Not as many as would have died if the war had dragged on !Www@QuestionHome@Com

By the end of 1945 the estimated number of people who died as a direct result of the bomb was 140,000!.

For the period 1946 to 1951 the number of deaths due to the bomb was estimated at 60,000!.

As the number of deaths among survivors, in the first ten years of the survey, showed little difference from the population as a whole it has been concluded that the number of people who died as a direct result of the bomb was approximately 200,000!.

Within 1/16 mile radius from the explosion center, most people died within a few hours (even in the case where they were not directly exposed to the heat or wind)!. Within a half mile radius, most people died within 30 days after the explosion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

there were 137,000 casualties out of a total population of 343,000 - 78,150 were found dead, others died laterWww@QuestionHome@Com

Impossible to tell - as the effects are still causing death by cancer today (probably!)

By the end of the year it was dropped, there'd been 90,000-140,000 casualties attributed to it, since then there's probably more!.

There was also nagasaki too, which killed up to 80,000Www@QuestionHome@Com

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks during World War II against the Empire of Japan by the United States at the order of U!.S!. President Harry S!. Truman!. After six months of intense firebombing of 67 other Japanese cities, the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on Monday[1], August 6, 1945, followed on August 9 by the detonation of the "Fat Man" nuclear bomb over Nagasaki!. These are to date the only attacks with nuclear weapons in the history of warfare!.

The bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945,[2] roughly half on the days of the bombings!. Since then, thousands more have died from injuries or illness attributed to exposure to radiation released by the bombs!.[1] In both cities, the overwhelming majority of the dead were civilians!.

Six days after the detonation over Nagasaki, on August 15, Japan announced its surrender to the Allied Powers, signing the Instrument of Surrender on September 2, officially ending the Pacific War and therefore World War II!. (Germany had signed its Instrument of Surrender on May 7, ending the war in Europe!.) The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding that nation from nuclear armament!.[3]Www@QuestionHome@Com
