On this discussion episode, I am joined by Chris Hoitash, an expert in US and European military and political history. In this episode, we discuss the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were pivotal events during Second World War, marking the first and only use of nuclear weapons in warfare. On 6 August 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, instantly killing tens of thousands of people and causing widespread devastation. Three days later, on 9 August, 1945, another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, leading to further catastrophic consequences. The bombings played a significant role in Japan's surrender, but they also raised ethical and moral questions about the use of nuclear weapons and their long-term consequences on human lives and the environment. The events underscored the devastating impact of nuclear warfare and contributed to the subsequent global efforts to control the proliferation of nuclear weapons.Find more from Chris at his website and on his Patreon.You can find bonus content such as videos and extended versions of episodes over at The History Buff Patreon (it's free - for now!).

This class explores the true reasoning behind the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and debunks the narratives that the bombings were necessary, justified or excusable in any way. The class also goes over the background of World War 2 and nuclear research that led up to the atomic bombings, and it examines the aftermath of the bombings and how they changed the world forever, drawing comparisons to the present nuclear crisis. This class comes 78 years after the atomic bombings, but they are just as relevant now as they were then, and we will mourn and honor the victims of the bombings.

Last updated : 2023.05.22 The latest news from home and abroad, with a close eye on Northeast Asia and the Korean Peninsula in particular
When the U.S. dropped Little Boy and Fat Man on Japan in 1945, it killed or injured tens of thousands of ethnic Koreans working — often against their will — at munitions and other factories in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Tokyo has provided support for Japanese victims, but the situation has been entirely different for Koreans. And as Lauren Richardson of the Australian National University explains, decades of appeals from both North and South Korea have not yielded the same awareness or support. This week, Richardson joins the NK News podcast to discuss how the politics of victimhood have evolved over the decades since WWII, how North Korea has also co-opted the discourse over the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for its own ideological purposes and how the DPRK medical system responds to radiation treatment for atomic bomb victims. Lauren Richardson (@Lauren_ANU) is a lecturer in the Department of International Relations at Australian National University.

At 0815 on the morning of August 6th, 1945, an atomic bomb known as ‘Little Boy' was released by Bombardier Thomas Ferebee above the Japanese city of Hiroshima. What followed was a new type of destruction never before visited upon humanity. Buildings burned, Japanese citizens ambled about in confused terror and pain, and radiation began its deadly work. Join us for the first episode of Hardtack as we explore the seemingly peaceful moments before the bomb dropped, and the immediate aftermath as told through some of the survivors of this tragic event.

"Tekki!" - the word shouted to warn of an incoming enemy plane. Today we explore the physics behind how the first atomic weapons used in war were made, as well as look deeper into the devastating and tragic events of August 6 and August 9, 1945.

Episode 10: The Bombing of Nagasaki & the Catholics of Urakami Brief Chronology: 1549 - St. Francis Xavier arrives in Japan; Nagasaki eventually becomes heartland of Japanese Christianity 1587 - Persecution of Japanese Christians begins. 1865 - Hidden Christians reveal themselves at Nagasaki and are promptly persecuted. 1925 - Original Immaculate Conception Cathedral finished in Urakami 1930 - 1936 - St. Maximilian Kolbe in Nagasaki 1933 - Japanese takeover of Manchuria 1934 - Conversion of Takashi Nagai after living with Moriyama family, descendants of leaders of the Hidden Christians of Nagasaki 1937 - Beginning of Sino-Japanese War 1941 - Aug. 14 - St. Maximilan Kolbe dies at Auschwitz; Dec. 7 - Japanese attack on Pear Harbor leading to U.S. entry into WWII 1945 - Night of March 9-10: Firebombing of Tokyo, killing approx. 80 to 100,000 - May 8 - Germany surrenders - Aug. 6: First atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, killing approx. 70,000 - Aug. 9, 11:02 AM: Second atomic bomb dropped on Urakami valley area of Nagasaki, killing approx. 30,000 - Aug. 15: Japan surrenders 1951 - Death of Takashi Nagai 1958 - Reconstruction of cathedral in Urakami 1981 - Pope John Paul II visits Japan Summary: We discussed the story of the dropping of an atomic bomb on the historic Catholic area of Urakami in Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 at 11:02 AM. The bomb exploded extremely close to the area where the Immaculate Conception Cathedral stood, and where Catholics were gathered in preparation for the upcoming Feast of the Assumption. The cathedral was reduced to ruins which burned through the night. Catholic priests and nuns, as well as about two thirds (about 8,000) of the city's Catholics perished in the bombing, in which approximately 30,000 people total were killed instantly. Ironically, the commander and pilot of the B-29 bomber which dropped the atomic bomb was an American Catholic, Major Charles Sweeney (then only 25 years old), who professed to never regret the bombing. Those who survived faced many struggles - they were stigmatized as irradiated persons, called hibakusha; they faced local pressure to leave the devastated cathedral in ruins as a peace memorial; they experienced "survivor guilt"; and struggled with traumatic memories of losing family and homes. Although the writings of Dr. Takashi Nagai explained the bombings as providential, many Catholics felt dissatisfied with his views . These different perspectives began to be shared after Pope St. John Paul II's 1981 visit to Japan, in which he spoke of the evils of atomic warfare and stated at Hiroshima, "War is the work of humanity; war is destruction of human life; war is death." (Dangerous Memory, p. 75). Survivors took this message to mean they did not need to accept uncritically Nagai's sacrificial theory of the bombing. Among the survivors we discussed were: • Dr. Takashi Nagai - He was a radiologist working in a hospital at the time of the bombing. He was diagnosed with leukemia shortly before the bombing due to his exposure to radiation in his work and nearly died of his injuries after rallying the survivors from the hospital to help the wounded in and around Nagasaki. He eventually returned to Urakami with his two young children to live in a hut where he wrote the first book allowed to be published providing an eyewitness account of the bombing, The Bells of Nagasaki. Nagai used proceeds from the book to plan cherry trees throughout the city. He is controversial for his theory that the bombing of Nagasaki was providential and provided an acceptable burnt offering of the good and innocent to God for the sins of mankind in waging World War II. He has been designated a "Servant of God," meaning he has an open sainthood cause. • Brother Ozaki Tomei (Tagawa Koichi) - A Franciscan monk who was working in an underground factory at the time of the bombing. He was haunted by his turning away from helping others in the immediate aftermath of the bombing as he desperately tried to get home. In his home he was unable to find his mother's remains, only what was left of her rosary. He later entered a monastery founded by St. Maximilian Kolbe, about whom Ozaki has written a book.

