If we did not sacrifice the Japanese, the future of the world would be full of wars

79 years ago today, the USA dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. A crime whose consequences remain to this day. On August 6, 1945, on the order of US President Harry Truman, a B-29 bomber of that country's army dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

According to Pars Today, immediately after the explosion of the bomb named "Little Boy" dropped on Hiroshima, thousands of people were killed, and tens of thousands more were killed until the end of the year.  
At the time of the bombing, 280-290 thousand civilians and 43 thousand soldiers lived in Hiroshima. It is believed that 90-166 thousand people died within four months after the explosion.

The US Department of Energy announced that five years after the bombing, the number of victims could reach 200,000 or more. But city officials in Hiroshima say 237 people died from direct or indirect effects of the bombing, including burns and illnesses caused by nuclear radiation, including cancer.  

Three days later, the US dropped a second bomb called "Fat Man" on Nagasaki, Japan. According to Japan, at least 500,000 civilians were killed as a result of the use of two bombs. 

The nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan are the only examples of military use of nuclear weapons in human history. The US has never apologized for using these bombs.

Instead, American mass media and officials tried to justify the attack with different stories. According to one of those stories, if the US had not used nuclear weapons, the future of the world would be full of wars. However, after the Second World War, the USA itself started wars in various countries, from Korea and Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan, Libya, the Balkans and Latin America.

In 2023 The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) released a report which found that nine countries and governments, including the US, Russia, Britain, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel, currently possess nuclear weapons.
