84. You have a good point ...

Edited on Tue Jun-27-06 03:30 PM by Ian_rd

Little Boy was dropped August 6, 1945 on Hiroshima and Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki August 9th, three days later. But I don't know my history on this topic. True, they weren't dropped at the same time, but it was only three days in between.

Did the Japanese government know what happened at Hiroshima? Did they know it was a nuke? If they did, I wonder why they would have waited for another nuke to drop. Maybe they thought the U.S. had only one?

Edit: The Japanese surrendered on August 14, 1945.
