There we a number of major events that occurred during World War II. The photograph above was the mushroom cloud above Hiroshima, Japan from the atomic bomb. On August 6, 1945 the United States dropped an atomic bomb, by the name of ‘Little Boy’ on Hiroshima, Japan. The bomb itself weighed a whopping 10,000 pounds and was over 10 feet long.
