Nagasaki, Japan
Nagasaki (長崎市 Nagasaki-shi) is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan. The city's name, 長崎, means Long Cape in Japanese. Nagasaki became a centre of colonial Portuguese and Dutch influence in the 16th through 19th centuries, and Churches and Christian Sites in Nagasaki have been proposed for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Part of Nagasaki was home to a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War.
During World War II, the American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Nagasaki the second and, to date, last city in the world to experience a nuclear attack

The history of Christianity in Nagasaki, Japan, spans 450 years and is one that deserves to be shared with the world. Entering Japan through Nagasaki, it flourished here more than any other places in the country.
Christianity survived despite a nationwide ban imposed in 1587.
After the lifting of the ban, Christianity flourished once again in the open.
Today, Nagasaki is a destination for many Christian pilgrims as it is home to the largest number of churches in Japan.

Unknown Mysteries On Hiroshima And Nagasaki Bombing
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
• World War II began on1st September 1939 and Japan was at war with China by 1937, but none of the nations declared war on the other.
• But, Japan had a surprise attack on the United States naval base “Pearl Harbor” on 7th December 1941. American naval vessels and airplanes were destroyed in the attack. More than 2400 Americans have died.
• Pearl Harbor attack made the Americans voice out for war against Japan. In 1945, American President Truman discussed the ongoing war in a conference. But, Japan refused to surrender to the US troops.
• Without any other option in sight, the US troops dropped the atomic bombs at Hiroshima on 6th August 1945 and at Nagasaki on 9th August 1945.

More than thousands of people were dead in the pathetic atomic bombing attacks. It is a still-spoken topic among us, but more things are yet to be revealed.
We are going to tell you Top 10 such reverential truths behind the unfading bombard.
Kokura – A Great Escape From Nuclear Bomb
• The Americans used only 700 mg (141 pounds) of matter to wreck Hiroshima.
• The atomic bomb named “Little Boy” attacked Hiroshima and it was made of uranium-235.
• The bomb used in Nagasaki was named “Fat Man” bomb, which was made of plutonium.
• The nuclear bomb was dropped from 1900 feet in Hiroshima.
• The heat generated from the explosion was intense and it permanently burned the shadows of people and objects into the ground.
• Only the three species of “Gingko Biloba” plant survived the attack without major deformations.
• Bernard Waldman, an American physicist, witnessed the first atomic explosion at Hiroshima.
• Waldman forgot to open the camera shutter and no film was exposed.
• The Pilots and the American soldiers were instructed to take cyanide pills if the mission “Hiroshima” was not accomplished!
• But, only 3 of the 12 people on board the Enola Gay actually knew the real purpose of the mission.
• The United States Air Force dropped pamphlets before the Hiroshima attack.
• Two leaflets were dropped on several Japanese cities. But, both did not directly refer the nuclear bombing attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
• The pamphlets only promised “prompt and utter destruction.”
• Pumpkin bombs were a replica of the “Fat Man” plutonium bomb.
• The United States Army Air Forces dropped 49 “pumpkin bombs” on 14 targets. The initial testing of them was done on 13th August 1943 at the Naval Proving Ground in Dahlgren, Virginia.
• Pumpkin bombs killed 400 people and injured 1200 people.
• To abolish the nuclear weapons worldwide, the “Flame of Peace” was lit on 1st August 1964 in Hiroshima.
• The flame will burn continuously till the planet is free from the threat of nuclear destruction.
• Tokyo University Professor “Kenzo Tange” designed its base.
• Flame of Peace helped to light other flames as a symbol of peace. In 1994, it lit the flame of the Asian Games held in Hiroshima.
• Tsutomu Yamaguchi is unique among the 165 people who survived both the bombings!
• He was the only person officially recognized by the Japanese government as the “twice-bombed person.”

