About the Anniversary of the Bombing of Hiroshima in Japan
China Japan & Korea
Ends: Aug 06, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
August 6, 1945, is the day of the Hiroshima bombing.
As the Japanese military lost battles in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, soldiers perished in great numbers. Replenishing the ranks required drafting new men, leaving women, children, and elderly men at home. These people populated most of Japan's cities in August 1945.
Hiroshima was home to several military facilities, military personnel, and foreign prisoners of war, all of which were in the city during the bombing. Foreigners, including workers, prisoners, and business people, pushed the total population to over 350,000 that day.
At 8:15 A.M. on August 6, 1945, "Little Boy," the code name of the thin atom bomb, fell on the city. Up to 146,000 people would eventually lose their lives, half the day of the bombing. The world had never witnessed a bomb of this power, and Hiroshima is one of only two times a nuclear weapon has been used in war. The second would be three days later.
