpire, that is why America plans Operation Downfall. The last major battle fought between America and Japan was the Battle of Okinawa between 1st April 1945 and 22nd June 1945. If you look drunk, you will see the southern part of Japan. There is an island in the world ok keep salt America sends its military to go on ground and capture the physical island and any obstacle is in between
So he should be removed: After this we will do our full scale invasion. The battle of Operation Downfall kept America on alert. Japanese people were not ready to accept defeat. Every person was ready to fight till his last breath. Even the last remaining person started fighting till his last breath. There were continuous Kamini attacks, one suicide bomb after another, there was no question of Surendra, this meant that it was a very difficult task for the American forces to defeat the Japanese forces, that is why the Battle of Okinawa is called the Bloodiest Battle.
Whatever happened in the: Pacific, America won the battle but its cost was very heavy. 12000 American soldiers were killed, more than 50000 were injured. On the other hand, 110000 Japanese soldiers were killed. More of their inhabitants were killed. This meant that 14th population of the entire Ireland, 25% of the people gave up their lives. Hearing these statistics on the entire island, the American military heads thought that our Operation Downfall would not work in this manner, meaning perhaps if we use all our army. I will forgive all the people and it will work.
We will win but at some cost: 12000 people of our army were killed in this small Ireland alone. If we try to capture the rest of the islands, if Japan tries to defeat them on the ground in this manner, then how many more people will be killed by us? On top of that, it would be imaginable to think how many of their people will also be killed and this war will drag on for how many years because the Japanese people have become so brainwashed that they are not ready to surrender.
Some other method: Will have to be adopted here to make Japan surrender. On 12th April 1945, its President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had been its President for a long time, passes away during World War 2 and becomes Vice President Harry Truman. The new President of America now has all the responsibility of finding a solution in this war with Japan on his shoulders. Here we consider different options. If we try to negotiate with the Japanese Emperor, maybe that thing can be reduced but no, it will not work. It seems that because the Emperor will not surrender under any circumstances, he has already cleared this thing.
At the same time: They come to know about a top secret military project, the Manhattan Project, where many scientists are working secretly to make the world’s first atom bomb. This atom bomb is tested on July 16, 1945. New A bombing range in Mexico and the test turns out to be successful. Truman thinks he has found his solution. He and the rest of his top military officials and government heads discuss and decide how to drop the bomb.
One last warning should be: Given to Japan before its fall. 26 July 1945 Bharat Dum Declaration, its President, President of China, Prime Minister of Great Britain come together and demand unconditional surrender and give a warning to Japan that if Japan does not surrender, then The result will be prompt and irrevocable destruction, complete devastation without specifying what exactly is meant. The Japanese people did not even dream that a weapon like the atom bomb even existed in the world till this point of time. Said in July 1945 goes
That last word sentiment: Had increased a lot among the general public in Japan, people were getting worried, they were dying of hunger due to this constant fighting, there was a shortage of jobs, the economic condition was bad but he stood up and defended his own military and umpire. They could not fight against the Japanese unless the military supported them. The Japanese Emperor actually agreed to surrender when asked so that he could maintain his power and let some of the occupied territories actually remain within them, but America wanted unconditional surrender. Was
So, on 29th July 1945: India rejected the Declaration of Independence in Japan. After this, on 3rd August, President Harry Truman authorized that the atom bomb would be dropped on Japan. On 6th August 1945, the Going B29 aircraft passed over the city of Hiroshima. Little Boy Atom Bomb is a very ironic name for the world’s first atomic bomb, which was used by a small child in warfare. 8:15 This bomb is dropped on Hiroshima and America becomes the first and only country in the history of the world.
Those who were present in: Hiroshima on the day nuclear weapons were used and who survived the bombing, tell very painful stories. They say that at first they saw such a bright light flashing that many people became temporarily blind. After a terrible sound which was so loud that many survivors suffered permanent hearing loss, then the temperature of 4000 degree Celsius which was on the ground made people instantly disgusted and disturbing. All I can say is that people’s skin started to peel off. People were yearning for love.
About half an hour after: The last rain starts coming, due to thirst people thought that there is good news here but actually the toxic dust that was in the air got mixed with the moisture due to which clouds were formed. This was not a normal rain. Every drop of grease was black in color, it was dripping from the sky and it was very poisonous. Usually, whenever a disaster occurs, an ambulance reaches a city and doctors also reach there.
