dropped in a war. Both these bombs were dropped by the US over Japan during the close of
World War II in August 1945.
The first bomb was dropped on
on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, This bomb was dropped by a B-29 bomber named
Enola Gay. The second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9,
1945. The bombs killed an estimated 110,000 people immediately. Many others died later,
and suffered severe medical complications. In response to dropping of these bombs, Japan
agreed to end the war on August 14, 1945, and formally surrendered on September 2,
1945.
