On August 6, 1945, at 9:15 AM Tokyo time, a B-29 plane, the "Enola Gay" piloted by Paul W. Tibbets, dropped a uranium atomic bomb, code named "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan's seventh largest city. In minutes, half of the city vanished. According to U.S. estimates, 60,000 to 70,000 people were killed or missing, 140,000 were injuried many more were made homeless as a result of the bomb. Deadly radiation reached over 100,000. In the blast, thousands died instantly.
The city was unbelievably devastated. Of its 90,000 buildings, over 60,000 were demolished. Another bomb was assembled at Tinian Island on August 6. On August 8, Field Order No.17 issued from the 20th Air Force Headquarters on Guam called for its use the following day on either Kokura, the primary target, or Nagasaki, the secondary target. Three days after Hiroshima, the B-29 bomber, "Bockscar" piloted by Sweeney, reached the sky over Kokura on the morning of August 9 but abandoned the primary target because of smoke cover and changed course for Nagasaki.
Nagasaki was an industrialized city with a natural harbor in Western Kuushu, Japan. At 11:02 a.m., this bomb, known as the "Fat Man" bomb, exploded over the north factory district at 1,800 feet above the city to achieve maximum blast effect. Buildings collapsed. Electrical systems were shorted. A wave of secondary fires resulted, adding to their Holocaust.
Flash burns from primary heat waves caused most of the casualties to inhabitants. Others were burned when their homes burst into flame. Flying debris caused many injuries. A fire storm of winds followed the blast at Hiroshima as air was drawn back to the center of the burning area. Trees were uprooted. The bomb took the lives of 42,000 persons and injured 40,000 more. It destroyed 39 percent of all the buildings standing in Nagasaki. According to U.S. estimates, 40,000 people were killed or never found as a result of the second bomb.
it ended the war. Japan surrendered without conditions.
to bring an end of WW2, but also to make japan surrender
Japan agreed to surrender about a week after the Nagasaki bombing.
The atomic bomb explosions on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war.
To put things very simply, the outcome was total war against the Japanese Empire. Look up FDR's speech to Congress declaring war - "A day that will live in infamy!" WWII in the Pacific lasted until August 1945 and cost millions of lives. It led to the first and only use of atomic weapons in wartime, at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
For one thing, treatment of Allied prisoners began to improve, and food which was previously withheld to British, American, Dutch, Australian, and other Allied prisoners was increased. Most Japanese units were accepting of the war's outcome following the destruction of Hiroshima and the subsequent destruction of Nagasaki, but the fortress of Rabaul did not surrender until four days after the surrender of Japan. Some Japanese military individuals, even knowing of Japan's defeat, did not lay down their arms until years or decades later.
Nagasaki had the second atomic bomb dropped over on August 9 1945.
The world entered the atomic age on that day.
Germany was completely conquered by the U.S.S.R, England, and the U.S.A in 1945, and the territory was divided between the above countrys. Japan surendered to the U.S.A in 1945 after there desperate situation and the atomic bomb demonstrations in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. The concentration camps were liberated by Allies.
There is no " ultimate outcome " of evolution. Evolution just is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. It has no direction, it is not progressive, does not plan for the future, is not linear and it does not know what it wants. Such as " ultimate outcomes. "
Those were the last steps of the war. US won.
