The History of Hiroshima Day

August 6th marks the anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan during World War II. The bomb, nicknamed “Little Boy”, was dropped by the United States in an effort to end the war. Little Boy killed an estimated 140,000 people and injured another 100,000.

In total, there were two atomic bombs dropped during WWII. The first bomb, “Fat Man”, was dropped on Nagasaki three days after Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima. Fat Man killed an estimated 74,000 people.

The dropping of the atomic bombs led to Japan’s surrender and the end of WWII. August 6th was chosen as Hiroshima Day to commemorate the innocent lives lost in the bombing.

Why We Remember Hiroshima Day

We remember Hiroshima Day because it is a reminder of the devastation that can be caused by nuclear weapons. On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The bomb killed more than 140,000 people, most of them civilians. This event showed the world the destructive power of nuclear weapons and led to calls for their abolition.

Hiroshima Day also serves as a reminder of the need for international cooperation to prevent nuclear proliferation. The proliferation of nuclear weapons increases the risk of their being used again, either by accident or by design. The threat of nuclear war hangs over us all and we must work together to eliminate this danger.

So let us remember Hiroshima Day, not only as a day of mourning for the victims of that terrible event, but also as a day of resolve to work for a world free of nuclear weapons.
