Where did the US drop the atomic bomb in ww1?

It didn't. Wrong war. It wasn't invented until WWII.In WW2 however the atomic bomb was dropped on two cities from japan; first on Hiroshima, then a second dropped on Nagasaki when japan didn't surrender after the first atomic bomb.Japan was given no opportunity to surrender after the first atomic bomb. Truman's order to use the atomic bomb authorized use as they became available. The only reason Japan had a chance to surrender after the second and before the third atomic bomb was the third was still being prepared and crated for shipment at Los Alamos. Had Japan not surrendered the third atomic bomb would have left San Francisco on a B-29 on August 18 and probably been dropped between August 25 to August 28.There were another 20 more atomic bombs scheduled for production & delivery on Japan from September through December of 1945.

How did Japan get out of world war 2?

The US dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and told them they would drop another if Japan did not surrender. They didn't surrender, so the US dropped a second atom bomb. The US then told Japan that they would send a THIRD atom bomb (which they actually didn't have. It was a HUGE bluff), and luckily for mankind, the Japanese DID surrender.


Who was the leader that dropped the second atomic bomb?

What do you mean, "leader"? Harry Truman was president of the US when both the first and second atomic bombs were dropped. The commander of the aircraft the "second" bomb (actually the third detonated, but the second to be "dropped" since the first was a test explosion and was not dropped but rather mounted on a tower) was dropped from was Major Charles W. Sweeney.


Did the US have a third bomb available in World War 2?

No. The test device detonated in July and the two dropped on Japan exhausted the available fissile uranium. Work was continuing around the clock at Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Hanford, Washington to refine more, but it would have been several months before another operational bomb was ready.

When was the atomic bomb completed?

august 6 1945 was the first and the second bomb was on august 9 1945.add. The first bomb exploded under the Manhattan Project was on July 16 1945, not long before the second and third bombs (above) were dropped in wartime.


Why did Truman order the second atomic bomb to be dropped in Nagasaki?

Truman did not specifically order either the first or second atomic bombings, actual orders for them were given in the field in accordance with his order. His order to use the atomic bomb on Japan was a blanket order, to drop the bombs as soon as they became available for use unless ordered otherwise. The third bomb did not become available until Japan had announced its intention to surrender, so it was not used.A grand total of 23 atomic bombs were scheduled for production in 1945. Had Japan not surrendered when they did Truman's original order authorized dropping them all on Japan with no more action on his part.


Are there really three atom bombs if there are not how many are there is there seriously one named Junior?

Yes there was a third atomic bomb named Junior.But the bomb was never used.Insead it was buried,on an unmapped island.But the reason they did not use it was Beacuse they did not have to.Beacuse after Fat Man and Little Boy was built and dropped the war ended. So that caused them not to use the third atomic bomb,Junior.
