The target of the atomic bombing of Japanese cities by the United States.

During World War II, the US military opposed the Japanese military. The United States suffered heavy casualties as the Japanese fiercely resisted. The use of nuclear weapons should have demoralized both the army and the Japanese government. In general, the goal was achieved. Nuclear bombs caused unprecedented damage and the Japanese government was inclined to surrender.

As a result of the bombing, the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were practically wiped off the face of the earth, the number of victims was estimated at tens of thousands.
