150,000 - 246,000 killed 410,000 suffering from radiation poisoning

Hiroshima had a civilian population of almost 300,000 and was an important military center, containing about 43,000 soldiers. An estimated 140,000 people were killed instantly or died within a few months. Tens of thousands more died from radiation poisoning in the years following. Three days later, another bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing about 80,000 people. Japan surrendered less than a week later.

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.
