After Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed by atomic bombs, people could not live there for a hundred years. Why do so many people still live in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Many people say that areas bombed by atomic bombs can't survive for at least one or two hundred years. But in 1945, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed by atomic bombs. Only ten years after the war, people lived in one place after another. These two cities have been very prosperous for decades. It has a large population, many new modern buildings and dense vegetation. Hiroshima even held the Asian Games in 1994.

Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan must have been attacked by real American atomic bombs. Some conspiracy enthusiasts may think that Japan has not been attacked by atomic bombs at all, and the United States and Japan are cooperative in their actions.

However, people familiar with World War II know that, closely different from today's US-Japan relationship, during World War II, the United States and Japan were really mortal opponents. In fact, nuclear explosion is not terrible. The picture above shows the night view of Hiroshima, Japan. Very prosperous. It doesn't look like it was bombed by an atomic bomb more than 70 years ago.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, some "East Asian tycoons" appeared in Japan. They are so excited that they can finally compete with white people. If the United States does not use atomic bombs twice to completely destroy Japan's psychological defense, how can the fanatical Japanese empire be willing to surrender?

1In August 1945, American imperialism dropped a "little boy" in Hiroshima, Japan, and then a "fat man" in Nagasaki, Japan, which was equivalent to 17000 tons and 20000 tons of TNT respectively. Japan was bombed almost forever. These two atomic bombs directly led Japan to give up its resistance and surrender unconditionally.

However, Hiroshima and Nagasaki recovered quickly after the war and were not greatly affected by the atomic bomb. This is mainly because the two atomic bomb attacks in the United States are not perfect. For example, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima is a "little boy" and belongs to a uranium bomb.

Because uranium is so rare and precious, in order to end the war as soon as possible, the United States put it into practice without any actual uranium bomb test. Only after the actual use, the United States found that the power of the "little boy" was not completely released. With a little improvement, the attack power of "Little Boy" will increase by at least 10 times.
