Nagasaki

With 459,000 people Nagasaki has made a great recovery from the wreckage of an atomic bomb dropped by American forces in WWII that ended the war. It has 3 main universities and many beautiful parks. Nagasaki was the city where Chinese and Dutch traders did their business between the 17th and 19th centuries during Japan's period of cultural isolation. So now the city is considered exotic because of its foreign influences.

    Craig Beall (guest), the same amount of people would have died had the war dragged on any longer. At the time, most respectful Japanese people would have gladly kept fighting if all they had left was a knife. Kamikaze fighters were not some curious isolated fluke.

    Nonsense! Both Uranium & Plutonium were used in the Fat Man implosion type fission bomb. Both metals used were the highly radioactive isotopes. This type of bomb would not work at all if there was no Uranium used. You should have paid more attention to high school physics and chemistry class.

    The irony is, that they were actually aiming for mitsubishi shipyards - which suffered little damage. USA.the only country to miss using an atomic bomb
