Humanities Learning Center “Brown Bag” event – “Hiroshima and Nagasaki: War Crime or Tragic Necessity?”


To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of WW2, Delta history professor Michael Evans and politics professor Ryan Petersen debate the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Was it a war crime that killed tens of thousands of civilians in a war that was practically over? Or did it save the lives of millions who would have died had the USA been forced to invade Japan to end the war?

2.00-3.30 PM, Wednesday September 24

Room N007 (Delta main campus)
