Detailed explanation-1: -The two bombings killed between 129, 000 and 226, 000 people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict. Japan surrendered to the Allies on 15 August, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union’s declaration of war against Japan.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, it’s estimated roughly 70, 000 to 135, 000 people died in Hiroshima and 60, 000 to 80, 000 people died in Nagasaki, both from acute exposure to the blasts and from long-term side effects of radiation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main argument in support of the decision to use the atomic bomb is that it saved American lives which would otherwise have been lost in two D-Day-style land invasions of the main islands of the Japanese homeland. The first, against the Southern island of Kyushu, had been scheduled for November 1 (Operation Torch).
Detailed explanation-4: -The Manhattan Project produced two different types of atomic bombs, code-named Fat Man and Little Boy. Fat Man, which was dropped on Nagasaki, was the more complex of the two.