To help people, but: Here 90% of the health care workers were actually killed in the bomb blast. If so many hospitals were destroyed, then who would have helped the people? Among those who were not killed instantly, many of them actually died after a few days, a few months. Later, due to radiation sickness, I talked about it in detail. You can watch it in the Chernobyl video. If you want to understand in more detail, it is said that about this bomb blast, the staunch people of the Japanese military refused to even meet us. done
Without even holding: A meeting, he said that what big thing has happened, only one more bomb has fallen, it is a slightly bigger bomb, no one raises any question about Surendra, the Japanese Emperor still refused to surrender, in response it took three days. After Ninth August 1945, America drops another atom bomb, this time over Nagasaki. At around 11:00 in the morning, another Boeing B29 plane goes, this time it was an even more powerful bomb, its name was Fat Man, this bomb explodes in the sky. The mushroom cloud that forms becomes even bigger, immediately 4000 people are killed and a 6.7 square kilometer city is destroyed.
Although the atom bomb: Dropped was even more powerful, but this time there were many casualties. There are many reasons behind this. First of all, when the news of Hiroshima spread to other cities, pamphlets had already reached the people that something like this could happen in your city too. That’s why people wanted drums, people were better prepared, people went to the outskirt away from the center of the city, apart from this there were hills around the city.
Due to the hills: The impact of the explosion was ineffective. Hiroshima was flat, there were no hills, there were no hills, so the impact was more there. In total, two lakh people died in these two bombings. 95% of the people were actually civilians, it was the general public, wasn’t it? Military people, after this finally the Japanese Supreme Council meets to discuss Surendra. Finally, some people get scared that if we do not discuss Surendra, then America will keep dropping bombs on all our cities one by one, but many people sitting in the council are still is also completely against
When voting is done: Inside the council of Surendra, the result of voting is 33. Three people are in his favor and three people are against him. What should be done now? The Japanese Emperor is asked what is his opinion and finally he is now accepted as his Emperor. Let’s go to surrender. This atom bomb was not the only reason behind surrender. What was the real thing? Just a few hours before the bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, the Soviet Union had also attacked Japan in North China which was the Manchurian area. Which I had talked about earlier in the video, Japan had occupied it.
When the Soviet: Union attacks here and takes over this area, from one side Seuss bombs were being dropped on their lions, from the other side the Soviet Union was starting to attack them from above which is their occupied territory like Japan and South East. In Asia, people were feeling angry. These were the reasons why Emperor Hero Heaton finally decided to surrender. He decided not to surrender at all. Some military people in Japan were very angry with this.
He did not at all: Want that it should be Surendra, so an attempt is made to make a conspiracy against the Emperor but this well remains successful and on 15th August 1945, after this Surendra, the Second World War ends, finally after about seven years. They occupy Japan and their occupation continues till 1952 during which discussions are held as to what the conditions will be. Here Surendra, a new constitution is brought in Japan, democracy is established and the status of Emperor continues in Japan.
But he is made just a: Figure head, meaning in Japan even today you are the emperor but he is just there to eat, he has no power, he has no power, the cost of total destruction in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is 970 million dollars, but their rebuilding and Restoration starts almost immediately. Volunteers come from different cities to rebuild the cities. This is another story of how these cities are restored in such a wonderful way that you will not even know if you will visit there today. It would appear as if a nuclear bomb had once been dropped on these cities.
Obviously, the lives of: Those people who were affected by radiation are changed forever, they remain disabled, their children develop disabilities, the chances of getting cancer increases, but thankfully, the good news here is that the radiation levels. These are not as harmful in the long term. They are not as harmful as Chernobyl. After some time, a storm hits the city and after that time, the radiation levels fall down significantly. Another reason behind this is this.
That a nuclear bomb: Works very differently from a nuclear power plant, even after this I had done it in the Chernobyl video, but the biggest question that arises here is whether the perspective justified dropping the atomic bomb and killing two lakh people or the President of that Was this decision right or wrong? Today, answering the morality of this question is not as easy as you think. American President Hari True mother never apologized for warming and never showed any regret. Blessings never. The Course of Being Warped Balance I Wanted the Weapon to Win the Battle and It Did What Thousands of People in the Military Believed That the Bombing It Done Was Necessary
There was no other option: Our argument is that America had only two options to eliminate them. The first was Operation Downfall and the second was to throw the nuclear bomb. The original plan of most of the military officers was that Operation Downfall would be carried out. But then the Battle of Okinawa happened and it was found out how many people were being killed in this battle. The Japanese people were not at all ready to surrender. They were ready to fight to the last man. After the battle, America estimated that it would take at least 10 years. And one million of those soldiers will be killed if we continue trying to fight the Japanese Army on the ground in this manner, he says from his perspective.
