Nagasaki Day

Nagasaki Day

Nagasaki Day is celebrated on the 9th of August every year. On this day in the year, 1945 US dropped a second nuclear bomb on this city in Japan. After three days after dropping the first bomb on Hiroshima named ‘Little Boy’.

The Bomb dropped on the city was code-named ‘Fat-Man’ which killed over 80000 people there. Since that time this day is known as Nagasaki day. At least 70000 people died at the initial blast and over 70000 suffered from radiation-related illness.

This led to Japan’s unconditional surrender to America in Second World War. Many survivors of this attack developed cancer and other illness due to their exposure to radiation and suffered discrimination.

The United States dropped an atomic bomb, nicknamed “Fat Man,” on Nagasaki, leading to massive destruction and loss of lives. It marked one of the darkest chapters in human history, emphasizing the devastating power of nuclear weapons.

The bombing resulted in an estimated 74,000 deaths by the end of 1945, with many more suffering from injuries and long-term radiation effects. The destruction of Nagasaki played a crucial role in Japan’s decision to surrender on August 15, 1945, effectively ending World War II. However, the impact of the atomic bomb continued for decades, with survivors, known as Hibakusha, facing severe health issues and emotional trauma.

Nagasaki Day serves as a reminder of the horrors of nuclear war and promotes global peace efforts. Every year, memorial services are held in Nagasaki, with people observing a moment of silence at 11:02 AM, the exact time of the bombing. The Nagasaki Peace Park and the Atomic Bomb Museum stand as symbols of peace, educating future generations about the consequences of nuclear warfare.

This day also strengthens global movements advocating for nuclear disarmament. Nations and organizations, including the United Nations, use this occasion to urge world leaders to prevent nuclear conflicts and promote diplomacy.

By remembering Nagasaki Day, we honor the lives lost and renew our commitment to building a world free from nuclear threats, fostering peace, and ensuring such tragedies never happen again.