August 6, 1945, was a major turning point for the Pacific Theater during World War II. Some people think dropping an atomic bomb was unnecessary and some think it was the only option.

Today is the 76th anniversary of the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima. This terrible display of force completely levelled the city, killing up to 126,000 civilians. Today, it is still the commonly accepted view in popular history that the bombing of Hiroshima, and another city called Nagasaki 3 days later, was necessary to bring about Japan's unconditional surrender. To this end, we welcome historian and nuclear abolitionist Hailey @Roun_Sa_Ville on to help tear down these insidious myths and challenge the narratives that have built up around nuclear weapons and their use. Part 2 will come out on August 9th, the anniversary of the Nagasaki Bombing.
AnarchoChristian - Evaluating the relationship between the Christian and the state

Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima / Nagasaki Pt. 2
Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima / Nagasaki Pt. 1
On August 6th and August 9th of 1945, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Combined, these bombs killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people. The two bombs — named Little Boy and Fat Man — were the first and only nuclear weapons used in armed conflict, though the global nuclear arsenal has increased to an alarming size. In this episode, we discuss the atomic bombings of Japan — the precipitating events, the explosions themselves, and the controversy that has surrounded this use of nuclear weapons ever since.

Scott interviews Josiah Lippincott about the conventional narrative surrounding the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. The common argument, says Lippincott, is that the U.S. had no real choice but to drop the bombs, since the alternative would have been a ground invasion that ultimately would have cost many more lives. In reality, he explains, the Japanese had been willing to negotiate for months, but the American government, insisting on an unconditional surrender, wouldn’t concede Japan’s only demand, which was to let the emperor remain on the throne. Ironically, after the bombings, when Japan still didn’t look ready to surrender, General MacArthur decided to allow the Japanese surrender while keeping the emperor nominally at the head of his country. This of course raises the question: why couldn’t we have negotiated a peace long before dropping the bombs that claimed the lives of thousands of innocent Japanese citizens?

The impact of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is still acute – 75 years after the events. Survivors have to live with the memories; people in the Asian-Pacific nuclear testing sites are still fighting for compensation; activists are still campaigning to abolish nuclear weapons. And the sale of uranium is still big business and a new nuclear arms race seems to be on the way. A panel of historians reflects on the social and political legacy of the atomic bombings.

YouTuber Tristan Johnson of Step Back History joins us to talk about how incinerating tens of thousands of Japanese civillians at the close of the Second World War is actually bad.The impetus for this discussion is a chatacteristically long-winded Twitter thread from National Post opinion editor Matt Gurney, where he argues that dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which he concedes were not militarily necessary, were good. That's because it allowed his grandfather to return home early and safely from carrying out British colonialism in India, where he was stationed with the Royal Air Force. Whose lives are more valuable, 150,000 Japanese men, women and children, or Matt Gurney's? Real tough to say. Apparently Gurney's voice was such a valuable addition to the discourse on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that he was invited onto Evan Solomon's iHeartRadio show to talk about it. You may remember Evan Solomon from when he got fired from the CBC for using his position as the host of Power and Politics to sell his guests expensive art. It's a Canadian media failson match made in Hell.LinksStep Back History - Was the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Justified?Gar Alperovitz - The War Was Won Before Hiroshima — And the Generals Who Dropped the Bomb Knew ItWade Davis - The Unraveling of America Jeremy - AIMCo loaned an oil company $45 million, let that company make millions in payments to shareholders and now it can't make the interest paymentsJeremy - Edmonton Police: Defacement of statue not a hate crimeFollow Big Shiny Takes on Twitter or Instagram!@bigshinytakesLike what you hear?

