Japan Was Shocked: The "God Bomb" That Ended The War in 3 Days

Описание: #WWII #History #Documentary #AtomicBomb #Hiroshima #Nagasaki
In August 1945, the Empire of Japan was a nation poised on the brink of self-annihilation. With their cities in ruins and their armies in retreat, the government prepared for a final, suicidal battle against the Allies, a plan known as Ketsu-Go. They would arm every man, woman, and child with bamboo spears to meet the invaders, under the motto "One Hundred Million Souls, Shattered Like Jewels."
But half a world away, a secret weapon born in the deserts of New Mexico was about to rewrite the end of the war. The Manhattan Project, led by J. Robert Oppenheimer, had harnessed the power of the atom, creating a "God Bomb" of unimaginable force.
This documentary chronicles the final, terrifying days of World War II. We explore the scientific race against the Nazis, the awe-inspiring power of the Trinity Test, and the fateful decision to use the bomb. We then recount, in vivid detail, the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—two cities erased from existence in the blink of an eye.
Finally, we go inside the secret bunkers of Tokyo's leadership, detailing the political paralysis, the shock of the Soviet invasion, and the unprecedented moment when Emperor Hirohito himself intervened to make the "sacred decision" to surrender. This is the story of how a new and terrible fire ended the deadliest conflict in human history in just three days, and in doing so, plunged the world headfirst into the Atomic Age.
