History, page 2

  • Little Boy was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.
  • Fat Man was dropped on the city of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.
  • Little boy killed about 140,000
  • Fat man killed about 100,000
  • Before the dropping of the bomb, war was very gruesome in Japan, POW were tortured and some were forced to kill their own men.
  • Japan refused the unconditional surrender, that the Allies offered.
  • Japan asked their civilians to fight till death.
  • An invasion of Japan would have caused more causalities than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
