Hiroshima+and+Nagasaki

On August 8, 1940 the U.S. dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima and two days later on August 10, the U.S. dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki. The bombing of the Japanese cities led to their unconditional surrender five days later on August 25, 1945. Years later, people were suffering the consequences of the bombing due to nuclear radiation. The bombings set up the U.S. as the first nuclear superpower.
