- When American troops arrived in Nagasaki and stumbled upon one of the cameramen, from the legendary film company Nippon Eiga Sha, shooting amidst the rubble, they promptly arrested him and confiscated his film. The Americans would halt the entire production in fact. When they let it continue, they did so as producers, paying for the production and thus retaining the right to the film - and the right to keep it concealed for decades.

All 50s videos - same narrator.
The low quality audio and the fact that only white men narrated films during the time makes it sound like all 50s films have the same narrator

Well not everybody can be as unflinchingly AWESOME as you, unfortunately.
"Millenials," must seem like such a scourge on all humanity from your perch on high, huh?!
Don't worry, you'll always have the relative anonymity of a CZcams comment section to lodge your lofty complaints within lol even if 99% of the technological progress you use in your everyday life was invented by those so-called, "Millenials," and their, "Generation X," cousins.
You're the guy in the Wal-Mart parking lot with your wife-beater sunburnt arm hanging out of your pickup truck monitoring the handicapped spaces while the old lady is inside shopping, aren't you?
The guy incessantly whining about the new Mexican girl working at the McDonald's drive-thru because she has the NERVE to not speak English well enough by now for your hickory country ass to understand.
You should try to keep in mind who made the technology like CZcams and the cell phone you're complaining on possible when you decide to castigate entire swaths of the population you seethingly HATE and blame for all your petty problems.
If you haven't discovered that life is too short for that nonsense by now, it's unlikely you ever will.

This is... incredibly tactful for a 50’s style American propaganda/info film. I’m honestly kinda shocked how much detail they go into for the people and their culture. I’m glad they did. To understand the devastation, you need to empathize with the people effected. I feel they did a very good job here.
It's not really propaganda, more like a documentary.
It is not propaganda, I'd say its more like a documentary.
Empathize with the people effected? The Americans DIDN'T start the war with the Japanese-how many innocent peope were killed as a result of the Japanese?

What i hate so much about nuclear bombs is that they destroy lives indescriminately. So many innocent lives lost. Children, babies, elderly. And those who survived the initial blast were left disabled, disfigured or worse. Just horrible and should never happen again.
Read about the horrors caused by Japanese soldiers. The bombs were a necessary evil.
Bad news - conventional weapons, & frankly war in general, are just as indiscriminate.
My late wife was born (Aug. '47) in Nagasaki. Her family survived the Atomic bomb because they lived on the side of a hill opposite to the epic center of the blast. The other side of the hill was destroyed. I've been to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I've seen the relics of the blast and visited both museums dedicated to the bombing. It is a very sobering experience being an American in these cities. Everyone I talked to in Japan who were old enough to have been around during the war agreed that as terrible as the bombs were, they saved many, many thousands maybe millions of lives (on both sides) had the US invaded Japan.
and japan would have also been partially occupied by the soviet union creating another korea situation and japan wouldnt have thrived economically they way they did after ww2
Thank you panda ^
@8866 Panda Thank you Panda for Telling your Late Father's account of this 6 August 1945 Day. Your Mother was At Home when The Bomb Exploded ? And Too Close to Ground Zero ?
I never thought about it saving lives. I have only thought about the fact that so many innocent lives were hurt and killed over the bombing. It would have been worse if a war kept going on both sides. I still hate war. Radiation from those bombs really wrecked havak on so many people. My Grandmother got skin cancer and my Grandfather died of cancer a year after the tests near Las Vegas Nevada. My mom was barely conceived during that time. I have hated Radiation my entire life because of that. I watched my Grandmother die slowly due to cancer, when I was a kid. I just never thought about those bombs saving lives. Thank you for this prospective.
Lots of people do not and are not going to agree with your statement. Yes, the bombs stopped the war with Japan. The war had to be stopped and anything the Allies did to end the war is good for me.
May the world never fight again. With this advanced technology,things will be much worse.

