77 years ago today the world saw the rain of death from the sky. The US then carried out the world’s first nuclear attack on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The atomic bomb produced 4000 degrees of heat in Hiroshima, which destroyed the entire city in an instant. Since then, the fear of war between nuclear-armed countries arises, then the souls of peace lovers tremble. The Ukraine war continues and China and America are again face to face over Taiwan. In such a situation, it is expedient in many respects to remember Hiroshima Day today.
The world knows August 6 as ‘Hiroshima Day’. During World War II, on 6 August 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on this Japanese city. Japan was still powerful at that time. It had been six years since this world war started in 1939, but the war was not taking its name to stop. Japan was continuously attacking. On this, America gave unbearable pain by dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.
Black rain up to 29 km
The United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 at around 8 am. As soon as the explosion happened, more than 80 thousand people died in one stroke. The 4000 degree heat emanating from the bomb had erased the name of the entire city. Everything was destroyed by this. In two minutes, 80 percent of the city area was destroyed in the fire. Black rain fell from the sky in an area of 29 km. Thousands of people died mole-to-mole after being hit by nuclear radiation.
The second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on the third day
On the third day after the attack on Hiroshima, the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. On August 9, 1945, when America dropped the bomb on Nagasaki at 11 am, 40 thousand people fell asleep there in an instant. For many years after the nuclear attack, children born with disabilities due to nuclear radiation continued to be born in the cities around these Japanese cities. After all, Japan bowed after seeing the great devastation and surrendered to America and the Second World War ended.
That’s why America did this attack
Actually, during the Second World War, the Japanese army attacked the US naval base Pearl Harbor. In response, America attacked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hiroshima and Nagasaki had a heat of 4,000 degrees Celsius after the nuclear attack.
Nuclear race continues in the world on Japan’s resolve
After suffering the nuclear threat, Japan resolved to use nuclear power peacefully and never to build an atomic bomb, but the nuclear race continues around the world. The number of nuclear weapons is increasing every year. In 2020, there were 3,720 nuclear bombs deployed worldwide. These increased to 3,825 in 2021. America, Russia, Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea are considered to be involved in the nuclear race.
