The World War II was the longest war fought in the history and due to his effects on the United States; they had to develop a way in which to end the war. The USA came up with the idea of using the atomic bomb, and the idea was born during the Manhattan Project; President Truman was willing to end the World War II and together with top government officials and some trusted scientists they began to form the nuclear weapons. According to Feis (2015), the United States found it justifiable to us the atomic bombing because it was the only possible solution to end the war quickly. Having been profoundly affected as it lost most of its soldiers and citizens in the war, they had to option as if they continued to fight they feared that they would lose more soldiers 1 .
The first atomic bomb was released on 6 August 1945, on Hiroshima which killed many people; and three days later another bomb was released on Nagasaki, the two bombings brought a lot of deaths and effects witnessed up to date. The atomic bombing of Japans big cities devastated the Japanese something which made them surrender, and this called off the end of World War II. Many people were and still are against the U.S use of nuclear weapons, according to Allen and Polmar (1995) urges that the United States should not have used the atomic bombs to make Japanese surrender and he refers to this as inhuman as it caused many deaths 2 . President Truman had an eye on the Soviet Union and took advantage of giving an order to use the atomic weapons on Japanese as a way of silencing the Soviet Union and other enemy’s as Walker asserts 3 . The atomic bombing of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki is a fatal bombing ever in the history of man.
