Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan

On August 6, 1945, the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The explosion immediately killed at least 70,000 people.

This did not seem enough to the leadership of the United States of America, so on August 9, 1945, an atomic bomb was also dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki. The explosion immediately killed at least 10,000 people.

As a result of the two explosions, by the end of 1945, the total death toll, including those who died from cancer or radiation sickness, was at least 150,000 people (most of them civilians).

The photos below show the results of the work of the bright minds of mankind and the dirty hands that guide them:
