Nagasaki and Hiroshima ... do these cities sound familiar? This was the U.S. dropping nuclear bombs on Japan ... and the U.S. has the nerve to worry about other countries having the weapons of mass destruction!

President Harry Truman, advised by the U.S. military, decided to use the new super-weapon to bring the war to a swifter end. The battle for Okinawa had shown that an invasion of the Japanese mainland (planned for November), seen as an Okinawa-type operation on a far larger scale, would result in more casualties than the United States had suffered so far in all theatres since the war began. It would also result in many more Japanese deaths than use of the atomic bomb would cause.
On August 6, 1945, the B-29 Superfortress "Enola Gay", piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets, dropped a nuclear weapon named "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, destroying the city. After the destruction of Hiroshima, the United States again called upon Japan to surrender. No response was made, and accordingly on August 9, the B-29 "BOCKS CAR", piloted by Major Charles Sweeney, dropped a second atomic bomb named "Fat Man" on Nagasaki.

If there were a nuclear war, the u.s. would be easily eliminated. it takes only a few fusion bombs and a lot of pissed off dark haired dark eye'd people to want it to happen, if u.s. feels fighting a war with the world over and over will gain them respect. the world might have mostly christians, but the worlds races are dark haired dark eyed five billion against 1 billion arians with blonde hair and fair eyes. korea could easily defeat u.n. alone with only a few fusion missiles. all this talk about number of missiles is ignorant. just a few would easily demolish america, but why would united states provoke that end? i think u.s. should develop an economic way out and get their business out of the world.

Is this a trick question?
1945. United States of America. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Fat Man and Little Boy.

Same country who was attacked in an undeclared war in a place called Pearl Harbor.
7 December, 1941.
Remember THAT, too.

Unfortunately, it was America. World War II, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Okay, we're guilty. But now we all have Sony Playstations and drive Toyotas. Seems like things worked out pretty well if you ask me...

None that I know of. Don't you mean atomic bomb in 1945? If that is it, shame on you, you should know what answer is.
