How many atomic bombs did the United states drop during world war 2?

Answer 1

ANSWER ONE:

two

1. Uranium Little Boy bomb on Hiroshima August 6, 1945
2. Plutonium Fatman bomb on Nagasaki August 9, 1945

Japan surrendered August 14, 1945 and signed the formal treaty in early September; if they had not a third bomb was ready and would have been dropped in late August, with 3 more in September, 3 more in October, 7 more in November, and 7 more in December until they did surrender. If they did not surrender in 1945 a new schedule for 1946 and on would have been developed as needed.

But fortunately only the two were needed to end the war.

ANSWER TWO:

Two on the former Imperial Japan which are mentioned in answer one. However the first officially recognized detonation, a test detonation, occurred on top of a tower platform in Alamogordo, New Mexico with an explosive force of approximately 18,000 tons of TNT during 16 July 1945.

There is also the possible misfired atomic weapon explosion of 17 July 1944, which occurred at 2220 GMT (10:20PM), Western Standard Time, near the military port of San Fransisco, California. The military port of San Fransisco Bay, California went up in flames, disintegrating two ships and an entire train, while the blast killed 320-323 people service-members instantly. Another 390 service-members and civilians were injured, while the effects of radiation exposure on this region are inconclusive. The port of Port Chicago, California was used as the decontamination port by the Navy; however Port Chicago was one of the neighboring towns damaged by the effects of this detonation... Provided that this was a time when the damaging effects of radiation exposure were challenged and sometimes even laughed at, the government clearly did not take the appropriate course of action in decontamination provided that it may have been a nuclear weapon.

With a yield of 1,780 tons of TNT according to previous US officials, the bomb blast was able to be seen within a 35 mile radius, and destroyed the windows of neighboring towns within a 20 mile radius, while also leaving a column of smoke approximately 12,000 feet high in the night sky. However the suggestion a 1,780 kiloton force does not carry weight in light of other evidence, such as that the blast caused a crater of 66 feet deep, 300 feet wide and 700 feet long beneath the water from which the event originated from. A five-kiloton nuclear bomb on the surface of wet soil creates a crater 53 feet deep and 132 feet in diameter. This implies that the detonation occurred on the water's surface or within proximity to the surface. There were also reports of a wall of water approximately 20 feet high having swept through the bay and crashing on shore. Some of the blast was absorbed by the hull of a ship in the bay that indicated the blast exceeded five kilotons. Also, the eye witness testimony described the blast as having a white flash which reportedly only occurs with nuclear weapons yielding a force of 5 kilotons and greater.

The official story in the US remains that this was not a nuclear weapon explosion, however there is video footage that came to light to the American public during that time, which the government is on record for accusing Hollywood of creating. Most notably, the footage that the US government is on record for having accused of being a Hollywood creation seems to be censored from the American public. There are however viewable clips of the fire that transpired from this explosion, most of which seem to use dubbed sound effects of explosions without actual filmed explosions taking place that do not sound like atomic weapon blasts or the shudders created by such. Also, there are many records that were reported by the Court of Inquiry, the official department/agency of that time assigned to investigating the matter, to have been destroyed or coincidentally vanished especially regarding various materials being freighted and carried in the affected area and by the affected vehicles/craft.

What is missing from the possibility of a nuclear weapon detonation is the cause of the detonation itself. It might have been an act of sabotage by someone, or some group, with nefarious intentions for America. If this is what happened, then it might be likely that such an entity continues to have control over the US, provided that the video footage of the blast and mushroom cloud following have been first condemned by officials and then omitted from public record- or extremely hard to come by... Or, it might have just been an error in what might have been one of the first atomic weapons, and the US government was too embarrassed to admit what truly happened. The again, it might all just be some kind of conspiracy theory that was caused by a conventional weapons explosion mixed with the anti-nuclear energy hysteria of some groups that seem to encircle nuclear energy.

Whether the fourth mention atomic weapon explosion did or did not happen, there were at least three atomic weapons, if not four, that were dropped/detonated during World War 2.

Answer 2

An atomic bomb has been used twice against Another Country, and that was when the U.S. dropped two bombs on Japan during World War II.

Answer 3

Only two were dropped on Japan in the second world war.

Answer 4

exactly two.
