Captain Kermit, the bomber captain who dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, himself said before his death: "I hope I am the last person in the world to drop the atomic bomb."
Although several major countries in the world possess atomic bombs, their use has been controversial. Japan was the only country to have suffered an atomic bomb attack. The attack took a huge toll on Japan. Tens of thousands of people died from the power of the atomic bomb.
To this day, the shadow of the atomic bomb on the Japanese and even on all mankind still exists. Shortly after the atomic bomb attack, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and World War II, a catastrophe in human history, was coming to an end.
Why did the United States use the atomic bomb on Japan? What is their purpose? On June 18, 1945, the United States planned to attack Kyushu in the southern tip of Japan directly, abandoning its original plan to attack Taiwan. On June 29, 1945, President Truman approved the November 1 offensive plan for Kyushu, according to which the U.S. Sixth Army made two landings in Kyushu in November.
The choice of specific Japanese targets for the atomic bomb attack was also several twists and turns, and finally the four cities of Hiroshima, Kokura, Shinya, and Nagasaki were selected as Hongshan targets, and the attack on Kyoto was abandoned. There are also many little-known stories in it.
