The United States Army Air Forces dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan on the mornings of August 6 and August 9, 1945 during World War II.
The goal was to secure the unconditional surrender of Japan. At least 120,000 people died immediately from the two attacks combined, and perhaps more than 200,000 by the end of the year, from the effects of nuclear radiation. More than 90% of the casualties were civilians.
Japan sent notice of its unconditional surrender to the Allies on August 15, a week after the bombings. These bombings were the first and only nuclear attacks in world history.
lol
