  • Wreck Trips to Bikini Atoll
    Wreck Trips to Bikini Atoll Photo by Jesper Kjøller About Operation Crossroads The Critical Experiment After WWI ended in the early 1900s, and following a mandate from the League of Nation, the Japanese took over the administration of the Marshall Islands. This then resulted in an intensifying of the military presence in the islands, in anticipation of WWII. Bikini, Truk Lagoon, and other low-lying, peaceful coral atolls became strategic points of interest. Life for the Bikini Islanders wasn’t peaceful anymore as the Japanese began building watchtowers to keep an eye out for an American invasion. Bikini Atoll became a key outpost for the Japanese headquarters in the Marshalls. In February 1944, American forces took Kawajalein and the Marshall Islands by force. The Japanese control over the Marshalls was lost. There were five Japanese soldiers left on Bikini. Instead of allowing themselves to be captured, they blew themselves up with a grenade while hiding out in a foxhole. Post WWII, in December 1945, then US President Harry Truman, informed the US Army and Navy that the testing of nuclear weapons would be undertaken “to determine the effect of atomic bombs on American warships.” Unluckily for Bikini, its location and isolation from sea and air routes meant it was chosen as a nuclear testing point, these tests came to be named Operation Crossroads. Commodore Wyatt, then military governor of the Marshall Islands, went to Bikini in February 1946. After church on a Sunday, he gathered the native Bikini Islanders and asked them to leave their home so the US could begin testing bombs.
