World War II Nukes

The first nuke was created by the U.S. during WWII to be used against the Axis Powers. The fist time an atomic bomb was used was when we hit Hiroshima, Japan after they refused to surrender. The nuke that was used was nick-named "Fat Man".

Another popularized nuke was "Little Boy". He was used after another failed surrender attempt. But this time they dropped the nuke on Nagasaki. Shortly after the second bombing Japan issued a surrender and WWII officially came to an end.
