Suffering of the Japanese People

During conflict, something happens to the people involved.  There are many ways that people are changed by conflict, especially something as big as the nuclear strike on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  The most obvious way people are changed, is that suddenly people go from living to being dead.  When the atomic bomb was dropped, tens of thousands of people experienced this change immediately.  This change ties in with another, and that is the change in attitude.  Any person can go from happy and cheerful to mournful and sad from the loss of a loved one.  One Japanese woman encouraged her family to move to Hiroshima a couple days before the bomb was dropped, so she felt responsible for the death of her family.  This can make people hate themselves, and maybe commit suicide.  Knowing a family member is dead can make people extremely sad, and change people from having a positive to a negative one.  Also, witnessing death, or seeing dead bodies, can make people scared, and they never forget the looks of a lifeless human.  They can become traumatized, afraid, and/or paranoid.  Some people were mutated during the atomic bomb strike during exposure to radiation, and seeing them can make people scared, disgusted, or feel sorry for them.  If someone saw themself like that, the feeling would be multiplied greatly.  The biggest change is fear, fear of the power the other countries of the world have over them.  Even outside of Japan, people feared the weapon that the United States had created, with the power to destroy cities.  Almost all the changes from this conflict are negative, the only positive change would be American citizens being proud of their country and being glad the war is over.

How bad does it look for the future, now that these bombs have been dropped?  Distrust between Japan and the USA is obvious.  How could you trust someone who dropped nuclear weapons on you?  During future wars, Japan might side against the USA on purposed, biased on the hate they feel towards the country that dropped nuclear bombs on them.  However, when the USA used the bombs, ever country wanted to develop nuclear weapons, so as they could stand a chance against the USA and Germany (Germany was already developing it before the US, but finished after).  Now that more countries have it, future wars might use those nuclear bombs and missiles against their enemies, and if one goes off, it could start a chain reaction that could destroy the whole world with nuclear warfare.