I wonder why the US is refusing to sign the new START treaty that Putin has been asking about for years. It expires in February 2021, yet the US will not sign it. That treaty is all that stands between us and human annihilation.
An eye for an eye n a tooth for a tooth. If everyone is going follow this proverb the whole world is going to be blind n toothless
This was not "eye for eye", it was "fight to win". We used everything we could possibly bring to the war in order to end it as quickly as possible.
@jaydee040 We were not interested in Japan's first offer of a conditional surrender. The bombs were absolutely intended to affect their resolve, and additionally were predicted to give them an *excuse* to surrender.
Truman was not expecting the second bomb to be used in just three days (even though the crews on Tinian had been following orders in using it), and ordered that no more atomic bombs be used after Nagasaki without his express consent.
@jaydee040 We were not interested in a surrender with conditions. And we didn't even know that the bombs would get them to surrender, though we thought it might.
What is the point you are trying to make, exactly?
@jaydee040 "Japan was pure genocide", really? Ever heard of Japan's Unit 731? The rape of Nanjing? Pearl Harbor? I wasn't alive for any of those, or the atomic bombings, but from the books I have read on the subject they had it coming. They could have surrendered unconditionally at any time (see also: Potsdam) and ended the war right then. They chose not to, and got popped. Twice. Suddenly and as if my magic, they came to their senses! And the rest is history.
@@josephastier7421 America did not go to war with Japan to save the lives of any one in China, as well you know it, but to save American interest in the region. That is why the oil embargo and scrap metal restriction and others, towards Japan pushing Japan in to a corner, and that is why they bombed Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt knew that. The argument that dropping atomic bombs saved lives, is the strongest argument why every nation should go nuclear, in case of war dropping atomic bombs shortens the war and saves hundreds of thousands of lives. The US is using the same method as we peak in Iran, in Venezuela, as thy used in Iraq. The day will surely come when they will force embargos against the whole world.
I can't believe this has been viewed less than 4,000 times. Truly horrendous devastation, the last 30 seconds of film were heart-wrenching.

That was way back there in the Dark Ages when you wrote your comment. 🤣
So many years of labour and financial investment destroyed in seconds. Its so hard to build and so easy to wreck.
They deserved it for their evil ways
Yes because inventing and producing the atomic bomb was super easy..
@@alexyoungberg5232 You compare that to an entire city? The Manhattan Project cost about 23 billion in today's dollars. That's about 12 billion per bomb. But once developed the cost for future weapons is diminished. The entire B61 program is around 10 billion. A bomb from submarine launched Trident missile is estimated to cost about 200 million per missile. That includes the cost of the bomb, missile and submarine averaged out for the entire loadout. So 200 million to destroy a major city.

@@jawbreakingcandy836 didn't Peter pay for Paul and Paul paid for all
Most of the nearly complete destruction of Hiroshima was due to the fires which raged unopposed after the blast. Nagasaki suffered worse blast damage, but due to several factors there was no secondary firestorm and the city was less damaged overall.

These bombs used in japan had close to 15 kilotons of TNT the most powerful recorded bomb of modern times (Tsar Bomba Russia) is 50 Megatons. Thats a difference of 15000 to 50 Million or the big boy bomb having a one mile radius as the Tsar bomba would have an effective kill radius of 25 miles

Holy shit there is so much lack of knowledge of history in the comments, World War 2 is interesting as fuck and everyone can learn from it, I recommend "The World At War" from 1973, it is a 26 part 1 hour each documentary series that covers a lot of the war all around the world.
i like the old ww2 documentaries antoher good one is the war in the pacific and the war in europe they are from the early mid 1950's
@@420bengalfan I love the early WWII docs too, esp when they have interviews from people who were involved while the memory is still fresh. There are a lot of modern day WWII veteran interviews/stories too as well
If leaders were smart and intelligent they would find ways to protect their young armed men and not put them through to death 💀 on a battlefield.
Seeing the comments I'm not sure who was at fault but one thing I learned is that 'War is never a solution', The wars were in past We are in the presents and the future lies in our hands ✌️
We cant move forward until we learn from the past ✌
@J M By that logic than the USA should be nuked today for their numerous crimes all over the world. They certainly deserved it more than Japan did. Do you agree? If you don't,then you are just a little american hypocritical bitch.
Loki actually no Japan killed 40,000,000 Chinese people. And the soldiers played games like who can kill the most Chinese people in a minute, they put baby’s on bayonets. Japan was also planning an attack on California USA they were going to drop small pox athnax a lot of diseases.
If we didn’t drop that bomb they would’ve launched that attack. Also like I said before Japan killed 40,000,000 Chinese people. The bomb that dropped on Hiroshima killed 240,000 people. We would have to drop 300 of those bombs to reach the amount of deaths that they caused. So Japan was at fault. Japan’s soldiers also raped thousands of native women. So shut the fuck up you bitch.

