Hiroshima Peace Park
Before
After the Nuclear Bomb
Is it true that what goes around comes around?
What I found a bit interesting about the museum was learning that the regiment from Hiroshima was also the regiment who attacked parts of China and participated in the "Rape of Nanking".
Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Casualties = 140,000 estimated deaths
Rape of Nanking (Nanking Massacre)= 300,000 estimated deaths
The atomic bomb saved many lives and helped the Japanese make their decision to surrender, avoiding a massive "D-day" type of invasion on the Japanese mainland from the Americans, Russians and Chinese.
