The bombs kill over 100,000 people and flatten large parts of the urban area. The Japanese government is actually meeting while the second bomb is dropped to consider their response to the first and to the demands for unconditional surrender. The response is not just to that first bomb, though, for on the 8th the Soviets tell the Japanese not only that they will not help them negotiate some sort of settled peace with the other Allies, they too are declaring war on Japan, and indeed invade Manchuria. With two atomic bombs and an invasion instead of mediating help, Japanese Emperor Hirohito cuts off any debate and says that Japan will surrender. This could happen next week.<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Intro<br \/>\n00:17 Recap<br \/>\n00:44 Hiroshima Bombing<br \/>\n02:35 The Bombing Mission<br \/>\n04:19 Descriptions Of The Blast<br \/>\n06:38 The Nagasaki Bomb<br \/>\n07:37 The Tactics<br \/>\n08:31 The Japanese Response<br \/>\n12:55 Soviets Invade Manchuria<br \/>\n16:18 Splitting Korea<br \/>\n18:07 Operation Zipper<br \/>\n19:31 End Notes<br \/>\n20:08 Summary<br \/>\n20:30 Conclusion<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Join us on Patreon: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TimeGhostHistory\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TimeGhostHistory<\/a><br \/>\nOr join The TimeGhost Army directly at: <a href=\"https:\/\/timeghost.tv\/signup\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/timeghost.tv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow WW2 day by day on Instagram @ww2_day_by_day &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ww2_day_by_day\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ww2_day_by_day<\/a><br \/>\nFollow Timeghost History on Instagram &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/timeghosthistory\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/timeghosthistory<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source list: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/WW2sources\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/WW2sources<\/a><br \/>\nArchive footage: Screenocean\/Reuters &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.screenocean.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.screenocean.com<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Hosted by: Indy Neidell<br \/>\nDirector: Astrid Deinhard<br \/>\nProducers: Astrid Deinhard and Spartacus Olsson<br \/>\nExecutive Producers: Astrid Deinhard, Indy Neidell, Spartacus Olsson<br \/>\nCreative Producer: Marek Kami\u0144ski<br \/>\nCommunity Management: Jake McCluskey<br \/>\nWritten by: Indy Neidell<br \/>\nResearch by: Indy Neidell<br \/>\nMap animations by: Daniel Weiss<br \/>\nMap research by: Sietse Kenter<br \/>\nEdited by: Karolina Do\u0142\u0119ga<br \/>\nArtwork and color grading by: Miko\u0142aj Uchman<br \/>\nSound design by: Marek Kami\u0144ski<br \/>\nColorizations by:<br \/>\nMiko\u0142aj Uchman<br \/>\nDaniel Weiss<br \/>\nCarlos Ortega Pereira, BlauColorizations<\/p>\n<p>Image Sources:<br \/>\nMitsuo Matsushige <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFlVRWllWlRocVZxdGdXVkRMMlNVelhTRmotUXxBQ3Jtc0ttLV85MDd5ZHFZZnlHQ29HNG1OR0VtXzlrRGlXdGpLc25BeW1HS3E3Q2dQYWVhV1J1Nll1bWFKejlVUjVFU1FoS2o5SVdMYkMwZXNkeFBrVTlLb01fV00zWkFvcFg5VVFQUl8tcTJ5SE10dzl1eGdWVQ&#038;q=https%3A%2F%2Fcommons.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FFile%3A%25E5%258E%259F%25E5%25AD%2590%25E9%259B%25B2.jpg&#038;v=MyITPqJTrVI\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Fi&#8230;<\/a><br \/>\nMil.ru<br \/>\nRIA NOVOSTI<\/p>\n<p>Soundtracks from Epidemic Sound:<br \/>\n&#8220;Dark Beginning&#8221; &#8211; Johan Hynynen<br \/>\n&#8220;Deadline&#8221; &#8211; Marten Moses<br \/>\n&#8220;Disciples of Sun Tzu&#8221; &#8211; Christian Andersen<br \/>\n&#8220;Fly Baby Fly&#8221; &#8211; Fabien Tell<br \/>\n&#8220;Imperious&#8221; &#8211; Bonnie Grace<br \/>\n&#8220;Last Man Standing 3&#8221; &#8211; Johannes Bornl\u00f6f<br \/>\n&#8220;Last Minute Reaction&#8221; &#8211; Phoenix Tail<br \/>\n&#8220;Leave It All Here&#8221; &#8211; Fabien Tell<br \/>\n&#8220;Please Hear Me Out&#8221; &#8211; Philip Ayers<br \/>\n&#8220;Rememberance&#8221; &#8211; Fabien Tell<br \/>\n&#8220;Secret Cargo&#8221; &#8211; Craft Case<br \/>\n&#8220;The End Of The World 2&#8221; &#8211; H\u00e5kan Eriksson<br \/>\n&#8220;The Inspector 4&#8221; &#8211; Johannes Bornl\u00f6f<\/p>\n<p>A TimeGhost chronological documentary produced by OnLion Entertainment GmbH.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 10 Aug 2024 This week atomic bombs are for the first time in history dropped on cities &mdash; Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.
