of Hiroshima near the end of WW11 against the Empire of Japan by the
United States at the executive order of the U.S. President Harry S.

Nagasaki, roughly half on the days of the bombing, since then thousands
more have died from injuries or illness related to radiation exposure released
by the bombs. |