This is a small example of how cruel humans can get. The history books - and today's newspapers- are dripping with blood. Don't EVER kid yourself that 'humanity' is a passive caring animal. You don't get to the top of the food chain by being 'a nice guy'.
It has nothing to do with the food chain, we are human becomings, for God's sake! Quite different issues than predatory: The mega-growth of the ego after we severed ourselves from our divine origin. The tension btw the I and the lower ego, passions , drives, wishes and desires. our free will to choose btw good and evil also, and the silent voice of the conscience compared to that of the ego. Until we decide to heal the wound, bridge the gap, make our way back into our origin, but out of free will to sacrifice the ego that has become too big. Sth like that.
this is not the work of human beings. this is the work of the annunaki and nephillim. humanity has been manipulated and controlled by this evil ,artificial non biological frequency of 'consciousness'

Many say the atomic bomb was needed to prevent an invasion of japan. In hindsight you could also say it might've been to prevent a Soviet invasion. By the time of the bombs the Soviets had their eyes set on Japan and quickly kicked japanese out of Manchuria. If Soviets and USA both invaded Japan there likely wouldve been another Korea. The Korean War wouldve been the Korean & Japanese War.
There was an active plan for a third bomb if Japan had refused to surrender. It was ready to go and to be dropped on Kokura on August 19th.
"IF" is a very big word .
@@peterjohnson617 not really a lot of people within the japanese govt didnt want to surrender and the atomic bombs had little to do with the actual surrender

To all the people who justify this by saying they deserved it for attacking pearl harbour and what not, understand that these innocent citizens were not all in the military, nor did they have any say in what the japanese gov and military did with other countries. They never deserved this. Period.
You're correct but the horrifying reality of such a war is that the bombings more than likely saved Japanese lives. I'm in no way advocating the bombings they were a horrific thing to have happened and hopefully the darkest moment in human history.
Just as the American people have no say over our country going to war, the Japanese civilians had no say on what their government was doing. No matter what country does it, targeting civilians is wrong, and no war propaganda can change that. Americans were outraged at the events that happened on 9/11 as they should be. This attack killed way more civilians, and in no way can be justified. The attack could have been carried out on just the military installments and not on the civilians.
@ the Japanese did have a chance, and they attacked only pearl harbor (a military base) they were fighting in China, but China was a communist country. When other countries attack communist regimes, they are portrayed as heroes. The war between Japan and China was not our business. I do agree we should have fought the Japanese for attacking pearl harbor, but civilians should not have been targeted. Saying that millions of lives were saved is pure speculation. There is no way to know how things would have turned out if the bombs hadn't been dropped. Furthermore saying we saved millions of lives by killing millions of civilians is not a great argument.
Billy Mays, Your right a 100%.... okay now go look up U.S. military rapes “battle of Okinawa”... also did you know after the bombing of Pearl Harbor we made camps and forced American Asians out of their homes and made them live their as a “ safety precaution” oh yeah and some of them were shot & killed their by the country they thought was meant to give them a better life (some were even born in America) 🤷🏽♀️. Does that mean we also deserve to be bombed and killed, we are know different maybe not as bad but why should we judge.
Batata Fritas u must understand war is war .the Japanese didnt care how many innocent Americans died when they attacked pearl harbor .the truth is American military was blessed from god to invent the attomic bomb .to end the war .fact is the Japanese would have done us the same way if they could and had the same bomb. there is no mercy in real war.kill or be killed
◆◆◆ Has the US Apologized For WW2 Atrocities?? ◆◆◆
People in the world don't know the enormous atrocities against Japan by the Allies ❢❢❢ Between 1944 and 1945, Allied forces massacred more than one million Japanese civilians with indiscriminate bombing, a clear violation of the laws of war. For example, the Great Tokyo Air Raid on March 10, 1945 killed more than 100,000 civilians and injured more than one million in a single day. In the same month, the cities of Osaka, Nagoya, and Kobe were hit by similar heavy air raids.
From April to August 1945, thousands of civilians were also killed in violent airstrikes in Fukushima, Kanagawa, Hiroshima, Yokohama, Ibaraki, Kagoshima, Hamamatsu, Fukuoka, Shizuoka, Kure, Nagasaki, Okayama, Kumamoto, Takamatsu, Tokushima, Chiba, Kofu, Wakayama, Sendai, Utsunomiya, Iwate, Hokkaido, Chiba, Aomori, Niigata, Toyama and other local cities.
Finally, atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, incinerating and blowing away hundreds of thousands of people in an instant. Hundreds of thousands of people who went to the rescue in Hiroshima and Nagasaki also died a few months after being exposed to radiation. Still other survivors also died of cancer and leukemia years later.
Even in the midst of these atomic bombings, thousands of Japanese civilians died in heavy U.S. airstrikes in Aichi, Fukuoka, Iwate, Yamaguchi, Saitama, Gunma, and Akita.

