The girl who got blind by atomic bomb
picture of a blind Japanese girl who lost her sight due to witnessing the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945.
The blast killed 66,000 people. Despite the atomic bombs forcing a Japanese surrender, the USA has been heavily criticized over the years for the amount of damage they caused.
They also mostly k’illed civilians, who most likely had nothing to do with the war. It was also a stance against communist aggression by the USSR in Manchuria.
However, if the bombs were not dropped, an invasion of Japan would have prolonged the war, and at least 2,000,000 US troops would have d’ied, according to calculations, as well as millions of the Japanese, allied fighters, and other sources of soldiers.
It is easily one of the most divisive topics of World War II if the bombs should have been dropped or not. This has been only 1 out of 2 nuclear attacks in history.
