PRESENTATION OUTLINE
THE ATOMIC BOMB
- The Manhattan project was used to create the first Atomic Bombs.
- The project was started by Robert J Oppenheimer
- Albert Einstein let FDR know that the germans were underway of making their own Atomic Bomb
- This started the race for the atomic bombs
HIROSHIMA
- The first Atom bomb, named Little Boy, was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan
- Fat man was dropped in August of 1945 and caused extreme devestation
- The death toll was approximated to be between 60,000 to 90,000
NAGASAKI
- 3 days after hiroshima was bombed, Fat Man was dropped on nagasaki
- The estimated death toll was between 60,000 and 80,000 people
- The exact death toll is impossible because so many bodys were obliterated by the blast
THE AFTER MATH
- People that survived had serious burns and radiation
- The radiation caused loss of hair, bleedin,g and loss of white blood cells
- Many people fear birth defects due to the a-bomb radiation
- Cancer cases in Nagasaki and Hiroshima skyrocketed after the bombing
- (I didnt want to show pictures of burn victimcs because it was nasty)
THE A-BOMBS ROLE IN THE WAR
- Soon after the bomb in Nagasaki was dropped, japan issued total surrender
- Many people think that the atomic bombs ended WWII
- The japanese were terrified of another atomic bomb being dropped.
- It was likely that the U.S. would have dropped another bomb if japan would not have surrendered
- Our troops and supplies weere burnt out after defeating the Germans and this was a last resort
MY OPINION
- I think that the use of atomic bombs was necessary
- Although it caused extreme devastation, it ended the war quicker
- We did not over use the extreme power of the Atom bomb
- President Truman did feel bad about the dropping of the bombs
- It was necessary and ended the war before more american lifes were lost