@@steventuck1524 Nope, they weren’t. In fact, they neither had the ressources nor personell to develop the bomb. And they were on the wrong track. The nearing nazi bomb was propaganda.

Shreya Shankar it’s thought that bombs went off on the inside of the building in unison with the planes because architects and constructors are 100% sure that the building would not have collapsed unless.
You may just be triggering people for laughs, but the idea that jet fuel would be the only thing avalible to melt steel beams is kind of retarded.

Reply to Marmaladekamikaze:
Yes, it would’ve been. But that does not mean it was a good thing either.
People still try to justify these bombings. We get it, we understand why the Japanese needed to be forced to surrender.
The reason as to why I am shocked as to why you’re saying these things in this video, is because it is the classic definition of a ‘dickmove’.
Do you know the reason as to why the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor? The answer is not as simple as one would like to believe.
They attacked because the U.S were supplying the Chinese with weaponry. They saw this as a reason to attack and as such they did.
It was, in their perspective, a ‘necessary act to win the war’. Even the general who oversaw the attack didn’t completely agree with it, but he did it anyway because it was a necessary part of war to him.
Before you get angry at me and say that i shouldn’t say that it was necessary, let me ask you a question. Aren’t you doing the exact thing that I am doing? I know that saying such things are very upsetting to the surviving families of the victims of the attack, but aren’t you saying the exact same thing I am, in order to make the U.S look good by justifying it’s past evils? The families of the victims of Pearl Harbor would be angry with me, I understand that and completely accept that I shouldn’t say such things, but yet you are here, talking about bombings that killed 200 times more people than those who died in Pearl Harbor, and you say that it was necessary?
If I walked up to a survivor of Pearl Harbor and said that all the suffering, pain and trauma they went through was necessary, they would get mad, curse me to the core or probably even try to beat me up. The same thing would happen to you if you said what you just said whilst in front of a Hiroshima survivor.
Alexander Lindblom well said. Totally agree with you.
Anyone who thinks nuclear warfare is necessary hasn't considered the likelihood that it can happen to them one day by somebody believing their death to be necessary.
I had a friend that was in ww2 hated Japanese till he died in the 2001

