The bombs immediately devastated their targets. Over the next two to four months, the acute effects of the atomic bombings killed 90,000–146,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000–80,000 people in Nagasaki; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day. Large numbers of people continued to die from the effects of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness and malnutrition, for many months afterward. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizable military garrison

2 - Number of atomic bombs dropped on Japan during World War II. 80,000 - People who died instantly in Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, when the first ever atomic bomb was used in war. The code name of the uranium-based bomb was "Little Bo. 192,020 - Total number of those killed in Hiroshima, combining those killed instantly and those killed from radiation and other aftermath. The revised total was released at a ceremony on the 50th anniversary of the bombing. 3 - Number of days between the first and second atomic bombs dropped on Japan. A man wheels his bicycle thorough Hiroshima in August 1945, days after the city was leveled by an atomic bomb blast. 130,000 - The number of people employed by the Manhattan Project.

By the time the United States conducted the first successful test (an atomic bomb was exploded in the desert in New Mexico in July 1945), Germany had already been defeated. The war against Japan in the Pacific, however, continued to rage. First, of course, was to bring the war with Japan to a speedy end and spare American lives. In this fashion, the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan can be seen as the first shot of the Cold War. If . officials truly believed that they could use their atomic monopoly for diplomatic advantage, they had little time to put their plan into action.

The atomic bomb is considered the most powerful mass destructive weapon since the 1940’s. The Creation of the bomb took approximately 63 years ago. (Rodreyer, Smith) The creation of the bomb was considered by many scientists during the 1930’s and 1940’s. Mainly because It was thought that another force would be creating a mass destructive device similar to what the scientists had in mind. An atomic bomb is a powerful explosive weapon that derives its force from the sudden release of energy in a nuclear reaction called fission, or splitting, of the nuclei of such heavy elements as plutonium and uranium. Rodreyer, Smith) The Manhattan project began with the idea brought up by foreign and other advanced physicists in 1938.

The dropping of the atomic bombs was motivated for a variety of reasons. One reason that was most evident was to end the conflict with the Japanese. The belief was that there was a need to stop the death of . soldiers engaged in battle with the Japanese and the dropping of the bomb was seen as a way to end the conflict, and the death of military personnel, in a quick manner. The atomic bombings led Japan to adopt the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles. Although it was never adopted into law it stated that Japan will never have nuclear weapons in their country. They came to this conclusion because of the devastation they seen caused by the bombs droped in their country at the end of WWII. pohnpei397 Certified Educator.
