On August 9, 1945, in [[World War II]], an [[atomic bomb]] called [[Fat man]] was dropped on Nagasaki by the [[United States]], destroying large parts of the city. This decision to use the weapon has been criticised, perhaps more so than the bombing of Hiroshima. A common allegation is that the second bomb was dropped only to test the effectivness of the weapon, as it was a different type to the bomb that was used against Hiroshima.
