World War II was a global war that started in 1930 and ended in 1945. The war began when The Nazi
Germany first invaded Poland, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany. The war
involved many countries and regions and saw the rise of United States and the Soviet Union as
powerhouses. It was the deadliest, most costly, most widespread was in human history, and ended with
the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was truly a devastating history we have ever
witnessed.

As we now know the basics of WWII, let’s dive into why USA decided to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Well, to start things off, it was for strategy and political reasons. It was aimed to force Japan to
surrender ASAP by demonstrating the immense destructive power of the atomic bomb manufactured by
the US. And secondly, it was seen by a means to end the was right then and there. The US wanted to
take part no more in the war. And finally, the US wanted to send this as a warning to the Soviet Union
who would later be the opponent for the cold war.

Here’s a short summary. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in August 1945
marked the culmination of World War II. On August 6, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb, "Little Boy," on
Hiroshima, instantly killing tens of thousands of people, whether innocent or not, old or young. And 3
days later, on August 9th, another bomb, "Fat Man," devastated Nagasaki. The bombings of these two
major ports of Japan, led to Its unconditional surrender on August 15, 1945, effectively ending World
War II.

So, what are the effects of the bomb to the human body, the environment and the long terms effects it
brought to us. First, we have the sufferings of the human body. The radiation of the bomb causes organs
and skin cells to lose or deform their DNA, leading to many unfortunate and painful deaths. It also
causes radiation sickness and long-term health issues. It also destroyed and damaged lands, making
them infertile and turning them into useless wastelands. And last but not least, it raised and sparked the
rise of nuclear weapons, questioning morals about it.
