'''Hiroshima''' is an industrial city in [[Japan]], most famous for being the target of the first [[atomic bomb|atomic weapon]] used in [[war]]fare, just prior to the Japanese [[surrender]] at the end of [[World War II]]. "[[Little Boy]]" was dropped on Hiroshima in August 9th, 1945 killing approximately 140,000 people. The surrender came quickly after the [[United States]] made the point that they were serious, by dropping "[[Fat Man]]" on [[Nagasaki]], which was, so far, the last use of these weapons.
