I heard a few about Hiroshima where nuclear attacks (atomic bombings) near the end of World War II against the Empire of Japan by the United States.Today I saw some picture of Hiroshima after bombing. What was done with the people of Hiroshima city? It was a part of World War II or was a experiment against humanity?
I want to know more about its history.

They say it's like a revenge to the japanese that attacked by surprise, and fine Japan was so wrong, I'm not either so I can judge. But to throw a nuclear bomb? That bom has never been tested so they were testing indeed. Many took 6 months to die. It was the last worst thing done in this world, hope we don't see the next one. They killed not soldier but innocent people and after them, many babies were born deformed.

History has proven the United States right in using the bombs to end WWII. That doesn't mean the US would have been right using nukes in any or every other situation. The goal of all parties in wartime is to deny the enemy the ability to continue the fight. It is the responsibility of the leaders of all sides to reach that goal with a precarious balance of efficiency and humanity. President Truman had to weigh the cost of using the probable outcomes of using the bombs against those of not using them.
That is history though, there is a more important question for the future. That is, will there be a point in another war where the probable outcomes of each decision lead the powers that be to make the same choice? Will the future leader weigh the balance, or simply use it because they have it?
