On this day in 1945, the U.S. committed the worst war crime in history when it dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, becoming the first and only country to use nuclear weapons in armed conflict. � https:///lTVt2sm3yT



The nuclear bomb, called “little man,” was both the first shot of the Cold War and kick-started the nuclear arms race. It killed at least 75,000 people instantly or within a few hours.



The attack was launched by Democratic President Harry Truman. Three days later, Truman ordered the second nuclear bomb to be dropped, this one called “Fat Man,” on Nagasaki.

By 1950, over 200,000 people were dead in both cities due to the attacks.



In Hiroshima, the bomb caused death and destruction over an area of 13 square kilometers. Ground temperatures rose to 4,000 degrees Celsius and radioactive rain poured down. Thousands of victims suffered permanent disability and diseases like cancer and leukemia.





90% of doctors and nurses were killed and 45 hospitals were destroyed, wiping out the city’s capacity to help the victims.

The exact death toll will never be known and thousands are still dying today from the delayed effects of radiation exposure.





Many of the scientists that helped the U.S .develop its nuclear program believed it would be used against Hitler. In the end, the first nukes were used three months after the Red Army defeated Nazi Germany in Berlin, against Japan.



By then it was clear Japan would surrender, and an array of U.S. military and political officials said there was no military necessity for the attack.



The world had just seen off Hitler and his designs to control Europe, but with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the U.S. announced its intent to control the world and crush its adversaries, particularly the USSR.
