Nagasaki bombing:
Nagasaki suffered the same fate as Hiroshima in August 1945.
The bombing of Nagasaki on August 9th was the last major act of World War Two and within days the Japanese had surrendered.
Nagasaki was not America's primary target. This was Kokura.
Nagasaki was only added to a list of potential targets when Kyoto was withdrawn
Nagasaki was a major shipbuilding city and a large military port.
Fat Man' was a very effective bomb.
By the end of 1945, 80 000 people were killed.
One reason why the bombs killed so many people is because a lot of Japanese houses were made of wood.
When the bombs exploded, the wooden buildings caught fire, which spread quickly.
Six days after the explosion over Nagasaki, on August 15, Japan announced that it was surrendering to the Allied Powers.Some people say that the atomic bombs actually saved many lives, because if the Allies invaded Japan, more people would have been killed, on both sides. Allied generals believed that an invasion of Japan would have killed more than a million people on each side. Others say that the bombings were evil and were not necessary. They also call the bombings a war crime. People still argue about that.
