Hiroshima was a city of considerable military importance. It contained the 2nd Army Headquarters, which commanded the defense of all of southern Japan. The city was a communications center, a storage point, and an assembly area for troops. To quote a Japanese report, "Probably more than a thousand times since the beginning of the war did the Hiroshima citizens see off with cries of 'Banzai' the troops leaving from the harbor."
The city of Nagasaki had been one of the largest sea ports in southern Japan and was of great war-time importance because of its many and varied industries, including the production of ordnance, ships, military equipment, and other war materials. The narrow long strip attacked was of particular importance because of its industries.

What is haroshima?
Hiroshima is a city in Japan. It was the first city to be attacked with nuclear weapons dropped by the United States to shorten the war. Dropped by a B 29 bomber on 6 August 1945, the Japanses government refused to surrender to the US and her allies. Despite the devastation of this first attack, Japan had to be nuked AGAIN to agree to a surrender. It is believed hundreds of thousands of lives were saved as the US did not have to invade Japan and the Japanese people did not have to "fight to the death" to defend their homeland . Hiroshima is still there and there are parts of the city that have been left unrepaired as a memorial to the loss of life. The US helped set up a post war constitution, left the Emporer in place and laid the foundation for a successful modern Japan.
