Hiroshima

Hiroshima On August 5th, 1945 a B-29 bomber nicknamed the Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb into the Japanese city Hiroshima without any warning. The whole city was leveled and nearly 200,000 people died as of a direct result of the blast or long-term radiation exposure. This author disagrees with a few aspects that Truman was coming from when he made the world-changing decision. But to understand everything, one must study the entire history of the bomb. Known studies into atomic matter date back all the way to Sir Isaac Newton. Not to say that all his theories were accurate, but they set in motion an awesome chain of events. The next discovery came from French physicist Antoine Becquerel. He observed that photographic plates get exposed by invisible emanations from the uranium. Two physicists by the names of Marie and Pierre Curie (yes, they were married) discovered radioactivity. The two of them worked together at Becquerel laboratory. In this, they identified two elements, polonium and radium. Marie stated that the ability to radiate came from the atom itself and not from the arrangement of atoms.
