Answer 1

August 6, 1945; Hiroshima

Explanation:

The first atomic bomb, named "Little Boy," was dropped by the United States on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945. This devastating attack aimed to force Japan's surrender in World War II. Three days later, on August 9, 1945, a second atomic bomb, "Fat Man," was dropped on Nagasaki. These bombings marked the first and only use of nuclear weapons in war, leading to Japan's surrender and the end of World War II.
