1 The Atomic Bomb

2 Manhattan Project Beginning in 1939, the United States had been working on a top-secret new weapon that would use atomic energy to create an explosive many times more powerful than any other bomb. This was the Manhattan Project. In 1945, they successfully tested the first Atomic Bomb.

3 Ending the War When Germany surrendered in May of 1945, the Allied Powers were still fighting against Japan in the Pacific Theater. President Truman (who took over after President Roosevelt died) was faced with a difficult decision: use the new destructive atomic bomb, or invade Japan? Truman ultimately decided to drop the Atomic Bomb on Japan in August 1945, on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan surrendered shortly after. Was his decision the right one?

4 Round One Gut Feeling With just the background information, how do you feel about the following statement? Put an X on the line. The United States was right to drop the Atomic Bomb on Japan to end World War Two. Why do you feel this way?

5 Round Two As you look at the following documents and images, record how your opinion changes. Put an X on the line and label it with the document number.

6 The attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan #1

7 There is no doubt that a land invasion would have incurred extremely high casualties, for a variety of reasons. For one, Field Marshall Hisaichi Terauchi had ordered that all 100,000 Allied prisoners of war be executed if the Americans invaded. Second, it was apparent to the Japanese as much as to the Americans that there were few good landing sites, and that Japanese forces would be concentrated there. Third, there was real concern in Washington that the Japanese had made a determination to fight literally to the death. The Japanese saw suicide as an honorable alternative to surrender. The term they used was gyokusai, or, "shattering of the jewel." In his 1944 emergency declaration, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo had called for "100 million gyokusai, and that the entire Japanese population be prepared to die.

9 Thank God for the Atomic Bomb My division, like most of the ones transferred from Europe was going to take part in the invasion at Honshu (an island of Japan). The people who preferred invasion to A-bombing seemed to have no intention of proceeding to the Japanese front themselves. I have already noted what a few more days would mean to the luckless troops and sailors on the spot. On Okinawa, only a few weeks before Hiroshima, 123,000 Japanese and Americans killed each other. War is immoral. War is cruel. Source: Paul Fussell, a World War II Soldier, Thank God for the Atom Bomb,1990. #4

10 Japanese government and military leaders on trial for war crimes after the war #5

11 Stopping Russia [The U.S.] was concerned about Russia's postwar behavior. Russian troops had moved into Hungary and Romania, and [the U.S.] thought it would be very difficult to persuade Russia to withdraw her troops from these countries, that Russia might be more manageable if impressed by American military might, and that a demonstration of the bomb might impress Russia. Source: In addition to defeating Japan, U.S. military advisors wanted to keep the Soviet Union from expanding its influence in Asia and to limit its influence in Europe. Many years later, Manhattan Project scientist Leo Szilard wrote about his meeting with one of these advisors in #6

18 One of my classmates, I think his name is Fujimoto, he muttered something and pointed outside the window, saying, "A B-29 is coming." He pointed outside with his finger. So I began to get up from my chair and asked him, "Where is it? Looking in the direction that he was pointing towards, I got up on my feet, but I was not yet in an upright position when it happened. All I can remember was a pale lightening flash for two or three seconds. Then, I collapsed. I don t know much time passed before I came to. It was awful, awful. The smoke was coming in from somewhere above the debris. Sandy dust was flying around... I crawled over the debris, trying to find someone who were still alive. Then, I found one of my classmates lying alive. I held him up in my arms. It is hard to tell, his skull was cracked open, his flesh was dangling out from his head. He had only one eye left, and it was looking right at me.... he told me to go away. I, so, was running, hands were trying to grab my ankles, they were asking me to take them along. I was only a child then. And I was horrified at so many hands trying to grab me. I was in pain, too. So all I could do was to get rid of them, it s terrible to say, but I kicked their hands away. I still feel bad about that. I went to Miyuki Bridge to get some water. At the river bank, I saw so many people collapsed there... I was small, so I pushed on the river along the small steps. The water was dead people. I had to push the bodies aside to drink the muddy water. We didn't know anything about radioactivity that time. I stood up in the water and so many bodies were floating away along the stream. Source: Yoshitaka Kawamoto was thirteen years old. He was in the classroom at Zakoba-cho, 0.8 kilometers away from the hypocenter. He is now working as the director of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, telling visitors from all over the world what the atomic bomb did to the people of Hiroshima. #11
