		The Hiroshima bomb was ready awaiting suitable weather on July 31st, and the Nagasaki bomb was used as soon after the Hiroshima bomb as it was practicable to operate the second mission.
		Since the atomic bomb was expected to produce its greatest amount of damage by primary blast effect, and next greatest by fires, the targets should contain a large percentage of closely-built frame buildings and other construction that would be most susceptible to damage by blast and fire.
		Nagasaki had been permitted to grow for many years without conforming to any definite city zoning plan and therefore residences were constructed adjacent to factory buildings and to each other almost as close as it was possible to build them throughout the entire industrial valley.

		Hiroshima was the primary target of the first atomic bomb mission.
		Nagasaki had never been subjected to large scale bombing prior to the explosion of the atomic bomb there.
		While the damage from these few bombs were relatively small, it created considerable concern in Nagasaki and a number of people, principally school children, were evacuated to rural areas for safety, thus reducing the population in the city at the time of the atomic attack.

	NSDL Metadata Record -- Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
		This article examines the events that led up to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and concludes that the declaration of war by the Soviet Union against Japan and the revision of the terms of Japanese surrender by the Americans were far more important factors than the atomic bombings in ending World War II.
		The author describes the discussion within the U.S. government on how the atomic bombs should be used, and explains how Japan became a target for the atomic bombs built by scientists who had originally envisioned deterrence against Germany.
		He then looks at the Japanese government?s reaction to the bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki and to the entrance of the Soviet Union into the war and evaluates the role of those events in influencing the decision to surrender.

		The usage of atomic bombs is not a terrible thing in itself at my opinion, not at least if compared with the relatively recent genocides of Rwanda and former Yugoslavia.
		The atomic bomb which was dropped in Hiroshima had "only" the explosive power of about 20 kilotons, which is not much when compared with the modern intercontinental missiles which are able to carry payloads of hundreds of kilotons.
		One thing that also strongly speaks against the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is the claim that Japan had already unofficially surrendered before the bombing, and USA just wanted to test the efficiency of their newly developed toy, the atomic bomb.

	America's Reaction to the Atomic Bomb
		The atomic bomb was his lifesaver and although he does not say it directly, it is clear that he believes it is far better for the Japanese to have died than any American.
		Yet, it is clear that while the Japanese citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were desperately trying to stay alive and hold on to their humanity, the people of the United States were surprisingly apathetic to the plight of the Japanese while concentrating intensely on the power of the atomic bomb.
		The atomic bomb had, in the mind of the average American, won the war with Japan and was the reason their boys were finally coming home.

	Total Casualties \| The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki \| Historical Documents \| atomicarchive.com
		There has been great difficulty in estimating the total casualties in the Japanese cities as a result of the atomic bombing.
		The relation of total casualties to distance from X, the center of damage and point directly under the air-burst explosion of the bomb, is of great importance in evaluating the casualty-producing effect of the bombs.
		It seems almost certain from the various reports that the greatest total number of deaths were those occurring immediately after the bombing.
