Atomic Bombing

The atomic bombing refers to the use of powerful nuclear weapons that release enormous energy through nuclear reactions. These bombs work by splitting atoms (fission) or combining them (fusion), resulting in an immense explosion, intense heat, and radiation. Historically, they were first used during World War II in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, causing massive destruction and loss of life. The bomb’s destructive power is vastly greater than conventional explosives, and its effects include immediate blast damage, fires, radiation sickness, and long-term environmental impact. Atomic bombing revolutionized warfare but also highlighted the devastating potential of nuclear technology.