Walking trip around Glover Garden in Nagasaki, Japan.
Glover Garden is an open air museum in Nagasaki that exhibits mansions of several of the city's former foreign residents and related buildings. It is located on the hill where Western merchants settled down after the end of Japan's era of seclusion in the second half of the 19th century.
The main attraction of the garden is the Former Glover House, the oldest Western-style wooden building in Japan. Thomas Glover (1838-1911) was a Scottish merchant who moved to Nagasaki after the opening of its port to foreign trade in 1859. He later assisted some of the revolutionaries who would eventually overthrow the Tokugawa Shogunate in the Meiji Restoration. Active in various industries, including shipbuilding and mining, Glover features prominently in the early history of Japan's industrialisation. (japan-guide.com)

Kaiwo Maru - Sasebo Harbor, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan
Kaiwo Maru II is a four-masted barque. She is 110.09 metres (361 ft 2 in) long overall, with a beam of 13.80 metres (45 ft 3 in) and a depth of 10.70 metres (35 ft 1 in). Kaiwo Maru II has a range of 9,800 nautical miles (18,100 km). The four masts are the fore mast, main mast, mizzen mast and jigger mast. The main mast is 43.50 metres (142 ft 9 in) tall. Her keel was laid by Sumitomo Heavy Industries on July 8, 1988 and she was launched on March 7, 1989. Kaiwo Maru II was completed on September 12, 1989
Kaiwo Maru II is a regular participant in international tall ship gatherings such as Operation Sail and is a multiple winner of the Boston Teapot Trophy. In 2010, Kaiwo Maru II visited San Francisco, California to commemorate the 1860 voyage of the Kanrin Maru, the first Japanese ship to officially visit the United States. About 90% of the journey was made under sail, and they brought one passenger, a retired businessman who is descended from one of the original Kanrin Maru crew members.
In March 2011, Kaiwo Maru II was on a voyage from Japan to Honolulu, Hawaii when an earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. She was subsequently diverted to Ōkuma, Fukushima where she served as accommodation for workers tackling the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant. - Wikipedia

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
During the final stage of World War II, the United States detonated two nuclear weapons over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively, with the consent of the United Kingdom, as required by the Quebec Agreement. The two bombings killed 129,000–226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in the history of armed conflict.
In the final year of the war, the Allies prepared for what was anticipated to be a very costly invasion of the Japanese mainland. This undertaking was preceded by a conventional and firebombing campaign that devastated 67 Japanese cities. The war in Europe had concluded when Germany signed its instrument of surrender on May 8, 1945. As the Allies turned their full attention to the Pacific theater, Japan faced the same fate. The Allies called for the unconditional surrender of the Imperial Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945—the alternative being prompt and utter destruction. Japan ignored the ultimatum and the war continued.
By August 1945, the Allies' Manhattan Project had produced two types of atomic bombs, and the 509th Composite Group of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) was equipped with the specialized Silverplate version of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress that could deliver them from Tinian in the Mariana Islands. Orders for atomic bombs to be used on four Japanese cities were issued on July 25. On August 6, one of the modified B-29s dropped a uranium gun-type (Little Boy) bomb on Hiroshima. Three days later, on August 9, a plutonium implosion (Fat Man) bomb was dropped by another B-29 on Nagasaki. The bombs immediately devastated their targets. Over the next two to four months, the acute effects of the atomic bombings killed 90,000–146,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000–80,000 people in Nagasaki; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day. Large numbers of people continued to die from the effects of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness and malnutrition, for many months afterward. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizable military garrison.
On August 15—six days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war—Japan announced its surrender to the Allies. On September 2 in Tokyo Bay, the Japanese government signed the instrument of surrender, which effectively ended World War II. The effects of ...

A complete tour of the Kaiwo Maru sailing barque in Toyama, Japan
The Kaiwo Maru is a former Japanese training barque. She was built by Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporation in Kobe, and was launched on 27 January 1930 alongside her sister ship Nippon Maru. The Kaiwo Maru was operated by the Tokyo Institute for Maritime Training to train officers for Japan's merchant marine. At the beginning of World War II, her sailing rig was removed and she served as a training and postwar transport motorship. In 1955, her rig was reinstalled and she resumed her training voyages until she was replaced in 1989 by her successor, also named Kaiwo Maru. She is now a museum ship located in Imizu, Toyama.
The Kaiwo Maru measures 97 metres (318 feet) long, with a beam of 12.95 metres (42.5 feet) and a draft of 6.90 metres (22.6 feet). Her gross tonnage is 2,286. She is rigged as a four-masted barque, with 32 sails covering 2,397 square metres (25,800 sq feet), and two 600-horsepower diesel engines for auxiliary functions. During her career as a training ship, she was manned by a crew of 27 officers, 48 seamen, and 120 trainees.
