The atomic bomb was bomb that uses its power from the release of nuclear energy by fission of heavy atomic bonds, causing damage through heat, blast, and radioactivity.
How it all went down
The two uranium-based designs for the atomic bomb was called “the Little Boy” and “the Fat Man. The war in Europe had ended in that April, fighting in the Pacific continued with Japanese forces vs. U.S. troops. On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped its first atomic bomb from the plane called the Enola Gay on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The “Little Boy” exploded with 13 kilotons of power, flattening five miles of the city and killing 80,000 people instantly. Tens of thousands more would later die from radiation that would cause cancer.
