These are the only two nuclear bombs ever used in war, and with good reason. The devastation from the bombs was unfathomable, and as the extent of the destruction became public knowledge, the bombs themselves became a symbol of the atrocity of war.
Sadly, the threat of nuclear weapons seems to have faded from the public consciousness, even as the fear of terrorist attacks looms large. With all the talk of "dirty bombs" and "suitcase bombs," the fact is that more than 30,000 nuclear weapons remain in the arsenals of the eight countries that admit to having any.
According to the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the population in Japan in October 1940 was estimated to be 73,114,308; in November 1945 the population was estimated at 71,998,104. Japan was visibly a thriving country that was hit very hard by the bombing.
That u should stay VERY FAR AWAY when they blow up.

Americans dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to defeat them.
There were two atomic bombs use during WWII. They were called the 'Little Boy' and 'Fat Man.'

First of all Kid they didn't use Nuclear weapons in WW2...They used two Atomic Bombs
We have learned at how destuctive they can be and that atomic bombs really don't need to be used unless we really need them.
During WWII the atomic bombs were dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
They have learned better.
They learned not to drop atomic bombs even through their silly nuclear arms race during the Cold War. Trust me no one wants to send off an atomic missile because a huge part of the world would be annihilated.

Iron bombs are used today to separate them from atomic/flame/and smart bombs. During WW1 & WW2 there was only a need to use the terms fire bombs or general purpose bombs (High Explosive). During the Korean War, we had to separate the atomic bomb from fire bombs and general purpose bombs. During the Vietnam War, the same separations had to be termed. By the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, SMART Weapons had to be added to the ATOMIC, FIRE, GENERAL PURPOSE bombs...so the accepted term for General Purpose (High Explosive) bombs came to be known as IRON BOMBS; aka Dumb Bombs.
