The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki devastated the people of these cities. This, however, ended the conflict between the U.S. and Japan, but was it a good idea for the U.S.? Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed, and over one-hundred fifty thousand people were killed in the atomic bombings of Japan. The bombings by the United States were necessary because Japan was a powerful adversary that the United States needed to overcome in order to defeat Germany. They had started World War Two and put the Jewish people and gypsies and people they deemed not good enough for society in concentration camps. They were torturous places that starved, over-worked, and killed these people. It was oppressive in the extreme.

The greatest disaster in our nation's history. Thousands dead and even some pleading for someone to end their life.  Buildings from one to five stories crumbling to the ground. Large pits, some five feet deep covering the scorched earth like craters on the moon. What is this horrific event? The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 that rocked our nation.

On Wednesday, April 18, 1906, at 5:12 a.m., a 7.8- magnitude earthquake awakened the city of San Francisco. The earthquake lasted for sixty-five terrifying seconds of violent shaking and ended with an unknown number of dead family members, neighbors, as well as hundreds of thousands of people trapped in a city surrounded by water. To make matters worse, a series of fires broke out throughout the city. For three days, persistent, raging fires challenged the possibility of a coherent emergency response. By the end of the week, almost 98 percent of San Francisco's city structures in the most populated 521 blocks lay in ruins. At least 250,000 residents fled the city by ferry, train, car, and foot, at least 100,000 remained

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, over 70 countries helped donate money to people who were affected by Katrina. Some of them include Pakistan, China, India, and Qatar, all who made large donations. Kuwait donated 500 million dollars, the most out of all of the supporting countries. Millions of people were jobless after Katrina. President George W. Bush reduced funds for people affected by

The fall of man happened after Adam & Eve went against God’s command and listened to the suggestion of Satan, by taking fruit from the tree of knowledge of good, evil, and eternal life. Once God realized they had eaten the fruit he said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” (International Version. (2012) So God kicked them out of the Garden of Eden and sin entered the world. Tragedies like 9/11 and The Tsunami of 2004 are both no surprise to God. They just came about in different ways. 9/11 was done by the hands of man, but God allowed it to happen for whatever the reason. We cannot began to wonder why God

Could you imagine if you lost everything you have ever worked for your whole life? After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake struck, many people lost everything they had. Over 3,000 people were left dead with a crashing economy, a city full of complete devastation, and years that it would take to try and rebuild the city. Even though the later effects of the earthquake brought people together, the immediate effects broke families apart. The reason is because so many people lost family members and friends. One of the only positive outcomes that arose after the earthquake was the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition being held in San Francisco. This event brought remembrance to the incident,

In 1945, President Truman had to make the most difficult decision of his life. Truman had to decide if the U.S. would drop an atomic bomb on Japan during WWII. He had a way to end the war with Japan, but doing so would unleash the most deadly weapon ever created.

Your used to the occasional earthquake but this earthquake will ruin your entire life. For this was the biggest earthquake in all of San francisco history. SF Tourism Tips says, “The San Francisco 1906 Earthquake was one of the largest and most significant in Northern California. This is typically referred to as the Great San Francisco Earthquake.” The earthquake of 1906 was one of the biggest earthquakes in California history. It was measured at a magnitude of 7.8. That is a big earthquake. In the two eyewitness accounts “Comprehending the Calamity” by Emma Burke, and “Horrific wreck of

The Johnstown Flood was caused by a man made lake, it was constructed in 1881. The dam was 900 feet by 72 feet. The dam was one of the largest earth dams, which means it was made by things like rocks and dirt instead of cement or steel which bridges are mostly made of. Johnstown was built on the Appalachian Plateau. It was the center of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club. The lake had been used for fishing and sailing. Before the dam broke, there had been many warnings that it was possible that it could break,but they had been ignored. “Messages were sent to Johnstown warning that the dam might give, but after years of false alarms, the messages were ignored. The water began to top the dam, and eventually it gave way” (“The Johnstown Flood”).

Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. In Haiti, 80% of the populations were under the poverty line and on January 12, 2010, a 7.3 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti (Amadeo, 2016) and more than fifty-nine aftershocks that followed. This natural disaster had a devastating effect on Haiti economy. Government and people around the world made donations and pledges of aid to Haiti. (History, 2017) About 230,000 people were killed due to the earthquake, and more than 300,000 people injured. The earthquake created $7.8 billion to $8.5 billion in damages, 106,000 people were left without homes and 188,383 homes damaged. About eighty percent of schools damaged or destroyed. (Amadeo, 2016)

August 29th 2005, the day Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans caused mass destruction and claimed the lives of many. The day the hurricane touched down it scored in at a category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale which puts it in the “major” category meaning “devastating” damage will occur. I don’t think anybody realized the mass amount of damage Katrina would really cause, it took lives, homes, land and so much more.

On August 29, 2005, 6:10 am, there was a horrible disaster that broke everyone 's heart. It was a Hurricane in New Orleans that also went past Mississippi and many more places. Hurricane Katrina. There were approximately 1,833 deaths. It was a tropical depression that formed in 2 hours in the Bahamas.

Have you thought about a natural disaster that happened years ago, leaving no effect on you at all? Why would you have a reason to? The effects of an earthquake that happened five years ago have probably been solved by now. Right? But unfortunately, the people of Haiti are still struggling and dying because of the earthquake that occurred five years ago. All of these problems are raising the number of orphaned children, and leaving them with no shelter, food, clothes, or a family to call their own.

The dropping of the atomic bombs on World War II on the city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a very important part of World War II. The atomic bomb ended the war between America and Japan. This was just one of the important events during the battle in World War II. The Battle at Pearl Harbor, where the Japanese attacked U.S. soil was also why the americans bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Some believe that the United States was correct in dropping these bombs on Japan because of the attack on Pearl Harbor while others believe that it was very wrong to dropped the bomb. I think the United States should have not dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because the atomic bombs was too expensive and it was not really worth it, they wiped out two entire cities, and Japan was planning on surrendering. The atomic bomb they used on Nagasaki cost 2 billion
