1 HIROSHIMA By John Hersey
2 Unit Base Statements: Directions: Read each statement below and decide whether you agree, disagree, or both. Once you have indicated your choice by labeling each statement with A, D, or B, go back and write one or two complete sentences explaining your reasoning. 1. In times of war, it is acceptable for the military to target and kill civilian populations if it benefits its strategic goals. 2. If you are the ruler of a country, it is your job to protect your country and its people at any cost. 3. Even though everyone has a different perspective, and no two people will experience an event in the same way, it is still possible to write non-fiction accounts of history.
3 Hiroshima Reasons for the Decision 1. Official Reasons a. to end the war quickly (Kamikaze raids symbolized Japan s determination to continue the war regardless of the cost in human lives.) b. to save lives (Approximately one million casualties would result from a land invasion of Japan.) 2. Additional Reasons a. to make good Trumans threat (ultimatum) with a show of force b. to make Europe manageable (Truman message to the Soviet Union) c. to end the war with Japan before Russia declared war on Japan (keep the Soviets out of the settlement at the end of the war) Bombing Orders (Truman) 1. Bomb one of four targets as soon after Aug. 3, 1945, as possible when weather permitted a visual sighting of one of the following targets: Hiroshima, Niigata, Nagasaki. a. Hiroshima was the preferred target because it was - port of embarkation - naval command headquarters - convoy assembly site - army headquarters - manufacturing center - military communications center - relatively flat terrain 2. Three bombers to take off from Tinian (Mariana Islands) together, one being the highly modified B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, which carried the atomic bomb (final assembly to be done after take-off), and two others carrying instruments and photographic equipment. 3. Atomic bomb released approximately 30,000 above Hiroshima; bomb detonated above the city, 43 seconds after the drop; 2/3 of city destroyed, a 4- sq. mile radius flattened to rubble; 100, ,000 people killed. (Aug. 6, 1945) 4. On August 9, 1945, Nagasaki bombed; 50% of the city destroyed; 35,000 people killed
4 Stages of Explosion 1. great blinding flash (70,000 people burned to death) 2. immense atomic blast (flattening city to smoking rubble) a. heat at center of blast 6,000 degrees C (10,832 degrees F = heat of sun s surface) b. fires broke out all over the city 3. mushroom shaped cloud rose high in the sky, scattering radioactive fallout all over the area 4. black rain, drops the size of marbles, carrying radiation to the ground Alternatives to Dropping the Bomb on a Japanese City 1. Negotiate a peace settlement with Japan a. make assurances regarding the safety of the Emperor b. explain clearly unconditional surrender demand c. rejected 1. Japan would never surrender without a show of force 2. Negotiations too time consuming 2. Give Japan accurate information about the bomb before using it (Under secretary of Navy Ralph Bard) a. If Japan knew what we meant by utter annihilation, they might surrender b. rejected atomic bomb top secret 3. Demonstration of atomic bomb on uninhabited island in the Pacific a. rejected 1. What if it was a dud? 2. Japanese might move American POWs into target area 3. Only two bombs left expensive and time consuming to build 4. Land invasion of Japan (Plan already organized, ready to put into operation) a. rejected 1. Element of surprise impossible due to Japan s island geography 2. Japanese would fiercely defend their homeland 3. Estimated loss of one million American casualties Effects of Radiation burns, vomiting and diarrhea, fever (often accompanied by extreme thirst), exhaustion, loss of appetite, failure of wounds to heal (often becoming worse), loss of hair, spot hemorrhages, blood disorders (anemia), and genetic disorders
