What was the geographical situation of Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped?
According to the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the population in Japan in October 1940 was estimated to be 73,114,308; in November 1945 the population was estimated at 71,998,104. Japan was visibly a thriving country that was hit very hard by the bombing.
The axis of World War II consisted of the Soviet Union (until they joined the Allies after Hitler broke the treaty over the invasion of Poland), Germany, Italy and Japan.
# edit; Not quite right. Poland was invaded on the 1st of September 1939. Russia remained an ally of Germany until invaded by Germany in mid-1941. Nearly two years later.
How did Japan react to Western ways of life?
Japan was never occupied or colonised by any European countries, and in the early days of trade with outsiders they were kept isolated and mixing with the local population was not allowed.

What are the dates of the World War I and world war 2?
The First World War began on 28th July 1914 when the Austro-Hungarian Empire invaded Serbia starting a vast chain of alliances. Great Britain (of which England is a part) declared war on Germany on the 4th of August, entering the war so for the British it starts then.
The armistice took effect on the 11th of November 1918, which normally counts as the end date, and the final treaty officially ending the war was signed on 28 June 1919 by Great Britain. Technically peace with Turkey wasn't signed until 1924 since the dust had to settle on the break up of the Ottoman Empire.
The Second World War wrapped in several seperate ongoing wars under it's banner the first of which began as a war in Asia between China and Japan in 1937, but it is generally held in the United Kingdom (Great Britain) to have begun on the 3rd of September 1939 with a declaration of war on Germany (again!), after the Germans had invaded Poland on the 1st of September. The Poles, understandably, date it from the 1st!
The Germans surrendered on the 7th (taking effect on the 8th) of May 1945 although isolated units fought on for a few more days against the Russians.
The war with Japan was ended by surrender on the 15th of August, although it took until the 2nd of September to make it offical. The War is thus considered to have ended by all parties on the 2nd September 1945.
So for Great Britain the Wars are:
4th Aug 1914 to 11th Nov 1918 and
3rd Sep 1939 to 2nd Sep 1945
Other countries have various shifting dates to reflect their own entry and exit from the wars.
When did Italy join Germany in World War II?
November 6, 1937 is when Italy joined the Anti-Comintern Pact, forming the Axis Powers.
Were the philliphines allies or axis?
The Filipinos fought with the Americans, but they lost the war in the Philippine's, So that makes them on the axis side.
Weapons used by the axis powers during World War 2?
There is not an exact answer to that question, as it is a debated topic. In my opinion, carriers proved to be decisive as they allowed one to transfer air support to places that were out of reach to planes being launched from land. However, the Nazis developed some pretty crazy things, some of which (namely the V2 missile and the ME 262 jet fighter) were not decisive as they came to late in the war to make much of a difference, but were quantum leaps in warfare and have been decisive to later wars.
What three countries were on the axis side during World War 2?
Germany, Italy and Japan together made the "Dreimächtepakt" (the pact of three forces) at Sept. 27, 1940.
Later, more countries joined that pact:
Hungary (Nov. 20,1940),
Rumania (Nov. 23, 1940),
Slovakia (Nov. 24, 1940),
Bulgaria (March 1, 1941),
Yugoslavia (March 25, 1941) and
Croatia (June 15, 1941).
But it`s debatable today whether all of these countries really were part of the "axis" then, or if they joined the pact due to high pressure.
What are facts about the bombing of hiroshima?
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks near the end of World War II against the Empire of Japan by the United States at the executive order of U.S. President Harry S. Truman on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. After six months of intense fire-bombing of 67 other Japanese cities, followed by an ultimatum which was ignored by the Shōwa regime, the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on Monday,[1] August 6, 1945, [2] followed on August 9 by the detonation of the "Fat Man" nuclear bomb over Nagasaki. These are to date the only attacks with nuclear weapons in the history of warfare.[3] The bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945,[4] roughly half on the days of the bombings. Amongst these, 15 to 20% died from injuries or illness attributed to radiation poisoning[5]. Since then, more have died from leukemia (231 observed) and solid cancers (334 observed) attributed to exposure to radiation released by the bombs[6]. In both cities, the overwhelming majority of the dead were civilians.[7][8][9] Six days after the detonation over Nagasaki, on August 15, Japan announced its surrender to the Allied Powers, signing the Instrument of Surrender on September 2, officially ending the Pacific War and therefore World War II. (Germany had signed its unavoidable[2] Instrument of Surrender on May 7, ending the war in Europe.) The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding that nation from nuclear armament.[10]

If you are referring to the Axis Powers during World War II, the three major countries included Germany, Japan, and Italy. However, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and many other countries participated, too. The Axis Powers was a Military Alliance opposed to the Allies.
The simple answer would be both, but WWII was not simple at all. The Danish being of Skandinavic ethnicity and the Danish royal family being historically connected to most all the royal families in Europe did favor the Danish at the time as they were seen as "ethnically superior and of moral character". At this time the Danish had no army to talk of but a small resistance did sink their own vessels so they could not be used by the Germans. As for the Jews in Denmark, it is documented that many of them were pressured or made to leave Denmark. In some ways the Danish saw the actions of the Germans as a necessary evil to clean society and more importantly to finally unify Europe under one central government though they always opposed the German occupation of Denmark.
Who was on the side of the axis powers during World War 2?
Originally it was Germany, Japan, Russia and Italy. But, as Hitler got more and more aggressive towards Italy and attacked Russia it eventually came down to just Germany and Japan.
Why did the Axis lose the war?
They simply took on too much too fast at the same time. The German invasion of Poland in 1939 resulted in the British and French declarations of war. The invasion of the USSR opened a second front and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor drew the USA into the war, the combined industrial output and resources of the USA, USSR and the British Commonwealth was just too much for the Axis Powers to handle. Another noteworthy mention is that the Italians were more trouble than they were worth to the Axis, they needed constant help from the Germans and their defeats in North Africa took away crucial German troops away from the Eastern Front ( war with the USSR). "09!"
How Did They Fight During World War 2?
In WWII more advanced weaponry was used consisting of rockets, missiles, guerrillas, semi-automatic weapons, and most importantly, the end of the battleship. No matter how superb the firepower, the aircraft carrier along with its planes was beginning to take the place of superb battleships like the Bismark and Yamato, both of which were sunk in the war. It was the American naval carrier task force that won the war in the Pacific.
