Best Answer

The United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Both targets were military (Hiroshima contained a significant military HQ, and Nagasaki a substantial naval base). However, the target cities were also chosen to show off the massive amount of damage the atomic bomb could produce, which inevitably meant causing huge numbers of civilian deaths.
