How did einstein react to bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki

On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The explosion destroyed the city and killed tens of thousands of people. In the days and weeks that followed, scientists around the world responded to the event in a variety of ways. Some scientists praised the US for its use of the weapon, arguing that it had brought an end to the Second World War. Others were critical of the US, arguing that the use of the atomic bomb was a violation of international law. Still, others called for a ban on the use of nuclear weapons. In the years since the bombing of Hiroshima, scientists have continued to study the effects of nuclear weapons. These studies have helped to improve our understanding of the risks posed by these weapons and have contributed to the development of policies to reduce the likelihood of their use.

When word of the attack on Hiroshima, Japan, reached the scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States on Aug. 6, 1945, physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer was greeted at the base theater by a roaring, foot-stomping crowd. The man who had done more than any other to create the atom bomb responded by clasping his hands over his head, like a boxing champion. Yet at a celebration party later that evening, a few couples danced, but others just quietly talked and drank, unsure what to feel. Off in one corner, Oppenheimer discussed a telex that had just arrived from Washington with the first damage report. The chief scientist grew depressed. As he left the party, he saw a young scientist throwing up in the bushes. He said to himself: “The reaction has begun.” This article is adapted from Road to Surrender by Evan Thomas (Random House, 336 pp., , May 2023) This article is adapted from Road to Surrender by Evan Thomas (Random House, 336 pp., $28, May 2023) But it had not—not yet. Most Americans approved of dropping two atomic bombs on Japan; some wished their countrymen had dropped more. Many people—millions of veterans returning home, their long-awaiting families—were grateful to have avoided an invasion. Their worries focused more on whether Russia would get the bomb, or about whether they could find a new car or a house, a job, or a spouse. Then, on Aug. 31, 1946, a year after Japan’s surrender, the New Yorker published an entire issue devoted to an article by w...

In response to the editor of Kaizo, Einstein wrote this short essay to describe his limited involvement in the development of the atomic bomb. Einstein stated that his participation consisted of "a single act" - signing the 1939 letter to President Roosevelt. "I did not see any other way out, although I always was a convinced pacifist." The essay appeared in a special edition of Kaizo published in 1952. My participation in the production of the atom bomb consisted in a single act: I signed a letter to President Roosevelt. this letter stressed the necessity of large scale experimentation to ascertain the possibility of producing an atom bomb. I was well aware of the dreadful danger for all mankind, if these experiments would succeed. But the probability that the Germans might work on that very problem with good chance of success prompted me to take that step. I did not see any other way out, although I always was a convinced pacifist. To kill in war time, it seems to me, is in no ways better than common murder. As long however, as nations are ready to abolish war by common action and to solve their conflicts in a peaceful way on a legal basis. they feel compelled to prepare for war. They feel moreover compelled to prepare the most abominable means, in order not to be left behind in the general armaments race. Such procedure leads inevitable to war, which, in turn, under todays conditions, spells universal destruction. Under such circumstances there is no hope in combating t...

Despite the horror of Hiroshima, there were many in the Japanese government that disbelieved the United States had the technical ability to develop, yet alone transport and drop, an atomic bomb. The events of August 9 changed all that. Urakami Cathedral, near the south wall entrance.The pillar of an entrance has crack and the plinth has shifted. Central back is the north wall. Japanese Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo called the ninth of August "a bad day." The Soviet Union declared war on Japan, overrunning the Kwantung army in Manchuria. Sumihisa Ikeda, Director of the Imperial Cabinet Planning Board, described the once invincible army as "no more than a hollow shell." When news of the Nagasaki bombing reached Tokyo, Togo proposed acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration which set out terms of surrender for Japan and was signed by the United States, Great Britain, and China (U.S.S.R. ruler Joseph Stalin was a principal participant at Potsdam but did not sign the declaration). Japan's Supreme War Direction Council was deadlocked on a decision. Only the reinforced concrete buildings of the Nagasaki Medical College hospital remained standing. The hospital was located 2,600 feet (800 meters) from ground zero of the explosion. Debate continued throughout that day and night. Finally, at 2 A.M. August 10, 1945, Prime Minister Admiral Baron Kantaro Suzuki respectfully begged His Imperial Majesty Hirohito to make a decision. Hirohito did not hesitate, "...I do not desire any further ...

"...the greatest thing in history." - Harry S. Truman President of the United States during the Atomic Bombing "It always appeared to us that, atomic bomb or no atomic bomb, the Japanese were already on the verge of collapse." - General Henry H. "Hap" Arnold Commanding General of the U.S. Army Air Forces Under President Truman "I had been conscious of depression and so I voiced to (Sec. Of War Stimson) my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives. It was my belief that Japan was, at this very moment, seeking a way to surrender with a minimum loss of 'face.' " - General Dwight D. Eisenhower "Japan was at the moment seeking some way to surrender with minimum loss of 'face'. It wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing." - General Dwight D. Eisenhower "It is my opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender. My own feeling was that in being the first to use it, we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was taught not to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children." - Adm...
