The civilian casualties in Dresden, Germany, during the Allied bombing in February 1945 are estimated to be between 25,000 and 35,000, while the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 resulted in an estimated 140,000 and 74,000 deaths, respectively, by the end of that year. While Dresden's toll was significant, the immediate and long-term effects of the atomic bombs caused far greater destruction and loss of life. Additionally, the context of these bombings differs; Dresden was targeted as part of conventional warfare, whereas Hiroshima and Nagasaki were specific targets for nuclear warfare, marking a pivotal moment in military history.
Was the Japanese surrender after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki largely coincidental and not directly related to the bombing of those two cities?
The Japanese surrender following the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was significantly influenced by the atomic bombings, as they demonstrated the devastating power of nuclear weapons and the potential for further destruction. However, other factors also played a role, including the Soviet Union's declaration of war on Japan and the ongoing military situation in the Pacific. While some argue that Japan was already on the verge of surrender, the bombings accelerated the decision. Thus, while not solely responsible, the bombings were a crucial catalyst in Japan's eventual surrender.

While nuclear weapons have been tested quite frequently in the past by numerous countries, they have only been used twice in wartime. Both times were by the United States of America against Japan during World War II. The bomber "Enola Gay" deployed the "Little Boy", an untested gun-type uranium powered nuclear weapon against Hiroshima, Japan on Monday, August 6, 1945 The bomber "Bocks Car" deployed the "Fat Man", a previously-tested implosion-type plutonium powered nuclear weapon against Nagasaki, Japan on Thursday, August 9, 1945. Kokura was the primary target, but the weather did not favour dropping the bomb there, so the secondary target, Nagasaki was chosen. The DoE estimates that 70,000 people died in the Hiroshima bombing, and 40,000 died in the Nagasaki bombing.
