On August 6, 1945 -- in retribution for Japan's failure to surrender and to sign the Potsdam Accord -- an atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, Japan, by Allied Forces. On August 9, a second bomb was released upon the city of Nagasaki. On August 15, the jubilant Gen. Douglas MacArthur and defeated Emperor Hirihito signed the Potsdam Accord, effectively ending World War II. Learn More About VJ Day Learn More About the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Learn More About Nagasaki Learn More About the Atomic Bomb "In two weeks the sheeplike masses of any country can be worked up by the newspapers into such a state of excited fury that men are prepared to put on uniforms and kill and be killed, for the sake of the sordid ends of a few interested parties. Compulsory military service seems to me the most disgraceful symptom of that deficiency in personal dignity from which civilized mankind is suffering today." -- Albert Einstein |

Japanese Bobtail Cats |
 |
Nagasaki, Japan is the home of the Japanese Bobtail Cat. Its unique short tail, while rumored to be the result of deliberate human mangling of the common domestic cat, results from a genetic anomaly. These cats were first bred in the US in 1968, and quickly became popular at cat fancier's shows. The breed has been recognized by the CFA in competion since 1993. |
