Hiroshima is the result of research on the destruction of human civilization

At the end of the Second World War, Britain and the United States prepared to attack Japan. After destroying 64 Japanese cities, the Allied Powers ordered the Japanese army to surrender. The Suzuki government of Japan disobeyed that order. The preparations for the extreme attack began. The United States began its infamous project known as the Manhattan Project. Nuclear weapons research began that day to declare war on human civilization.
Atomic physicist Robert Oppenheimer was director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the actual bomb. The Army component of the project was designated the Manhattan District because its first headquarters were in Manhattan; The place name gradually superseded the official codename for the entire project, Development of Substitute Materials. The Manhattan Project began in 1939, employed more than 130,000 people and cost approximately US$2 billion.
The United States chose two cities in Japan, one Hiroshima and the other Nagasaki, to implement the project of human destruction. At the time of the bombing, Hiroshima was a city of industrial and military importance. A number of military units were located nearby, the most important of which was the headquarters of Field Marshal Shunroku Hata's Second General Army, which led the defense of all of southern Japan. Hiroshima was a supply and supply base for the Japanese military. The city was a communications center, a major port for shipping and an assembly point for troops.
Hiroshima was the primary target of the first atomic bomb mission on August 6, with Kokura and Nagasaki as alternate targets. The 393d Bombardment Squadron B-29 Enola Gay, named after Tibbetts' mother and piloted by Tibbetts, took off from North Field, Tinian, about a six-hour flight time from Japan. Enola Gay was accompanied by two other B-29s: The Great Artist, piloted by Major Charles Sweeney, which carried the instruments, and a then-unnamed aircraft later called Necessary Evil, piloted by Captain George Marquardt. Necessary evil photography was aircraft.
People on the ground reported a pika a bright flash of light—followed by a don । loud roaring sound. About 70,000–80,000 people died, about 30 percent of Hiroshima's population, were injured in the explosion and resulting firestorm, with another 70,000 injured. It is estimated that around 20,000 Japanese military personnel were killed. US surveys estimated that an area of 12 km2 (4.7 sq mi) was destroyed. Japanese officials determined that 69 percent of Hiroshima's buildings were destroyed and another 6 to 7 percent were damaged.
Due to the danger of earthquakes in Japan, some of the reinforced concrete buildings in Hiroshima were built very strongly, and despite being fairly close to the epicenter, their structures did not collapse. As the bomb detonated in the air, the blast was directed downward rather than sideways, which was largely responsible for the survival of the Prefectural Industrial Promotional Hall, now commonly known as the Genbaku (A-bomb) dome, which was only 150 meters (490 ft) above the ground. from zero (hypocenter). The ruins were named the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Today, Hiroshima Day is observed in many countries of the world to take the pledge of world peace. The pledge to protect human civilization against the monsters of war is August 6.
