Secondary history students and teachers would find http://www.hiroshima-remembered.com/ vital in learning about the dropping of the Atomic Bombs upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The website was created in 2005, the year of the 60th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it was created specifically for educators and students studying those events. The website includes photos and historical documents related to the events, all in thumbnail format for easy availability by the user. Separate thumbnails are each available for Hiroshima and Nagasaki where a detailed account of the bombings of each city is told. The website also has available maps that show the extent of damage inflicted upon the two cities. Video footage is also available on the site, one accounting the bombing of Nagasaki, and two videos of Hiroshima(one an account of the bombing and the other a video of the physical damage of Hiroshima). Teachers needing reference to the bombings for a lesson can make use of the site, and students needing to do a paper on the event can also make use of the site, especially those who do a paper on whether dropping the bombs was the right decision. Hiroshima-remembered.com gives a detailed account of the decision making process that Japan's Emperor, Prime Minister, and other military leaders had undergone after each of the bombs were dropped; of course, the account showed how the Japanese decision making and discussions led eventually to the unconditional surrender to the allies.
