61 years ago yesterday the United States Army Air Force’s B-29 bomber dubbed “Enola Gay” dropped an Atomic bomb over Hiroshima. The rest is history.
It may have been, arguably, the most correct decision then given the recalcitrant nature of the military hotheads in Japan who refused to surrender to the Allied Forces. But it was the Japanese people who had to pay for the sins of their rulers.
Two days later, on the 8th August 1945, a second Atomic bomb was dropped over Nagasaki, and the Japanese government capitulated. Tens of thousands more died immediately. Hundreds of thousands died in the following years due to radioactive sickness.
Let us all strive for the the end to all hostilities in this world and make it a better place. Let us hope that the two bombs dropped will be the only ones ever to be used to kill human beings.
