Hirosima

Hiroshima is a city in Japan that became widely known due to the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945, during World War II. The United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city, causing immense destruction and loss of life. This event marked the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare and led to significant human suffering, long-term health effects, and environmental damage. Hiroshima has since rebuilt and became a symbol of peace and anti-nuclear sentiment, hosting memorials like the Peace Memorial Park to remember those affected and advocate for global disarmament.
