Where did the US drop the atomic bomb in ww1?

It didn't. Wrong war. It wasn't invented until WWII.In WW2 however the atomic bomb was dropped on two cities from japan; first on Hiroshima, then a second dropped on Nagasaki when japan didn't surrender after the first atomic bomb.Japan was given no opportunity to surrender after the first atomic bomb. Truman's order to use the atomic bomb authorized use as they became available. The only reason Japan had a chance to surrender after the second and before the third atomic bomb was the third was still being prepared and crated for shipment at Los Alamos. Had Japan not surrendered the third atomic bomb would have left San Francisco on a B-29 on August 18 and probably been dropped between August 25 to August 28.There were another 20 more atomic bombs scheduled for production & delivery on Japan from September through December of 1945.

Are the a bomb and h bomb the same?

Yes and no.A-bomb or Atomic Bomb is a generic term simply meaning a bomb getting its energy from the atom. This name has become commonly used to mean Fission bomb.Nuclear Bomb is a generic term simply meaning a bomb getting its energy from the nucleus of the atom, can be used interchangeably with Atomic bomb as a generic term.Fission Bomb is a term for a specific type of Atomic/Nuclear bomb getting its energy from the fission (breaking up) of large atomic nuclei (e.g., Uranium or Plutonium).Fusion Bomb, H-bomb, or Hydrogen Bomb is a term for a specific type of Atomic/Nuclear bomb getting its energy from the fusion (combining) of small atomic nuclei (e.g., Deuterium or Tritium).Most modern Nuclear Weapons use combinations of Fission and Fusion to get desired results. This makes it hard to put them in fixed categories.Hope this helps some to clarify things.
