Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The atomic and hydrogen bombs of the USA were tested in many places. They were rather crude tests, but, the military realized it was a doom's day weapon.

When the USA unleashed this evil weapon it was the first time the world had ever witnessed the ability of one country to destroy that of another. It was the bombing of Japan that ended World War II. The Japanese were vicious fighters and they proved it that day in Pearl Harbor with a concept called a Kamikaze pilot. Today we would call them suicide bombers.

The U.S. looked to a new weapon to put an end to WWII. (click here)

On August 6, 1945 the US dropped an atomic bomb ("Little Boy") on Hiroshima in Japan. Three days later a second atomic bomb ("Fat Man") was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. These were the only times nuclear weapons have been used in war. Reasons for the bombing.
