Americans dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on the 6th August, killing perhaps as many as 84 000 people and leaving thousands more slowly dying of radiation poisoning. Three days later they dropped a bomb on Nagasaki. This killed another 40 000 people. The japanese government has now surrendered. Truman’s justification was that he was saving American lives, since the war might otherwise drag on for another year.
