At the end of World War II, the two cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were attacked by atomic bombs. These are the only two nuclear bomb attacks in human history. Japan had a chance to avoid a nuclear strike, but the gambling ideology that has been popular since the Meiji Restoration has finally created hundreds of thousands of dead souls under the atomic bomb attack.
At the end of 1941, the old Imperial Japanese Navy's combined fleet raided Pearl Harbor, an important base of the US Pacific Fleet, marking the official start of the Pacific War of World War II. The U.S. Navy began violent forces. Since 1941, the U.S. has built 147 aircraft carriers of various types (including escort aircraft carriers) and thousands of other types of warships. In the same period, Japan only built 6 aircraft carriers and built the obsolete super battleship Yamato. Takes up a lot of Japanese resources.
The huge gap in national power caused the Pacific battlefield to completely reverse the situation after the Midway Sea Battle. By April 1945, the U.S. Navy had approached Japan. The most tragic battle of Okinawa in the U.S. Pacific War began. During the 82 days of the battle, The U.S. army wiped out 100,000 Okinawa garrisons, but it also suffered more than 80,000 casualties. You must know that in the famous Battle of Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, the U.S. forces killed less than 20,000 in total. The heavy losses in the battle of Okinawa made the United States begin to reassess the cost-effectiveness of attacking the Japanese mainland. The Ministry of Defense predicts that an attack on the Japanese mainland may cause more than 1 million US casualties. However, just one month later, on July 16, the "Manhattan Project" launched by the United States with all its efforts across the country achieved cross-epochal results. The first atomic bomb in human history was successfully tested in the desert of New Mexico.
Ten days later, the Potsdam Announcement was issued, requiring Japan to surrender unconditionally. Accepting the announcement was Japan’s last chance to avoid a nuclear explosion at that time, but Japan refused. They launched traditional skills to gamble on the country’s fortunes, betting that the Soviet Union would intervene in the conditions of surrender, and protect Japan’s post-war interests to the greatest possible extent. People do not understand its role, and the Japanese authorities have not taken it into consideration. Until August 6, 1945, three B-29 heavy bombers flew over Hiroshima and dropped the world's first atomic bomb "Little Boy". The horror after the explosion shocked the world. This bombing was a gamble by the United States. The United States bet that Japan quickly accepted the surrender after seeing the power of the atomic bomb to avoid Soviet interference in surrender affairs.
However, the Americans cannot understand this fanatical “East Asian Empire” thinking. After seeing the power of the nuclear explosion, the Japanese authorities have launched a new and final round of national gambling plans. They bet that the United States only has one atomic bomb. Hold on and wait until the Soviet Union intervenes in mediation. So they gave a fantastic explanation to the Japanese people: "The explosion in Hiroshima was hit by a large meteorite!" They called on the people to continue to "100 million pieces of jade".
slapped her face quickly. Three days later, another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9. The Japanese authorities were completely desperate and had no courage to bet on whether the United States had a third atomic bomb. Japan announced its acceptance of Pozzi a week later. Tanzania announced an unconditional surrender. Of course, it cannot be said that Japan surrendered because of these two atomic bombs. The atomic bombs only accelerated the result of the surrender.
