What third Japanese city was planned to be atomic bombed after Nagasaki and Hiroshima?

Answer 1

After Hiroshima was bombed, the next target was Kokura. Because it was overcast with clouds, the bomber was directed to go to the secondary target, Nagasaki.

Answer

Several target cities were available, but none was scheduled to be bombed next that this contributor is aware of. If a third Japanese city was to be bombed, then a third bomb would have had to been prepared, as only two were sent to Tinian. The choice of a target city would have been made later, but it never came to that. Of course, Japan had to presume that Tokyo might be next.

Answer 2

The second city destroyed by the Atomic bomb was Nagasaki in Japan.

The Japanese did not surrender when Hiroshima (the first city) was bombed. They only surrendered after Nagasaki (the second city) was bombed.

This was the time first Atomic Bombs had been used in anger. Since then the Geneva Convention has banned the use of atomic weapons in warfare.

Answer 3

Nagasaki

Although it was hit by a more powerful bomb, the damage was less than at Hiroshima due to Nagasaki's hilly terrain.

Answer 4

Nagasaki
