Atomic bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima

Near the end of the war, German had already surrendered, Japan was the only country left on the Axis team. President Truman believed that if they invaded Japan, it would cost them 1,000,000 men. So the U.S created the Atomic Bomb. Two planes dropped atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, 3 days apart. The damage was devastating. Thousands of people died, and there was nothing left of Hiroshima and Nagasaki except dust and wreckage. After the dust cleared, even more died of radiation disease. The dropping of the atomic bombs on the Japanese cities and the horrific aftermath of their destruction, and the declaration of war against Japan by Russia forced the Emperor of Japan to announce his country’s surrender.
