How many people died in the Darwin bombings by the Japanese?
It is unknown how many people were killed in the Darwin bombings, but according to the original records, 243 civilians and military personnel were killed. This number was later revised to "about 250", and later again, revised upwards still. The real toll is believed to have been much higher, as these figures did not include the many Indigenous Australians who lived in the area. Also, not all of the crews of some of the merchant ships were fully known. There was one report in the 1990s which suggested the figure was 1,024, but there is no substance to this claim. It is interesting to note that, at the time, the government announced that 17 people had been killed, in an effort to preserve morale.

How did the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki illustrate the idea that World War 2 was a total war?
Most of the people killed by the atomic bombs were civilians, not members of the military. Of course this was also true of the many nightly 1000-plane firebombing raids that preceded (and followed) the two atomic bombings, until the Japanese surrendered. More Japanese were killed by conventional bombings, but the new threat of atomic devastation pushed Emperor Hirohito to admit that Japan was beaten.

What killed more people in Japan: regular bombings or the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
The regular bombings of Tokyo killed just as many people as the atomic bombs. The use of the atomic bombs were to motivate the Japanese populous to demand the Emperor and the Military stop the war. The Japanese did realize the US had weapon superiority and could wipe out Japan. The atom bomb dropping took less people to deliver the bomb and no loss of life to deliver the bomb. The conventional bombings took many more planes and airmen with some loss of planes and lives.