Today is the 75th Anniversary of the announcement of the Japanese surrender ending WWII, which became heralded as Victory in Japan Day or V-J Day. On this episode of Battles & Banter, Avery, Codie & Tony are joined by Justin Voithofer to talk about the events that seemingly led to that announcement: the atomic bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Perhaps one of the most hotly debated events in world history, these bombings were the first and (hopefully) last instances of nuclear weapons being used on people. The guys talk about the popular history around these bombings and dissect the #1 question that has haunted historians for years: was there any other alternative? Strap in for the 40th Episode of the podcast some people are talking about. Enjoy!

Episode No.19 - Kathleen Burkinshaw / Author of The Last Cherry Blossom / Daughter of Hiroshima Survivor August 6, 2020 marked the 75th Anniversary of the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We had the honor of sitting down with Kathleen Burkinshaw who is the daughter of a Hiroshima Survivor and the author of The Last Cherry Blossom. The book is based on her mother's experience as a 12 year old child during the Hiroshima bombing. We got to deep dive into Kathleen's Big 5, talked about what it's like to have her book used as a resource for Nuclear Disarmament by The United Nations and learned more about her mother's life after the bombing. This episode was very near and dear to Allison's heart because she got an opportunity to exchange her experiences with Kathleen who shares her Japanese-American heritage.

With this week being the 75th Anniversary of the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Mike shares his thoughts on what perhaps the most least appreciated english translated manga set during that time. And the legacy of the story on the discussion of the bombing itself

It's 75 years since an American airforce plane called the Enola Gay dropped an atom bomb known as “Little Boy” on the city of Hiroshima in western Japan. - Oggi si commemora il 75mo anniversario dello scoppio della bomba atomica a Hiroshima, seguito tre giorni più tardi da quello di Nagasaki.
August 6 marks the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, followed three days later by the bombing of Nagasaki, on August 9th. In this special episode, Nukes of Hazard host Geoff Wilson narrates a selection from John Hersey’s Hiroshima, written in 1946. We also revisit last year’s episode of Nukes of Hazard, an interview with Kathleen Burkinshaw, who tells the story of her mother, who survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
On 6 August 1945 a B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay dropped a uranium bomb, nicknamed the 'Little Boy' onto the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It was the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare - and also one of history's most controversial acts. While it almost certainly hastened the surrender of Japan to the USA and ended World War Two, it came at an incredible human cost - with 150,000 being killed in the blast and nuclear aftermath. In this podcast, first broadcast on Dan Snow's History Hit, survivor Hirata-San talks to Dan about his experiences, and his work on keeping global peace.

In this presentation John Dear speaks about the 75th Anniversary of the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan and the danger humanity faces from the possibility of ever suffering from a nuclear attack. He tells how the movement against nuclear weapons calls for the abolition of nuclear weapons, not a freezing of developing them. Freezing just leaves a stockpile on hand ready to be used and about nine major countries hold a majority of nuclear warheads. John tells how most people alive today have lived under the threat of nuclear destruction all of their lives. He says we suffer from psychic numbness. There are approximately 16,000 nuclear weapons in the world, all ready to go at the pressing of a button. This and the fact that we spend trillions of dollars to produce them is the crux of the protest against them. John tells personal stories of his nonviolent actions in demonstrating for the end to nuclear weapons. These stories, some of them humorous, are in effect truly not funny. John has been arrested numerous times with these protests and you will gain insight as to why he perseveres in this work. Listen carefully as he explains "the greatest lie" having to do with the explanation as to why the United States dropped the Atomic bomb. "It is legal to build nuclear weapons," says John, but "when will we stop."
Article 9 Japanese Constitution - On the Ninth of every month a group of Japanese protest War. To this day the US has still not apologized for dropping atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Dennis Miller used to begin his Option show by saying Let's light this Candle Hiroshi. I find this insensitive.

If you experience any technical difficulties with this video or would like to make an accessibility-related request, please send a message to digicomm@uchicago.edu. Dr. Yuki Tanaka of the Hiroshima Peace Institute examines the question of the criminality of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the responsibility of American political and military leaders who were closely involved in the decision-making and execution of the order to drop the bombs. Criminality is examined in accordance with international law effective at the time that the bombs were dropped and in the light of the Charter of the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal. The lecture also examines the history and present situation of indiscriminate aerial bombing of civilian popu^A-lations. It examines how the use of this tactic started, what kind of military logic was used to justify it, and why it is still being widely sanctioned despite the fact that large numbers of civilians are repeatedly victimized in various war-torn regions of the world. It further explores how we should utilize the result of the International Peoples’ Tribunal of Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to increase understanding of the fact that killing civilians is a crime against humanity, regardless of the asserted military justification.
