Barak Obama becomes the first US president to visit Hiroshima, the place where the US flights has dropped the atom bomb on 6th August 1945. The Bomb named as “Little Boy” has resulted in immediate death of thousands of civilians. It’s estimated to have effected lakhs of people due to the radiation it has caused. After three days of explosion, another bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, formally ending the second World War.
Despite the huge loss caused to humanity by such bombings, many Americans still feel it to be a necessary act to end the war. Higher diplomats in US has always avoided a visit to Hiroshima. But in recent times, US leaders began to break the trend. Recently, John Kerry became the first US secretary to visit Hiroshima. Now! Obama is scheduled to visit the war memorial at Hiroshima this month. But! As you can expect... He is not going to apolozise for gruesome act committed by US on that day, which has left a mark on human history.
