On August 6 and 9, 1945, the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by the first atomic bombs used in warfare. The first atomic bomb ever to be used in a military operation was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, Japan On August 6, 1945 at 8:16:02 a.m. Hiroshima time. The bomb, affectionately named "Little Boy," exploded 1,900 feet above the courtyard of Shima Hospital, with a force equivalent to 12,500 tons of TNT. By the end of 1945, 140,000 people had died as a direct result of the bombing. Within the following five years, another 60,000 would die of bomb-related causes.

The bomb killed men, women, and children indiscriminately. It killed both military personnel and civilians. Although the city produced military items and housed soldiers, it was not selected as a "purely military target" as President Truman had promised. There were six civilians in Hiroshima to every soldier.

The second bomb, called "Fat Man," exploded over Nagasaki, Japan, at 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945. It exploded at 1,650 feet with a force of 22,000 tons of TNT. 70,000 people lost their lives in Nagasaki by the end of 1945 due to the bombing. A total of 140,00 died within two weeks.
Those bombs killed 90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 in Nagasaki.
220,000 i think
i'm doing the same in history. ave got my history book downstairs but cant be bothered to go get it haha.
90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 in Nagasaki.
About 100,000 per target city, roughly the same as resulted from a 1000 plane firebombing raid.
Probably nil. There have only been two atomic bomb launches on actual cities (in WWII, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki) that killed millions of people BACK THEN. But now, the radiation probably faded away, and thus causes no more deaths.
An H-Bomb is 1000 times stronger than an atomic bomb. Atomic explosions are based on splitting atoms and is a fission explosion or fission bomb. The Hydrogen bomb (also called H-Bomb) is a Fusion reaction where atoms are forced together. Atomic bombs were used in World War II, Hydrogen bombs have been tested, but not used in war.
The atomic bomb was created in Los Alamos, New Mexico. many people may think that it was made in New York because the project behind the building of the atomic bomb was called the Manhattan Project. it is called this because it is named after the location of Columbia University that held much of the early research for the nuclear program. Today there is a museum of the atomic bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico where you can visit and learn more about the atomic bomb.
Stopped expansion of Japan in WW2. Ironically, we dropped the A bomb and killed many to save much more.
The Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in World War II, weighed around 65,000 pounds (29,500 kilograms) when it dropped the bomb.
ya because of atomic so much of people and childs could be died.And country spoiled
Yes, the radiation was much more abundant after the atomic bomb.
If the atomin bomb didnt work. The preident (Harry Truman) would launch an all-out attack on Japan that I would estimate kill as much people as 20 atomic bombs.
Alot
An atomic weapon unleashes the power of the sun.
60,000-80,000
It depends on the size of the bomb
Probably nil. There have only been two atomic bomb launches on actual cities (in WWII, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki) that killed millions of people BACK THEN. But now, the radiation probably faded away, and thus causes no more deaths.
