As information, the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, during World War II. The attack resulted in the complete devastation of Hiroshima, causing massive destruction and loss of life. It is estimated that around 140,000 people died as a direct result of the explosion and its immediate aftermath, including the effects of radiation sickness.
The bombing of Hiroshima played a significant role in Japan's decision to surrender, ultimately leading to the end of World War II.
