The greatest thing in history!
76 years ago, US President Harry Truman rejoiced when he received the official news that a B-29 bomber had dropped an atomic bomb over Hiroshima, describing it as the greatest thing in history, considering that America had won the largest scientific bet in history by harnessing the fundamental power of the universe with the fission of the atom. And that this is the time of retribution from Japan, which paid the price for its unjustified attack on the American "Pearl Harbor" base several times and the killing of American prisoners.
Was it a fair decision?
In 1945, the idea of a just war was rooted in international law, as in a just war only combatants can be targeted, and the harm caused to civilians is proportional to the military objectives, in the sense that it is necessary to achieve military objectives, however, some believe that all citizens contribute to The war effort, and accordingly could be a legitimate target in some cases, as the Americans said that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were strongly contributing to the support of the Japanese army.
According to a number of observers, the use of the atomic bomb does not constitute a serious addition to the number of victims, and they base this on the fact that 100,000 people were killed as a result of the American bombing of the capital Tokyo alone, while 900,000 were killed in the American bombing of all Japanese cities before the bombing of Hiroshima Thus, the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were sacrifices to save the millions of Japanese and Americans who would inevitably die if the war continued at such a heavy price with conventional weapons of bombs and .incendiary napalm bombs
