PRESENTATION OUTLINE

THE ATOMIC BOMB

The Manhattan project was used to create the first Atomic Bombs.
The project was started by Robert J Oppenheimer
Albert Einstein let FDR know that the germans were underway of making their own Atomic Bomb
This started the race for the atomic bombs

HIROSHIMA

The first Atom bomb, named Little Boy, was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan
Fat man was dropped in August of 1945 and caused extreme devestation
The death toll was approximated to be between 60,000 to 90,000

NAGASAKI

3 days after hiroshima was bombed, Fat Man was dropped on nagasaki
The estimated death toll was between 60,000 and 80,000 people
The exact death toll is impossible because so many bodys were obliterated by the blast

THE AFTER MATH

People that survived had serious burns and radiation
The radiation caused loss of hair, bleedin,g and loss of white blood cells
Many people fear birth defects due to the a-bomb radiation
Cancer cases in Nagasaki and Hiroshima skyrocketed after the bombing
(I didnt want to show pictures of burn victimcs because it was nasty)

THE A-BOMBS ROLE IN THE WAR

Soon after the bomb in Nagasaki was dropped, japan issued total surrender
Many people think that the atomic bombs ended WWII
The japanese were terrified of another atomic bomb being dropped.
It was likely that the U.S. would have dropped another bomb if japan would not have surrendered
Our troops and supplies weere burnt out after defeating the Germans and this was a last resort

MY OPINION

I think that the use of atomic bombs was necessary
Although it caused extreme devastation, it ended the war quicker
We did not over use the extreme power of the Atom bomb
President Truman did feel bad about the dropping of the bombs
It was necessary and ended the war before more american lifes were lost
