The Bombing of Hiroshima was one of the most devastating bombs ever made. The first of its kind, these Atomic Bombs that were dropped on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both unethical and inhumane. At the end of the day it effectively ended the war between the USA and Japan. The Japanese surrender meant the end to World War II as Germany had already fell months before.
