Aaron Dupont: A world in pictures

Hiroshima 1945. This photo/event not only changed a nation or a community, but it changed the course of history. This event is what ended World war 2 along with the bombing of Nagasaki. This bomb completely changed the nation of Japan by killing a big chunk of it's population. In this picture people in this city are probably going about there usual everyday lives, oblivious to the fact that they are on the verge of being destroyed by an atom bomb. Not only did the blast kill many people but the radiation may have killed just as many. This event is also one of the most controversial moments in history. Should the US have reacted this way. Should they have killed so many innocent people. Was their another way to end the war. Many people think we could have found peace another way and ended the war without further violence. But other people still believe this was the only plausible way to end this grueling war. Was this the only solution. Thw orld may never know.
