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: -The Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki First, of course, was to bring the war with Japan to a speedy end and spare American lives. It has been suggested that the second objective was to demonstrate the new weapon of mass destruction to the Soviet Union.
Detailed explanation-3: -The uranium bomb detonated over Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 had an explosive yield equal to 15, 000 tonnes of TNT. It razed and burnt around 70 per cent of all buildings and caused an estimated 140, 000 deaths by the end of 1945, along with increased rates of cancer and chronic disease among the survivors.
Detailed explanation-4: -Summary of Possible Reasons: Simply using the bomb because it existed and to test its effects. Impressing the Soviet Union. A response to Pearl Harbor. Forcing Japan to surrender.
Detailed explanation-5: -The radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki today is on a par with the extremely low levels of background radiation (natural radioactivity) present anywhere on Earth. It has no effect on human bodies.
