 The United State's decision to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was unjustified. Yes, even though bombing Nagasaki ended World War II, Japan could have launched an attack in order to revenge their dead men. The bomb that hit Hiroshima was nicknamed "Little Boy" because of its small shape, opposed what hit Nagasaki.
In the beginning, the United States wasn't intentionally aiming for Nagasaki. They were aiming for Kokura.  Because of this mistake 35,000 deaths, 60,000 wounded and 5,000 missing. This bomb was known as "Fat Man" do to its thick texture and oval shape.
