Civilians at War

Before the U.S. dropped the nuclear bombs, hem on remote islands in the pacific. Although they American giverement expeiremented to find more evidence and information about the atomic bombs, even the most renouned scientists could not have predicted how massive the damage would be, or the power of the radiation. The U.S. was not justified in dropping the atomic bombs becuase they did not know the magnitude of damage the bombs would bring. Today, after 50 years since the bombing of hiroshima, Ngasaki, there is still radiation in various parts of japan. http://www.cddc.vt.edu/host/atomic/trinity/trinity1.html

The Bomb was tested in a remote area in the New Mexico desert. The Trinity test took place on the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, about 230 miles south of the Manhattan Project's headquarters at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Based on a number of criteria that included availability, distance from Los Alamos, good weather, and low population, this differed greatly from the real bombings in Japan. Not only was the weather different in Japan, but the U.S. chose a highly dense populated area, with no knowledge of the dangers of radiation to bomb.
