The casualties from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs combined ran at about 250,000 killed immediately in the blast, with about 100,000 dying from radiation poisoning or injuries in the weeks and months that followed. Victims continued to perish of cancer or radiation poisoning for years following the bombings- if you include these as well, the total Death Rate reaches about half a million.

∙ 14y agoJapan's suffering was untold after the Little boy was dropped and Hiroshima and the Fat man on Nagasaki! The core of the Bomb produced intense heat and people in the vicinity up to about 750m meters from the target spot were instantly vaporized into dust moreover the people who escaped death endured even worse problems radiations caused by the bomb caused numerous unknown ailments ,the skin would peel off or wounds would never heal or heal quickly and open up again for no reason, pregnant women aborted and never conceived again and genetic mutations were caused by radiation so the mutant gene was transferred to next generation causing a variety of genetic diseases!

∙ 9y agoAbout the same as happened in two of the 500 to 1000 plane conventional firebombing raids, several of which happened every night. This came to about 100,000 each. Had the surrender not happened both the conventional and atomic bombings would have continued until it did. The US had plans and production facilities ready to drop 21 more atomic bombs on Japan before the end of 1945 and could have dropped many times that in following years if necessary.
However the important thing to remember was that the conventional firebombing raids already in progress were killing more Japanese every night than the two atomic bombs killed in total! Even had all 23 atomic bombs scheduled to be dropped in 1945 been used, conventional bombing and the invasion (which almost certainly would have involved US use of chemical weapons too) would have caused many more deaths than the atomic bombs could.

Why did America drop an Atomic weapon on two Japanese cities?
The most common answer to this question would be that the bombs were dropped in order to display the powerful new weapon and hopefully discourage Japan from continuing the fight. Harry Truman and those in charge at the time were well aware that continued battle would result in many more American casualties. Plans were being drafted for an invasion of the Japanese mainland, and they knew the Japanese would not give up their homeland easily. Also, the increasing numbers of Kamikaze attacks on American ships showed the resolve of the Japanese to win at all costs. With the newly developed atomic bomb, which had been successfully tested and found to be immensely powerful, the United States saw an opportunity to break the Japanese morale. One bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and the effect was such that had never been seen before. A second bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki after there was no plea for surrender by the Japanese after the first bomb. The second bomb also illustrated that the United States was capable of producing more than just one of these super weapons, and the Japanese realized that their inability to combat the new weapon and the destruction it caused rendered a continuing struggle pointless, as it would only lead to innumerable Japanese deaths and casualties.
