Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

In 1945 during world war 2, America who was back then was with war with Japan after The Empire of Japan had provoked America by the pearl harbor attack in which thousands of American soldiers and machinery had been exterminated. The war had been enhanced for there was no clear dictator during the conflict, until the nuclear bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which then lead to Americas decisive victory.

It was in the early hours of August the 6th 1945 wh en America had dropped to atomic bombs on the Japanese cities with had killed 166,00 people instantly of city of Hiroshima and 80,000 people in Nagasaki . The reason why these cities were in the vicinity of the nuclear attacks was because it had held Japan's army head quarters as well as communications center and storage depot .

The radiation of the nuclear bombs are s till g oing to today with thousands of new born babies being born with strange disabilities in that region ,almost 65 years on after the bombings. please witness these disturbing images:

These are the images of the mushroom cloud from the bombed areas:

2 atomic bombs hit the Japanese cities. Fat man and Little boy.

Fat man:
weighs 4600 kg
Length 3.2m

History,facts about weapons of mass destruction:

Several nations have attempted owning nuclear weapons but only 7 countries have it those nations are America, United Kingdom, Russia, France, China , India and Pakistan , although its rumored th at Israel have Nuclear bom bs but not have tested it.

The USA have the most amount of nuclear bombs over 10,000, Russia come at second place with over 5,000. The U nited kingdom has about 1200,France has 1260 warheads,China's arsenal is 600, I c ouldn't find out the nuclear weapon amount of India , Pakistan is likely to h ave 560 w arhead by the end of this year.

Not all nuclear bombs have the same superiority.

American nuclear weapons:

Being the first sate to invent to the bomb, America started its nuclear program in 1937 America first tested its nuclear weapon in July the 16th 1945.
Among with Fat man and little boy they are other American nuclear bombs such as Thin man , Mark 6,Mark 7, Mark8, Ma rk10, the list goes on and on.

British Nuclear weapons:

The British first tested there nuclear bombs in 1 0th April 1940. Its defense minster once stated "If t he country was ever faced with an immediate threat of nuclear threat or complete annihilation, a copy of this booklet would be distributed to every household as part of a public information campaign which would incl ude announcements on television and radio and in the press. The booklet has been designed for free a nd general distribution in that event. It is being placed on sale now for those who wish to know what they would be advised to do at such a time."
The UK first relied on the ballistic missile early warning system and in the l ater years the Defense Support Support Program (DSSP) satellites for warning of a nuclear attack.

Russian nuclear weapons:

Russia being the 3rd state to have nuclear bombs in 1949. Russia ,s first nuclear weapon test was in 1949 . Today 12 Russian submarines are carrying 612 nuclear weapons.

According to the Russian military a doctrine limited nuclear war stared in 2003 could be used to prevent political pressure against Russia and her allies ( Bosnia,Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan)

French nuclear weapons:

France did its primary nuclear test in the 1 960. France is the one of 5 States that is a Nuclear non- proliferation treaty ( among with United States,Britain, Russia and China).

There were 210 French nuclear tests from 1960 until 1996. 17 o f them were done in the Algerian Sahara be tween 1960 and 1966, starting in the middle of the Algerian war .193 were carried out in French Polynesia from 1966 -1996.

In both Algeria and French Polynesia there have been long standing demands for compensation from those who claim injury from France’s nuclear testing progra m. The government of France had consistently denied, since the late 1960s, that injury to military personnel and civilians had been caused by their nuclear testing.

Chine nuclear bombs:

China's first nuclear bomb test occurred in 1964. China was found to supplied Albania with chemical weapons in the 1970s during the cold war.

China has launched 44 nuclear test and their maxim range varies 13,00 0km-1500 km.

China obtains 6 types they also have many kind of missiles I have set a table below:

China designation	U.S./ NATO designation	Year deployed	Range	Warhe ad x yield	Number de ployed	Warheads deployed

India nuclear weapons:

Become a recognized nuclear power in 1974 by testing "The smiling Buddha".There maxim nuclear test range is 2,5 00 km.

India has declared that is a nuclear nation tha t was "no-first-use polcy".

India has many nuclear missiles under develo pment which have a maxim range of 600km.
Some report suggest that India's nuclear capability was possible by with the cooperation of Russian scientist.

In November 2009 a US-Indain nuclear deal where Amerca will share 14 of it nuclear reactors with India , 6 for commercial facilities and 8 for the Indian military.

Pakistan nuclear weapons:

Pakistan nuclear weapons ambition was motivated by their enemy India's nuclear test. In 1974 when India had laun ched it's Atom bomb "The Smiling Buddha" the Pakistani prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhut to announced " If India builds the bomb, we will eat grass and leafs for thousands of years, even go hungry , but we will get our own . The Christians have the bomb,the Jews have the bomb and now the Hindus have the bomb Why not the Muslims too have the bomb?"

Pakistan was also motivated in the founder o f Pakistan Mohammad Ali Jinnah who died in 1948 . In 1948 he once stated:
"The weak and the defenseless in this world invite ag gression from others. The best way we can serve peace is b y removing the temptation from the path of those who think we are weak and, for that reason, they can bully or attack us. That temptation can only be removed if we make ourselves so strong that nobody dare enterta in any aggressive designs against us. Pakistan has come to stay and no power on earth can destroy it."

Pakistan nuclear program was called project 706 which was led by professor Abdul Qadir Khan.

In May 28 1998 Pakistan had su ccessfu lly l aunched it first nuclear bomb called "Ghuari 1" .
I have set a table of differ ent kind of nuclear bom bs of Pakistan:
