Were the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki necessary?
Description
Eighty years ago yesterday, the American B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, a second atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. In total, an estimated two hundred thousand people were killed. Over the years, opinions have been sharply divided over whether the bombings were justified. So, on the anniversary of the only time nuclear bombs have ever been used in war, let’s ask if they were necessary. Then we’ll apply our discussion to an even more significant question, one that is relevant to each of us today.
