OUT NOW ON YOUR STREAMING SERVICES: The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
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.