That 2 lakh people: From 2 lakh farms were killed by the atom bomb, 2 lakh people are not useful but 2 lakh people are less than one million US soldiers and as far as radiation is concerned, their argument is that they did not know that its long Lasting effects of nuclear bomb will be seen later also, people will get diseases due to it. Later also people will see symptoms of radiation sickness. The scientists who were part of the Manhattan Project knew how much radiation would be released but they did not know that What impact the human body actually has on this has never been tested in such detail before.
So America’s argument: Here was simply that only 2 lakh people should die or 1 million people should be killed. We sucked 2 lakh people but many critics argue that actually America had other options. First of all, this is It is said that if the aim was to defeat the Japanese military then why did they drop the bomb at a place where 95% of the civilians were killed? A bomb could have been dropped on a Japanese island as well.
Where there were only: Military facilities and then they would have got to see that this thing could happen to us and then they would probably have surrendered. The counter argument of that military is that the Japanese leadership was brainwashed in such a way that under any circumstances They don’t surrender. They didn’t surrender after Hiroshima, so why did they surrender after dropping a nuclear bomb on a small island? Experts also say that they could not actually test out that many nuclear bombs at different places. But because they had only two bombs radially available
Two more were being prepared: So they were chosen at such a place from where the military personnel would actually get some results. The second argument given against dropping the bomb is that it was actually a few hours before the bomb fell on Nagasaki. The Soviet Union had already surrendered Japan and Japan would have surrendered anyway. When they saw that on one side there was power and on the other side the Soviet Union started attacking, then the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was on the list.
The second atom bomb: That was dropped was absolutely pointless, there was no need to drop it, America just had to wait for some time. Some experts also argue that dropping the atom bomb was not the real reason behind Japan’s surrender; the real reason behind Japan’s surrender was the Soviet Union. Inventing the Union After this, a third and final argument is raised, here it is a moral dilemma. The question is who gave that President the right to choose whether 2 lakh people will be killed here or potentially 1 million there. those soldiers will be killed
It is very easy to sit at a: Distance in your office and take this decision that okay, obviously we take this decision because people here would have taken the same decision when their own family was present in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, I will drop the bomb on Nagasaki and my family is there. is present but only 2 lakh people will die here, one million people’s lives are being saved there, there is a psychologist who says that to avoid this dilemma, there should actually be a volunteer.
When the President: Feels that he wants to use a nuclear bomb on someone, then that volunteer will come in front of him and he will have to murder a person with his own hands to remove the nuclear courses because politicians often They give the argument that look, here only one person is dying, there so many will be killed, therefore it is necessary to do this, then if a President feels that it is necessary to drop the nuclear bomb.
So that the lives of more: People are children, then why doesn’t he himself pick up a knife and kill a person there because he knows what is the sacrifice of one person if the lives of one lakh people can be saved, this is a lot to think about. It has been shown very well in a film. There is a 2015 Hollywood film A in the Sky. It depicts this moral dilemma in a very good way. What is your opinion here? Friends, after narrating the whole story, what do you think was the justification?
Dropping the atom bombs on: Hiroshima and Nagasaki from America’s perspective. Was it a right decision or a wrong decision? Write in the comments below. It is a big debate issue even today. A survey was conducted in the year 1991 and the same thing was asked to America. So 63% of Americans believe that this justifies the bombing but when the same thing was asked to Japanese people, only 29% of Japanese people believe that this justifies dropping the bomb but still you can see that in Japan the number is not 0% and In America the number is not hundred percent because this question is not so easy. One good thing is that
That the world was able to: Learn a lesson that after this incident we should not use nuclear bombs because of the dangerous impact they have and thankfully till date no other country has used nuclear bombs since then. Hopefully in the future. This thing continues like this in me also, I hope that as always you will find this video informative, you can watch the Nobel video if you like.
