(Hiroshima - Nagasaki Atomic bombing 1945 Aug)

Issue: This video has to do with the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, when America's president Harry S. Truman ordered to drop the bombs in those 2 cities. America had been at war in WW2 against the Japanese Empire. The bombs were dropped on the 6th & 9th of August 1945. The bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945.

Significances:

1) The nuclear bombings killed millions of people . Many sicknesses arose after this event because of the high levels of radiation. Many people started dying from leukemia, getting cancer, and dying from serious body infections. This lead to the end of the Pacific war and WW2 as well as the bannings of nuclear weapons being used.

2) Nowadays in these cities, throughout various generations, still women are known to give birth to 'deformed' children, for example- kids are born with 3 hands or legs, deformations in the face, or even conjoined children who have a higher risk of dying after operations. This is happening still after so many years because there is still a certain level of radiation within the city, which causes these 'side effects'.

Analysis:

1) We can analyze why or what caused America to let out the bombs, and what destruction was caused after the explosions. (the whole city was wrecked). I think this video is in many ways not bias because it shows exactly what happened in August 1945

2) We can also look at what impact this gave the modern world; banning nuclear weapons, America fighting with North Korea because they want to obtain nuclear weapons but they don't look at what they did to these 2 cities in the past. How America can be bias compared to what they say to the rest of the world and their arguments.
