Well, I'm not sure how long ago you asked this question, and therefore how relevant this information will be, but after the Hiroshima bombing, Japan was (understandably) in chaos. The atomic bomb had killed over tens of thousands of civilians and many more died afterwards from the shock. (Meaning the medical term, not the emotion. :P) Also, food supplies and shelter were extremely scarce. People were dying of malnutrition and exposure. While Japan was still reeling, the United States struck again, hitting Nagasaki. (And totally without mercy, might I add.)
Hope this helps. A really cool book that you might like to read is called "Night Singing" by Kieran Meehan. It has a lovely ending.
its population is decimated, there civilians are in a state of fear, they really just lost thousands of civs. one of there largest citys is no a crator in the floor, there doom. when we drop the 2nd its to much, they think were gonna move down the citys till Tokyo and wipe them out
Leukemia, Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma, Nervous system tumors and their response relation were observed for all solid nodules, adenoma, and nodules without histological diagnosis, autoimmune hypothyroidism, stomach tumors and breast diseases. The population has a long follow-up (50 years) and includes both sexes and all ages of exposure, allowing a direct compilation of risks by these factors. the population has a long follow-up (50 years) and includes both sexes and all ages of exposure, allowing a direct compilation of risks by these factors. Because of the use of Japanese family registration system, mortality data are virtually complete for survivors who remained in Japan.
The result in the coral reefs in the Bimini Island who were demolished by nuclear blast came alive again after 50 years.
Chaotic conditions made accurate accounts most difficult. Some victims were vaporized instantly, many survivors were horribly disfigured, and death from radiation was uncertain-it might not claim its victims for days, weeks, months, or even years.
The initial death count in Hiroshima, set at 42,000-93,000, was based solely on the disposal of bodies, and was thus much too low. Later surveys covered body counts, missing persons, and neighborhood surveys during the first months after the bombing, yielding a more reliable estimate of 130,000 dead as of November 1945. A similar survey by officials in Nagasaki set its death toll at 60,000-70,000. (Its plutonium bomb was more powerful, but its destructive range was limited by surrounding hills and mountains).
Additional counts indicated high levels of short-term mortality in both cities:
-Over 90% of persons within 500 meters (1,600 ft.) of ground zero in both cities died.
-At 1.5 km (almost one mile), over 2/3 were casualties, and 1/3 died.
-Of those at a distance of 2 km (1.2 mi.), half were casualties, 10% of whom died.
-Casualties dropped to 10% at distances over 4 km (2.4 mi.)

Japan was totally devastated and after the bombs, everything every thing became worse. Japan could not feed the people less rebuild the Nation.
Why would Japan bomb two of their own cities. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, and the U.S. bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Yes. The Atomic bombing of Nagasaki, after Hiroshima, is the final act of WW2
Kyoto is just next to Osaka. Hiroshima is the largest island in Japan. It is in Kanto region ,under Shimane (if you know this place.) Nagasaki is in Kyushu. It is the feet of Japan. A little close to Okinawa.
hiroshima and nagasaki in japan
No, Japan didn't immediately refuse after the bombing of Hiroshima. After the bombing, Emperor Hirohito (the Japanese leader during the Second World War) went into consultation with the Imperial War Council (of Japan) where they were deciding whether or not to surrender. However, three days after the bombing of Hiroshima, America bombed Japan again, this time in Nagasaki. Roughly a week after the Nagasaki bombing, Emperor Hirohito on 15 August 1945 announced surrender via radio broadcast. He officially surrendered in written agreement later that year on 2 September 1945.
The US and Japan .
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were two in Japan.
firstly hiroshima, then nagasaki
unconditional surrender.
Hiroshima: August 6, 1945 Nagasaki: 2 days after. August 9, 1945.
Why would Japan bomb two of their own cities. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, and the U.S. bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
it ended the war. Japan surrendered without conditions.
Yes. The Atomic bombing of Nagasaki, after Hiroshima, is the final act of WW2
They are both cities of Japan.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan
Germany surrender but Japan did not. After the two bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan surrendered.
Kyoto is just next to Osaka. Hiroshima is the largest island in Japan. It is in Kanto region ,under Shimane (if you know this place.) Nagasaki is in Kyushu. It is the feet of Japan. A little close to Okinawa.
