What was the importants of Hiroshima in World War 2?
The horrific atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had the net balance of saving thousands and thousands of lives. The bombings ended the war. Had only Japan owned the Atomic Bomb in WW2 (instead of USA), Japan would have continued fighting and won world dominance. The greatest importance of Hiroshima in WW2 was and still is The Dreadful Reminder.
What two cities in Japan were bombed in World War 2?
The 2 cities in Japan that were bombed by the US in World War 2 are Hiroshima & Nagasaki. There is barely any remains of the attack anymore. Much of it has been cleaned up and rebuilt. There are a few memorials and there are still marks on the walls which are actually vaporized humans that were vaporized during the bombing.The two cities that were bombed in Japan were:Hiroshima (6th August 1945)Nagasaki (9th August 1945)
Do people still live in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Yes, in fact they are both large, thriving cities. Nuclear airbursts like Hiroshima and Nagasaki do not have as much long-lasting radiation as ground or ocean bursts.
Who took the dead and dying away in hiroshima and nagasaki?
That was a work for the people who were still living in Japan after the bombs.
How did the Hiroshima bombing affect unborn infants?
The two most frequently cited nuclear contamination events are the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Chernobyl meltdown. Babies exposed to the bomb's radiation while still in utero were found to have lower IQs, higher rates of mental disability, and impaired physical growth and development.

If the trinity test site is still radioactive why aren't Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
The Trinity site is now hardly radioactive, actually you would get more radiation poisoning from sitting near a television for a few hours than from being at the trinity site overnight. So basically the Trinity site is no more radioactive than Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
What affect did World War 2 have on the world?
One of the main events was the Holocaust, in which over 6.2 million Jews were killed and tortured in the Nazis' concentration camps. 'Experiments' (that I won't go into, but be sure that is was terrible) were preformed on them, and only a fraction survived. Another problem was the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, by order of Harry S. Truman, President. He ordered the nuclear bombs Little Boy to be dropped on Hiroshima, and Fat Man to be dropped on Nagasaki. It still haunts the history of japan. The bombings, which were the first actual use of nuclear weapons in history, were developed in the Manhattan Project, which tested the weapons. Still, the trenches and cliff-bunkers and tank-busters are standing on the beaches of Normandy, France from the invasion of D-Day. D-Day got it's name from the files on it, which didn't exactly specify the date.
Are effects of the bombing of japan still lingering?
If your question refers to the emotional character of Japan, the answer will eternally be "Yes." The events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are so burned in the Japanese psyche and modern identity that time will not erase them. (This is similar to the effect of the Holocaust on the Jewish psyche or 9-11 on the American psyche.) If you are referring to physical effects, then the answer is different. The land itself has more or less returned to pre-bombing conditions (i.e. grass grows, the river water is as potable as it was, etc.) There are certain exceptions such as burned shadows and the like, but overall the places at the epicenter of the bombings show few lasting marks of the event. (This is from an environmental perspective. The bomb did eviscerate entire neighborhoods which no longer exist.) If you are referring to human maladies, the numbers of those who claim illnesses caused by the blast are tapering off, but only because most of those who were severely effected have already passed. There are still, however, a higher incidence of radiation-related diseases in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki areas.
How many other countries were occupying japan when the U.S. bombed hiroshima and nagasaki?
After the bombs Russia invaded the Japanese Islands of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands which are still controlled by Russia today.
