The solution was a swift devastation that would either make the Japanese military surrender or cause the people to give up hope and support for their leaders selfish and psychopathic crusade. On august 4th 1945 the Little Boy, the first atomic bomb used in warfare, was dropped released above Hiroshima on an otherwise peaceful summer morning.
