Little Boy

"Little Boy" is the codename for the atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, during World War II. This bomb was the first nuclear weapon used in warfare and was dropped by the United States in an effort to bring an end to the war with Japan. The explosion resulted in immense destruction and loss of life, killing an estimated 140,000 people by the end of 1945 and leaving many more with long-term health issues related to radiation exposure. The bomb was a uranium-based weapon, and its successful deployment marked a significant moment in military history, leading to subsequent nuclear arms development and a complicated legacy surrounding nuclear weapons and warfare.
