Hiroshima
Hiroshima was founded in 1589, on the
coast of the Seto Island Sea, and became
a major urban center during the Meiji
Periode. The city is located on the broad,
flat delta of the Ota River, which has 7
channel outlets dividing the city into six
islands which project into Hiroshima Bay.
The city is almost entirely flat and only
slightly above sea level; to the northwest
and northeast of the city, some hills rise to
700 feet.

Hiroshima
Hiroshima was founded by Mori Motonari
as his capital. About a half century later,
after the Battle of Sekigahara, his grandson
and the leader of the West Army Mori
Terumoto was on the losing side. The
winner Tokugawa Ieyasu deprived Mori
Terumoto of most of his fiefs including
Hiroshima and gave Aki province to
another daimyo who had supported him.

• Finally Asano was appointed the daimyo of
this area and Hiroshima served as the
capital of Hiroshima han during the Edo
period. After the han was abolished the
city became the capital of Hiroshima
prefecture.
• During the First Sino-Japanese War,
Hiroshima emerged as a major supply and
logistics base for the Japanese military.
This role continued until World War II.

Main article: Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki
•
On August 6, 1945 the nuclear weapon Little Boy was
dropped on Hiroshima by Enola Gay, a U.S. Air Force B-29
bomber which was altered specifically to hold the bomb,
killing an estimated 200,000 people and heavily damaging
80% of the city.[citation needed] In the following months, an
estimated 60,000 more people died from injuries or radiation
poisoning.[citation needed] Since 1945, several thousand
more hibakusha have died of illnesses caused by the bomb.
It was the second such device to be detonated (the first being
the successful test at the Manhattan Project's desert test site,
in New Mexico), and the first ever to be used in military
action. The American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki were major factors that led to the Japanese
surrender, and the official end of World War II.

Hiroshima
After the nuclear attack, Hiroshima was rebuilt as
a “peace memorial city”, and the closest
surviving building to the location of the bomb's
detonation was designated the "Atomic Bomb
Dome," a part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial
Park. The city government continues to
advocate the abolition of nuclear weapon. and
has advocated more broadly for world peace.
They have written a letter of protest every time a
nuclear weapon has been detonated anywhere
in the world since 1968.
