Operation Crossroads Baker

The "Baker" explosion, part of Operation Crossroads, a nuclear weapon test by the United States military at Bikini Atoll, Micronesia, on 25 July 1946. The wider, exterior cloud is actually just a condensation cloud caused by the Wilson chamber effect, and was very brief. There was no classic mushroom cloud rising to the stratosphere, but inside the condensation cloud the top of the water geyser formed a mushroom-like head called the cauliflower, which fell back into the lagoon (compare with this image, a photo taken slightly later, after the condensation cloud had cleared). The water released by the explosion was highly radioactive and contaminated many of the ships that were set up near it. Some were otherwise undamaged and sent to Hunter's Point in San Francisco, California, United States, for decontamination. Those which could not be decontaminated were sunk a number of miles off the coast of San Francisco.

WOW-------so the destruction of WW2 only started in 1945?

and some Americans could have been affected by nuclear contamination and ?

so i did a little research on this interesting part of History, Atomic Explosion?


when i saw this BLOG, i talked to some of my East African Relatives and they gave me a History --- even I---a History lover did not recall

-------Definitions -- History, Scholarship and SCIENCE?


World War II, or the Second World War -- WWII or WW2, was a global war that was under way by 1934 and ended in 1945.

"The major participants placed their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources."

Entire economic, industrial and Scientific capabilities?

Steve, Would european COLONIES be considered Entire economic, industrial and Scientific capabilities?

If they ARE, then can Many People, Logically say that the Most Devastating Human Tragedy, most destruction that the Family of Adaam(saw) EVER experienced WAS for the purposes of furthuring Racialistic Racist destruction from paganChristian forces against Islaamic Forces.... a Crusade?

Point of History

Italo-Ethiopian War, which began in the Ogaden in December 1934.

The war was fought between the armed forces of Mussolini, the Kingdom of Italy (Regno d'Italia) and the armed forces of Abba Jiffar II, the Muslim ruler of Jimma (1875 - 1934) who led his kingdom under the supremacy of the Ethiopian Empire; the Ethiopian Empire which stretched from Colonial Kenya to Colonial Sudan.

didnt see that coming with only EuropeanCentric Definitions -----History, Scholarship and SCIENCE

and then when i looked up this question and answer---?

When did World War 2 officially end?

Answer:

it hasn't

A THOUSAND WORDS? ---- 2012 A TRILLION WORDS!
