Turning Point/Impact
The lives destroyed effortlessly, the excruciating torture endured, the repercussions still felt today haunt the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Not to mention the relentless American citizens today. This event initiated the world into nuclear age. If there were no atomic bombs dropped in Japan, I don't think that people would completely understand the great power of a nuclear bomb the way they do now. People are terrified of nuclear bombs. The thought makes people shudder because of this event, because so many terrible things happened at this time. This was the discovery of nuclear energy. The United States caused a huge turning point in the world.