I've been to Hiroshima. Amazing city and really nice people. You just have to realize that Hiroshima, and much of Japan, was militarized during WWII. They were producing munitions around the clock and thus became a military target (even though it was mostly civilians working the factories). War is hell, get over it.
These bombs were only drooped 70 years ago in the middle of the city on hundreds of thousands innocent people with intention to kill as many as possible. People are still alive who remember it or were even effected by cancer or birth defects.
If they wanted to disarm a military target they would have used an air raid. Imagine if Japan dropped a nuke on Chicago, New York or San Fransisco? The US would have used every bullet and bomb to destroy all of Japan, never mind quietly surrender/get over it.
avicihk
and so has every other country at some point. it does not justify dropping a nuclear bomb on hundreds and thousands of innocent civilians. people don't choose their county. two wrongs dont equal a right
what makes dropping a nuclear bomb different from torturing and killing innocent people in South East Asia then?
The visual impact of a nuclear bomb is big, but it killed far less innocent people than the Japanese did in China, Korea and other place.
Why aren't you condemning the killing of people in those countries when you are criticising the nuclear bombs?
The nuclear bomb and the atrocities the Japanese committed are linked whether you like it or not.
+avicihk
But there is a difference.
It takes a very special someone to rally an entire nation into performing impossible acts of aggression.
If takes one person to use a nuclear weapon.
As a nation The United States of America have fought long and hard to rid the planet of nuclear weapons and the powerplants that make them possible.
America has failed in eliminating the nuke. We ended the battles in Japan and "won" WWII because of the bomb, but we created a new war that will never end. Wars based on knowledge and powerful weapons that don't require leadership and clever politics to build or use.
Knowing that I'm sure you can agree that we messed up pretty badly.
That said America did actually help free Japan too. Many American soldiers who fought during WWII insist we couldn't have succeeded without the bomb. History insists that the Japanese Naval and Air Forces were far more competent than our own.
WWII was the end of America's military supremacy.
Since then we have lost quite a few wars and sparked new ones (recently; ISIS) with no knowledge of their size, influence or intention.
+Like 7 Oranges The US was going to be in a land war with japan on their home turf. If we hadn't used the bomb, millions of Americans and Japanese would have died instead of just the thousand. Sadly the bomb needed to be used to end the war and to save lives in the long run. Sometimes the lesser of two evils is the best case.
Disturbing how they calmly recite this. However its equally disturbing what the Imperial Japanese Army did to its conquered, atomic bombs killed many but prevented many more deaths and the spread of communism in Pacifix from Soviet invasion.
Those nations who would trample the rights of other nations should look upon this as a warning......
This is the reality of humanity.....

It's sad they had no idea of radiation fall out and contamination of the water they were using 12:00
Their was no fallout
I watched this in basic training
I found it odd that it was a american clock in japan just don’t fit right to me
Japan wouldn't surrender due to national pride and honor, this is why this happened. That's why they had Kamikaze pilots - to the Japanese, surrendering was worse than dying. The U.S. had to do this to try and force them to surrender.
@tttready1 idiot
@@illuminatichild7408 No YOU are the idiot. The Japanese were already defeated. Truman knew this. He had a deal with Stalin to invade Hokkaido, to really screw the Japanese, without US forces having to invade the mainland, Stalin wanted that deal as Japan had annexed some Russian territory as well, and he wanted revenge - revenge which the Japanese desperately feared.
They wanted to give up, before Hokkaido was taken. But Truman wanted a) to show the Russians his weapon. and b) to deny Stalin the deal that he felt was offered (and agreed upon) in weakness.
You really do your name justice. 'Illuminati child' Disgusting whore. Get elite cock out your mouth and appreciate our shared humanity.
Those who send US to war. Who murder innocents by the 100's of thousands... they are not our friends. Not our protectors. They are criminals who should be excised as a cancer to our species. ... in almost every country on our planet.
Sure, I was ignorant once... but at least try. I never presumed to call others idiots in my days of ignorance.
Gorbachev was a good guy. Roosevelt wasn't the worst... etc... We've all had evils in our nations... but shit like this. Nukes. Unacceptable.
The lies told to justify them... also unacceptable.
Scum.

Sounds like the bombs should have been switched. I wonder why they did that.

