Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed by the United States of America using two nuclear weapons on August 6 and 9, 1945, separately, with the assent of the United Kingdom, as required by the Quebec Agreement. The two bombings slaughtered somewhere in the range of 129,000 and 226,000 individuals, a large portion of whom were regular people, and remain the main employments of atomic weapons in the equipped clash. Table of Contents • • • • Why is Hiroshima day celebrated In the last year of World War II, the Allies arranged for an expensive intrusion of the Japanese terrain. This endeavor was gone before by an ordinary and firebombing effort that crushed 67 Japanese urban communities. The war in Europe had closed when Germany marked its instrument of giving up on May 8, 1945, and the Allies directed their full concentration toward the Pacific theater. The Allies required the unqualified acquiescence of the Imperial Japanese military in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945, the option being “expeditious and express obliteration.” Japan overlooked the final proposal and the war proceeded. By August 1945, the Allies’ Manhattan Project had created two kinds of nuclear bombs, and the 509th Composite Group of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) was furnished with the specific Silverplate adaptation of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress that could convey them from Tinian in the Mariana Islands. The Allies gave orders for nuclear bombs to be utilized in four Japanese urban communit...

The bombing that happened around 8:15 am on August 6, 1945, killed 1.4 lakh people by the end of that year, including those who perished from radiation exposure after the blast. The impact of the blast was such that 80,000 people died instantly while tens of thousands more lost their lives to the effects of radiation within the months and years that followed, wiping 39 per cent of the city's total population. Three days later, a slightly larger plutonium bomb exploded over Nagasaki, killing 74,000 people by the end of the year. Radioactive rain poured down as ground temperatures reached 4,000°C. The effects of the nuclear bombings lasted for decades and spanned across generations. Five to six years after the bombings, the incidence of leukaemia increased noticeably, and after about a decade, survivors began suffering from different types of cancers at higher than normal rates. Pregnant women exposed to the bombings experienced higher rates of miscarriage and children born after the bombings were more likely to have intellectual disabilities and impaired growth . And even after seven decades, the risk of...

By Priya Pareek, Nishwan Rasool: Seven decades back, the world witnessed its first ever atomic bombing when the United States detonated a nuclear bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima, a major hub of industrial and military activities in the country. The bombing that happened around 8:15 am on August 6, 1945, killed 1.4 lakh people by the end of that year, including those who perished from radiation exposure after the blast. The impact of the blast was such that 80,000 people died instantly while tens of thousands more lost their lives to the effects of radiation within the months and years that followed, wiping 39 per cent of the city's total population. Three days later, a slightly larger plutonium bomb exploded over Nagasaki, killing 74,000 people by the end of the year. Radioactive rain poured down as ground temperatures reached 4,000°C. The effects of the nuclear bombings lasted for decades and spanned across generations. Five to six years after the bombings, the incidence of leukaemia increased noticeably, and after about a decade, survivors began suffering from different types of cancers at higher than normal rates. Pregnant women exposed to the bombings experienced higher rates of miscarriage and children born after the bombings were more likely to have intellectual disabilities and impaired growth . And even after seven decades, the risk of cancers related to radiation exposure still remains for all the survivors. Though in the last 77 years Japan recovered fro...

Hiroshima Day is observed on August 6 every year to raise awareness of the disastrous effects of the atom bomb and the need to promote "peace politics" among nations. It is a day to remember the usage of a nuclear weapon and its devastating effects on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The incident took place in 1945 and resulted in many deaths and heavy aftermath as well. In memory of all the people who lost their lives, August 6 is remembered as Hiroshima Day. Hiroshima Day 2022: Significance The commemoration of Hiroshima Day is extremely important because it serves as a reminder of the atrocities that were committed in 1945, the final year of World War II. According to the Quebec Agreement, the United States dropped the "Little Boy" uranium gun-type bomb on Hiroshima with the United Kingdom's approval. On August 9, another bomb was also dropped on Nagasaki. The mortality toll from the attacks ranged from 129,000 to 226,000. Many scholars believe that it is important to remember the impact of an event as such so that humankind never uses atomic bombs ever again in the future. Hiroshima Day 2022: History According to scholars, at the time of the bombings, Hiroshima was a blooming city that had both industrial and military significance for Japan and it was probably why the Allied forces decided to bomb this city first. Kokura and Nagasaki were the other targets as well on that day. On the day of August 6, Squadron B-29 Enola Gay (bomber jet) took flight for Hiroshima and dro...
