The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks ordered by Harry S. Truman, president of the United States, against the Empire of Japan. The attacks were carried out on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively, which contributed, together with the Soviet-Japanese War, to the surrender of Japan and the end of World War II.

After six months of intense bombing of 67 other cities, the Little Boy nuclear weapon was released on Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed by the detonation of the Fat Man bomb on Thursday, August 9 over Nagasaki. Between 130,000 and 140,000 people were killed and 130,000 wounded.To date, these bombings are the only nuclear attacks in history.
