World peace is a tempting prospect, but forThis requires great changes at the international level. And perhaps it still seems a utopia. However, nothing prevents to imagine a world without wars, in order to understand what you can strive for.
Instructions
1
If there were no wars and huge human losses,today on Earth would live a huge number of people, the descendants of the dead, which now does not exist. Among them there would be ordinary people, both outstanding and those who would influence the course of history. Thus, the world could be quite different from a cultural and technological point of view.
2
Perhaps there would be no state in its currentform, because it would not be necessary to defend the borders. People could move more freely from country to country and travel. There would be no enmity between many nations because of wars in the past.
3
There would be no defense industry and manyfactories working for her needs. The enormous amounts of money and resources involved could be channeled to other pressing problems. The state would not need to maintain an army. Men, accordingly, would not have to go to serve (in Israel and women too).
4
It is known that a number of discoveries and inventions, growthindustry in countries were often the result of an arms race. If there were no wars, perhaps people would live in a less technologically advanced society. Someone will say that this is bad. But, on the other hand, the negative impact of industry on the environment could also be less.
5
There would not be thousands of atomic bomb tests in XXcentury, as well as the use of nuclear weapons in 1945 against the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. About 200 thousand people would not have died as a result of the explosion, several thousand more would not have been ill with radiation sickness, and there would not have been a huge loss of ecology.
6
The appearance of many cities would be different, because during the wars many cities and important monuments of architecture and art were destroyed.
7
The political picture in many countries would be different. Other presidents and ruling parties could be at the head of the states.
8
Textbooks of history would have been several times thinner, or would have revealed the peaceful side of life much more fully.
Tip 2: How it was: Hiroshima
Developed by American scientists, the atomica bomb code-named "Baby" was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, completely destroying it and taking more than 150,000 people with it. Now the world community marks this date as the world day of the struggle to ban nuclear weapons.
Preparation
Hiroshima is located in the western part of one of thethe largest Japanese islands - Honshu. This city was chosen not by chance. First, it had an important military significance. Here was the headquarters of the 2nd Army, which was responsible for the defense of all southern Japan. In addition, Hiroshima was a communications hub and a transit point for Japanese troops. Secondly, most of the population lived in a densely built-up downtown, and most houses were light. This suggests that Hiroshima was an easy prey for the fire. The final decision on the bombing was taken in July 1945, at the same time the Indianapolis cruiser brought the Baby to Tinian, one of the islands of the Marian Archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. There, the crew was instructed and trained, and in early August everything was ready for the operation. The Americans were waiting for favorable weather. On the morning of August 6, the B-29 carrier, Enola Gay, with an atomic bomb aboard was taken to the air. Ahead of it flew 3 weather scouts, at some distance followed the aircraft with the equipment, which was to register the parameters of the explosion, and another bomber, whose purpose was to photograph the consequences. The missile defense system of Japan was enrolled by American bombers. But the air alarm was canceled, since the radar operator determined that the number of approaching aircraft is very small. People continued to do their own business, no one went down to the shelter. Japanese fighters and antiaircraft artillery also did not counter the enemy. Nuclear explosion
Having reached the city center, the bomber droppedA small parachute, and the planes quickly flew away. All the clocks, found then in the wreckage of the city, stopped at around 8:15. It was at this time that the "Little Boy" exploded with a deafening roar at an altitude of about 576 km, leaving behind destroyed houses and widespread fires, covering the city with a huge cloud of dust and smoke. The bomb's power was 20 thousand tons of TNT equivalent. This was enough to destroy 60% of the city in an instant. Buildings and structures located within a radius of 2 km from the epicenter of the explosion were completely destroyed, within a radius of 12 km - they were destroyed more or less partially. People died and burned within 9 km. The temperature from the explosion of the atomic bomb reached 4000 ° C. All living things that fell into the epicenter of the explosion simply turned into steam. Firewaves and radiation instantly spread in all directions, creating at the same time a stream of super-compressed air, which left behind only coal and ash. To this day, disputes over this terrible tragedy, which claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, have not ceased. In 2007, Japanese Defense Minister Fumio Kyma resigned after a wave of resentment that stirred the public. He said that the atomic bombing was necessary to put an end to the war and not allow the USSR to penetrate the territory of Japan, and therefore it does not hold evil against the Americans.