Although sugar coated considerably, this still remains beyond shameful.
Yes, Japan acted very shamefully and got off with a very light sentence. You are absolutely clueless
@@mellygibbs7011 I don't think so Chris. Did Japan act shamefully? Of course.
I'm not clueless about the shameless acts committed by Japan at that time.
Still, civilians weren't to blame, most didn't know the worst of it for decades to come.
Also, obviously, they are still the only nation to feel the horror and devistation of nuclear war. Which should clearly be understood to be a massive excess in punishment.
My own country has at one time been an 'evil' nation committing atrocities. For me at the moment, the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia are the axis of evil.
I would hope I am sensible enough not to wish nuking on any populous, but if there is any civilian population in history that has truly deserved it... I think we can look to serveral around today, whose complicity is more criminal than that of the Japanese in the 1950s
Bottom line you are incorrect and hypocritical to say the least. Make a valid argument, dont try to lecture...oh and dont be an idiot. I dont know what to say to you other than that you are clueless
@@mellygibbs7011 Ad hominems and you talk about hypocrisy and lecturing? are you serious? he had a very valid opinion and has been respectful to you. Why are all of you pro- atomic bombs so angry and rude?
Upon rereading, i stand by what i said.
The tsunami and earthquake of 2011 did the same equivalent damage like in Northern Japan, including the Fukashima Daichi nuclear power plant where the radiation from meltdown in the reactor! Making Fukashima Prefecture like another catastrophe when you add 9.0 earthquake in that magnitude!

Obviously, he is.
06:33 So strange hearing some place else called Ground Zero
Wow. Didn't even think of it that way.
The term "ground zero" was originally used for the Trinity test, and was then used for all subsequent atmospheric nuclear tests. It is the point directly below the bomb, from which the distances to test articles measuring the effects are precisely measured.
Today this point is more accurately known as the hypocenter.
After 9/11, some people started referring to the area around the destroyed towers as "Ground Zero", believing that the damage looked like that caused by a nuclear attack. While inaccurate, the catchy name has stuck.
Joseph Astier Wow, I didn’t know any of that! I was just a bit taken aback by hearing the phrase being used relating to anything other than that area of NYC. Thank you, I’m going to go and have a bit of a Google!

I didn't say total deaths. Maybe unbeknownst to you but Marines were the major force that fought the war in the Pacific. Army fought the Europe theater. That's why their number is important.
Anyway, let's take the total number that you gave 106K. So you say that three years of war in all the islands, Philippines, Mariana Islands, Okinawa, IwoJima, New Britain, Guam, everything in total is 106K. And invasion of Japan would have cost more than 10 times of that. You know that that's total BS!!!!
76th anniversary 2021. We shall remember and learn.

Then I guess somewhere in middle east some people are thinking the same thing about you. Why do you blame them for wanting to blow a nuke in the middle of an American city then?
Two historical events that go into the "Unforgivable Crimes Against Humanity" file.
Was the rape of Nanjing a crime against humanity? Was starting a war against America justifiable. Were the war crimes that became part of the Japanese normal behavior OK in your eyes.
There is a huge argument that using these atomic weapons was the best way to enter the atomic age. It was inevitable that someone would soon make such weapons - all physicists around the planet knew the science. At first the statement was made not to mess with America. When the Russians and Chinese got the weapons the message was we don't want to wipe out each other. Now the message is keep these weapons out of the hands of irresponsible groups. IF they had not been used it is very probable that Russia or China would have started a nuclear sometime in the pas 60 years. Using the nukes on Japan certainly made using nukes something that should not be done. Without that knowledge they would have been used somewhere else already.
Yes.
@@joephysics5469 The rape of Nanijing may be propaganda. If on the contrary it iwas true, of course it was a crime against humanity. But USA didn't need to pay back with nuke-war crimes on the civilians, who didn't practice those and other atrocities of the Japanese Army.
First thing: I read that many reliable people confir(med) that Japan had already surrendered. The nukes weren't needed to force Japan to surrender.
Second thing: if USA wanted to show their power, or a "good way to enter atomic age" they could have thrown the nuke where there were no people: they could have proven it's destructive power without such cruelty.
Third thing: they say they nuked Hiroshima because that's the way they eliminated 20.000 soldiers. Then why nuke Nagasaki, after that?
@@LiradeTerpsichore You are looking at the issue through the lens of history. I have spoken with many people who lived during this period of time and what people knew then was completely different than what we know today. Hindsight is always easy.
That generation didn't have the luxury of immediate world wide communications and all of the intelligence methods that we now have. Wars back then were fought in a much different way also. Having to explain this should not even be needed. Judging those people's people's motivations with today's perspective is a huge error.
Who else watching those vids in regards to what's going down in Ukraine and kinda sizing it up for their own city ?
Honestly, im sitting here hoping im either too far away here in south carolina to bother with, or im close enough to ground 0 to be vaporized. Mankind is in a frenzy all accross the world. It's not just us, but it has occurred to me that our internal political and economic strife can be easily seen as weakness. We built the blueprint for the world. If you want to make a country bend instant and devestating death, and damage is the best way to go about it. Any American that thinks we are safe from this on our own ground while any country at all owns these types of weapons is fooling themselves. If anything, we are the biggest target in the world.
It’s just interesting to see under such video the Americans fighting against each other Liberals and Republicans.
That's got to be the ultimate rush, to be turned into a puff of steam instantly.
Nice of you to be so casually indifferent to what went down there my father was there your little f****** Jing morass doesn't have any idea
Earrapped in the begging.

