The most brutal battle in history came to an end in August 1945. The United States decided to drop a nuclear bomb on Japan, targeting Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The nuclear incident on the Korean Peninsula has not only caused great damage to people's lives and economy, but has also had a far-reaching impact on the entire world.

The atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki** were named "Little Boy" and "Fat Man". These two names, as they sound today, are quite ironic. At that time, scientists in the United States deliberately used this seemingly harmless name to cover up the cruel nature of nuclear **. But it is such a group of "little boys" and "fat people" who destroyed two cities and took the lives of many people in a few breaths.

On August 6, 1945, a "Little Boy" bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The moment the nuclear bomb was detonated, it exploded with a huge amount of energy comparable to 15,000 tons of TNT. In this **, around 1Houses at a range of 6 km were damaged, 140000 people were killed. Those who survived were plagued by radiation sickness, and many died within a few years.

Just three days later, on August 9, a "Fat Man" bomb was detonated in the Japanese city of Nagasaki. The ** strength of this nuclear bomb is much higher, about 22,000 tons of TNT. 90% of houses collapsed in Nagasaki City, and more than 80,000 people died. Survivors in Nagasaki, like Hiroshima, are suffering from radioactive damage for a long time.

The two atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a great disaster for Japan and mankind as a whole, and they were also a great stain on human civilization. The destruction of the two cities has made the world see the terrifying power of nuclear bombs, and it has also set off a wave of peace and anti-war in the international community. At the outbreak of World War II, Japan had to declare its national sovereignty in World War II.

However, the atomic bombs** did not completely stop in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Radiation contamination, disease, psychological trauma, have been tormenting survivors and their children. To this day, both cities are still suffering from the effects of a nuclear attack. Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan hold a series of commemorative ceremonies on August 6 and August 9 every year to remember the victims of the atomic bombs** and pray for global peace.

The two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan** caused great damage around the world. The experiences of these two cities teach us to cherish peace and to be vigilant against the dangers of nuclear bombs. As the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki advocated, "Nuclear weapons should never be used, otherwise it will cause permanent suffering and disaster to mankind." ”

Let us remember the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs** and the bitter lessons of these two names, and remind future generations to cherish peace and avoid war.
