More than 70 years ago, the United States of America dropped the first atomic bomb. On August 6, 1945, USA dropped a bomb on Hiroshima. Three days later, they bombed another Japanese town, Nagasaki.
Those two are the only atomic bombs every used. Countries have long protested the use of nuclear and atomic weapon. Decades later, controversy still surrounds the nuclear weapon.
