Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Causes, Impact & Deaths

On August 6, 1945, the United States became the first and only
nation to use atomic weaponry during wartime when it
dropped
an atomic bomb
on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

Approximately 80,000 people are killed as a direct result of the
blast, and another 35,000 are injured. At least another 60,000
would be dead by the end of the year from the effects of the
fallout.

Though the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan marked the
end of
World War II, many historians argue that it also ignited
the Cold War
.