Omg hope it never happened again

Everyone’s a terrorist in these peoples eyes
They started it... we ended it.
@jaydee040 Neutral until declaration.. we were supporting China. Like I said, we ended it..
@jaydee040 LOL. Nutcase.
Look at the pictures of the devistation in Hiroshima and compare them side by side with the F5 in Jerel, Moore, Joplin, Tuscaloosa....looks EXACTLY the same...makes you kinda go hummm🤔...
No it doesn’t
Appreciation?
I remember Harold Melvin Agnew, the American physicist who developed the atomic bomb against Japan, stubbornly claiming in front of the Japanese atomic bomb victims, "I will never apologize." He really seemed serious. Now I hope Americans should directly experience the horror of a nuclear bomb that burns and blows up millions of innocent people in an instant. That is God's command.

@@bidensucks2922 Has the US Apologized For WW2 Atrocities?? People in the world don't know the enormous atrocities against Japan by the Allies ❢❢❢ Between 1944 and 1945, Allied forces massacred more than one million Japanese civilians with indiscriminate bombing, a clear violation of the laws of war. For example, the Great Tokyo Air Raid on March 10, 1945 killed more than 100,000 civilians and injured more than one million in a single day. In the same month, the cities of Osaka, Nagoya, and Kobe were hit by similar heavy air raids.
From April to August 1945, thousands of civilians were also killed in violent airstrikes in Fukushima, Kanagawa, Hiroshima, Yokohama, Ibaraki, Kagoshima, Hamamatsu, Fukuoka, Shizuoka, Kure, Nagasaki, Okayama, Kumamoto, Takamatsu, Tokushima, Chiba, Kofu, Wakayama, Sendai, Utsunomiya, Iwate, Hokkaido, Chiba, Aomori, Niigata, Toyama and other local cities.
Finally, atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, incinerating and blowing away hundreds of thousands of people in an instant. Hundreds of thousands of people who went to the rescue in Hiroshima and Nagasaki also died a few months after being exposed to radiation. Still other survivors also died of cancer and leukemia years later.
Even in the midst of these atomic bombings, thousands of Japanese civilians died in heavy U.S. airstrikes in Aichi, Fukuoka, Iwate, Yamaguchi, Saitama, Gunma, and Akita.
@@frozensmile6563 Shuddap 🤡
That's not historically correct at all. Japan did not need any new encouragement to surrender at that time, as they were already going to surrender.
Its not morally justified to throw a bomb killing hundreds of thousands when in fact they were on the verge of surrender!
PHeMoX not sure of them being on the surge of surrender whilst withholding half China
dummy, they didn't surrrender, thats why they got a-bombed. they still didn't surrender so they got atomic bombed again. if they surrendered when we first warned them, they would have never been a-bombed at all
The Tsar bomba is 3,333x more powerful than this.... 50 megatons...

Yea, they were soft peddling the damage. They had power and phones working in two days, in three days! To where? To whom?
