On August 6, 1945, the United States of America made the most famous mistake in war history. On this horrible and unforgiving day, American pilot Paul Tibbets dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. This bomb was the first of two unethical, destructive atomic bombs dropped on Japan during its war with America. The first bomb was nicknamed "Little Boy" by Americans and was made up of uranium. This deathly bomb affected many innocent lives that could never be restored. The "Little Boy" instantly claimed many Japanese citizens' lives on that awful August morning.
