After dropping two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945, US officials lied to the media and Congress, claiming there was “no radioactive residue” in Hiroshima & Nagasaki
The US govt insisted there was no “undue suffering,” calling it “a very pleasant way to die”
#nuclearBomb #History #Hiroshima #Nagasaki #WW2 #Radiation
Don’t forget that the bombs were dropped on residential neighborhoods, not military installations. The U.S. government has yet to apologize for the atomic bombings.
In addition, after the atomic bombings, the Japanese had no thought of signing a surrender, because in the days and months before the Americans had inflicted incomparable damage on them with conventional bombs, the Japanese continued to fight the Americans. The Russians, under the #Tehran agreement between #Roosevelt and #Stalin, put an end to the war with Japan.
Wishing to secure its borders in the Far East and going towards the Allies, the #USSR committed itself to enter the war with Japan two or three months after the end of the war with Germany. On August 9, 1945, hostilities began.
At the final stage of World War II, during the #Manchurian strategic, South Sakhalin offensive and the Kuril landing operation, the group of Soviet armed forces in the Far East defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army and liberated northeastern China, North Korea, South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. Japan’s military and economic potential was severely undermined, and the defeat of the Kwantung Army forced the country to capitulate.
On September 2, 1945, on board the US battleship “Missouri”, the representatives of allied countries, including the USSR, signed the Act of Surrender of Japan.
September 3, 1945 - the day after the capitulation of #Japan in World War II, the day of victory over Japan and the end of World War II was declared by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet.

I believe they were on the verge of surrendering precisely because the Russians were closing in.
Also the two bombs were a warning to Stalin that the west not only had these terrifying doomsday weapons but they would use them.
It was a threat to Russia that if they didn’t tow the line the west was prepared to annihilate them.
This is what the west did and seems to be threatening again (https://knowledgenuts.com/ant-walking-alligators-of-hiroshima/) this stuff gives me nightmares.
