When The Bombing of Hiroshima is mentioned,
I can't help but feel very sad. Sad to the point where I can't explain enough. It's already devestating enough to think about... All those people, blown to smithereens...

Not trying to minimize it, but the fire bombing of Tokyo, the fire bombing of Hamburg, and the bombing of Dresden were worse than Hiroshima. They just were not done by a single bomb. The fire bombing of Tokyo in particular is the most destructive single night in human history.

@TheEmperor I am not sure if Dresden was a fire bombing or conventional. And it is well known for those with a bit a knowledge about WWII. Dresden more so than Hamburg. Part of the British objective in Dresden was to show the Soviets what the Royal Air Force was capable of doing.

@TheEmperor but to get to the point better, there is no question that the development of the atomic bomb was a major event in human history, and Hiroshima signifies that. Now a nation could, with a single bomber airplane, destroy entire cities at will. The US could have conquered it he world if it wanted to. Good thing the Germans or soviets did not get it first.
