Arms Race of the Cold War
Boeing B-29 bomber nicknamed “Enola Gay,” and American crew assigned to dropping
Another harmful repercussion that resulted from dropping the 2 atomic bombs on Japan, is that the United States had kick started the Cold War. After the United States displayed their authority in the world of nuclear weaponry, the Russians had begun to present their power as well. After dropping the atomic bombs, the arms race had begun. Both Russia and the United States had entered in to a nuclear warfare. The impact, responsibility, and results of nuclear weapons were far too powerful for the opposing countries. As the countries desired to be the strongest, the amount of nuclear weapons began to get increasingly dangerous.
Right: The political cartoon displayed above is a representation of how the world was brought to the brink of nuclear war as the 2 superpowers stared each other out during the Cuban Missile Crisis
Quotes Pertaining to the Atomic Bomb Droppings
"Boys, if you ever pray, pray for me now. I don't know if you fellas ever had a load of hay fall on you, but when they told me what happened yesterday, I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me." - Harry S. Truman on President Roosevelt’s death.
“We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. It may be the fire destruction prophesied in the Euphrates Valley Era, after Noah and his fabulous Ark.” - diary of Harry S. Truman
"[President Truman] made the only decision he could,…to avoid tremendous sacrifice of American lives." - Eleanor Roosevelt
"I knew what I was doing when I stopped the war ... I have no regrets and, under the same circumstances, I would do it again." - Harry S. Truman
"I made one great mistake in my life — when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification — the danger that the Germans would make them..." - Albert Einstein
"Practically all living things, human and animal, were literally seared to death," - Japanese radio announcer
“When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.” - J. Robert Oppenheimer

Harmful Effects of the Atomic Bombs
The Slaughter of the Innocent:
The United States had dropped atomic bombs on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombs had been dropped on both August 6, and August 9 of 1945. The bomb that had been dropped on Hiroshima was known as "little boy", and the atomic bomb that had been dropped on Nagasaki was known as "fat man".
The United States was not fully justified in dropping the 2 atomic bombs on the Japanese, because they did not realize the severity of the bombs; and the severity of the destruction that followed the bombings. Approximately 66,000 civilians were killed in Hiroshima, out of a population of 255,000.
Different harmful effects that were a result of dropping the 2 atomic bombs include: 1) the red blood cells of survivors mutated, 2) citizens were psychologically affected, and 3) the Japanese were overwhelmingly affected by the radiation, and destruction of the bomb. Certain citizens whose red blood cells mutated, had radiation within their bone marrow, so the body of the survivor continued to produce red and white mutated blood cells. Citizens of Japan were also psychologically affected by the droppings of the atomic bombs. Survivors from the incident may not be physically wounded, but many have been suffering from symptoms that include general fatigue, amnesia, and a lack of concentration. Some survivors have been diagnosed as having post traumatic stress disorder, and have a difficult time forgetting about the horrific sight of the cities after they were demolished.
Another harmful effect that Japanese survivors had to recover from, was the overwhelming amount of radiation, and the fires that were brought about. Thousands of innocent Japanese citizens were automatically struck dead, while others suffered, and eventually died off due to prolonged exposure. And another long lasting effect that the 2 atomic bombs have had on our world, is that cancer is still affecting Japanese survivors to this day.

Hiroshima after the Little Boy Blast
Another harmful effect that Japanese survivors had to recover from, was the overwhelming amount of radiation, and the fires that were brought about. Thousands of innocent Japanese citizens were automatically struck dead, while others suffered, and eventually died off due to prolonged exposure. And another long lasting effect that the 2 atomic bombs have had on our world, is that cancer is still affecting Japanese survivors to this day.
