Hiroshima and Nagasaki!
As for Hiroshima and Nagasaki; America stayed out of that very long and protracted war for as long as possible. However, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, they did so in the same manner as Napoleon Bonaparte went about annexing every country he could lay his hands on.
From the Time Pearl Harbor was attacked it took America four years before they sought to repel Japan’s aggression. It wasn’t until August 6th and 9th, 1945 that President Harry S. Truman ordered the American troops to drop the two Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
On August 15, 1945 Hirohito announced the surrender of Japan and on September 2, 1945, the surrender ceremony took place on the Battle Ship Missouri.
Since then, Japan never became a military threat to anyone, but with the help of America and other Western Countries, they managed in a positive way, to become the world’s second largest economy, and they have held that position for a very long time.
Since then to the present time, we have never had another “Nuclear” attack by one country against another. The reason being is that the circumference of the earth that is 25,200 miles; would be incinerated with only ten Nuclear 25 megaton bombs exploding simultaneously, I think that point was a proven factor during the Missiles of October (1963) between Russia and America. President John F. Kennedy stood up to then, The President of the Soviet Union – Nikita Khrushchev.
This situation is difficult to be judged from a moral or an immoral standpoint; it can only be viewed from an “amoral” point of view!
