An atomic bomb was dropped on it.

In 1942 a group of scientist (the Manhattan Project) formed to build a uranium bomb that would be used to assist American forces during World War II. Soon after the bombs were ready to be used, Germany surrendered leaving the decision of what to do with the bombs up to the United states new president Harry S. Truman. He made the decision to bomb Hiroshima Japan.

On August 6, 1945 a nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima Japan. It is estimated that over 200,000 casualties were caused by this bomb, with a large number of them being caused after the bomb by radiation poisoning.

In 1945 Hiroshima became the first city ever to be bombed by an atomic bomb. The second Japanese city, Nagasaki, was bombed on the 9th of August.

This was the only time that nuclear weapons have been used in warfare.
