Hiroshima
Hiroshima, city on southwestern Honshû Island, Japan, capital of Hiroshima Prefecture, is at the head of Hiroshima Bay, an arm of the Inland Sea. The city was founded in 1594 on six islands in the Ôta River Delta. The name Hiroshima means broad Island. Hiroshima grew rapidly as a castle town and commercial city, and after 1868 it was developed as a military center.

Atomic Bombing over Hiroshima
On August 6, 1945, during World War II (1939-1945), the first atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, a military center, by the U来自百度文库ited States Army Air Forces. According to U.S. estimates, 60,000 to 70,000 people were killed or missing as a result of the bomb and many more were made homeless. (In 1940, the population of Hiroshima was 343,698.)
Many more later died of injuries and the effects of radiation. Casualties numbered nearly 130,000. Survivors are still dying of leukemia, pernicious anemia and other diseases induced by radiation.
