	Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nagasaki during World War II The city of Nagasaki had been one of the largest sea ports in southern Japan and was of great wartime importance because of its wide-ranging industrial activity, including the production of ordnance, ships, military equipment, and other war materials.
		Nagasaki had been permitted to grow for many years without conforming to any definite city zoning plan; residences were erected adjacent to factory buildings and to each other almost as closely as possible throughout the entire industrial valley.
		While the damage from these few bombs were relatively small, it created considerable concern in Nagasaki and a number of people—principally school children—were evacuated to rural areas for safety, thus reducing the population in the city at the time of the nuclear attack.

		Nagasaki Tamako, also known as Miss Nagasaki, is an Ambassador Doll - one of 58 sent from Japan to America in 1927 as part of an exchange of dolls between children of the two lands.
		Her story spans 75 years: with beginnings as a goodwill gesture in 1927, she travelled throughout the United States, spent decades under the wrong name, was reidentified as a result of a researcher's quest, and now carries out her renewed mission in another century.
		There are gulfs of cultures and time to be bridged in order to fully appreciate the significance of Nagasaki Tamako and her sisters - dolls are perceived and valued differently in America than they are in traditional Japanese culture, and differently now than they were in the world of 1927.

	Hiroshima and Nagasaki by Ralph Raico
		If the Germans had dropped atomic bombs on cities instead of us, we would have defined the dropping of atomic bombs on cities as a war crime, and we would have sentenced the Germans who were guilty of this crime to death at Nuremberg and hanged them.
		The destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a war crime worse than any that Japanese generals were executed for in Tokyo and Manila.
		Fuller, who was similarly scathing on the terror-bombing of the German cities, characterized the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki as "a type of war that would have disgraced Tamerlane." Cf.
