On Aug. 9, 1945, three days after the bombing of Hiroshima, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki.
In a section of the article titled “A Propaganda Front,” the Times article reports on Japan’s efforts, after the Aug. 6 bombing of Hiroshima, to influence public opinion in Europe and North America in the hope that it would stop the United States from dropping a second bomb.
Estimates suggest that the bomb killed 40,000 on the day it was dropped, and approximately 70,000 by the end of 1945.
When Japan refused to accept the terms on July 29, Truman authorized the use of the atomic bomb. On Aug. 6, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, destroying over 60 percent of the developed city and killing between 70,000 and 80,000.After the bombing, Japan accepted the Potsdam terms and unconditionally surrendered to the United States on Aug. 14, a day known as Victory in Japan, or V-J, Day. It marked the end of World War II.
After I have heard about the surrender of Japanese, I quickly ran down to the Padang.I were very excited that Japan had already signed which says they have agree to surrender.At the Padang, I cheered happily for the return of the British.It was totally a FREEDOM after Japan had signed the surrender documents.
