In which Japanese cities did the United States drop atomic bombs in August 1945?
Correct Answer: Hiroshima and Nagasaki
In August 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima (6 August) and Nagasaki (9 August). These devastating attacks led directly to Japan's surrender on 15 August 1945, bringing the Second World War to an end.
The bombings killed an estimated 200,000 people, many of them civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare. The end of the war is commemorated as VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day).
