Us Participation on WWII (María Fernanda Urbina García)

The United States' participation in World War II is discussed, focusing on key events such as the landings, Pearl Harbor, and the atomic bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The importance of lend-lease arrangements in supporting the Allied war effort is highlighted. The attack on Pearl Harbor prompted the US to enter the war. Details about the atomic bombs, "Little Boy" and "Fat Man," and their devastating effects on Hiroshima and Nagasaki are provided. The video concludes with a mention of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the creator of the atomic bomb. Welcome again to the Wars Voice. My name is María Fernanda Vina-Garcia and in today's chapter we are talking about the United States' participation on World War II, especially about the landings, Pearl Harbor and the atomic bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It all started in the summer of 1940, Britain facing isolation and possible defeat. As Britain no longer had the financial resources needed to acquire vital raw material, the landless arrangement played a vital role in the months preceding the U.S. entry into the war. The largest land-loss victims were Great Britain, with $31 billion, and the Soviet Union, with $11 billion. Incorporating these figures was the value of goods such as aircraft, weapons, ammunition, clothing, and so on. Landless played a vital role in keeping the Allied war machine operating, especially in the months preceding the U.S. entry into the war. U.S.A. entry into the war Pearl Harbor was the site of an unprovoked nuclear attack on the United States by Japan on December 7, 1941. Before the attack, many Americans were reluctant to become involved into the war. It all changed with the United States' third war on Japan, bringing the country into World War II. Again, in context, Pearl Harbor was the most important American naval base in the Pacific and home of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Japan revolutionized the attack as a tribution of military and economic support from the U.S. to the Chinese Republic, and for the economic sanctions against Japan that shortly followed. The attack on Pearl Harbor had impacts far beyond the United States. Still a flawed attack and third war on the United States, its rebellion was its greatest ever in judgment. Just as Hirohito said, I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve. Little Boy and Fat Man Little Boy is a gun-type running bomb with a weight of 9,700 pounds. The bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, at 8.15 a.m. It struck five square miles of the city and caused about 140,000 deaths of mostly citizens. A V-39 dropped the bomb from 31,000 feet and it exploded about 1,500 feet above the city with a force of 15,000 tons of TNT. The name of the plane was the Nona Gate, named after the pilot's mother. Talking about Fat Man, an explosion-type plutonium bomb with a weight of 10,800 pounds, it ran on Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945, at 11.01 a.m. There it struck three square miles of the city and caused about 140,000 deaths. Its primary target was Kokura Arsenal, but because of the susceptible weather conditions and the aircraft gunfire at Kokura, Meshwini, the pilot, decided to switch to his secondary target, Nagasaki. And we come to the end of this video. J. Robert Oppenheimer, creator of Atomic Bomb.
