intro I have decided to do my project on Hiroshima. I chose to do it because I find it very interesting. I am going to look at the background behind it, what actually happened, what happened after it and the conclusion. This is so I can explain why I think it was the main turning point of WW2. It was the first atomic bombing ever dropped on anywhere.. The American Air Force dropped the bomb on Hiroshima in Japan. 

background

The atomic bombing on Hiroshima was an attempt to stop World War 2 and revenge on Japan because they had bombed pearl harbour. The Americans asked the Japanese if they would surrender on unconditional surrender. But the Japanese refused. The Americans dropped the bomb because at the time it was believed that it was the only way to make Japan surrender. Before the actual bombing they had a trial test. This was set up in Socorro ,New Mexico.
