Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, were hit by atomic bombs by the U.S. and while nuclear bombs and atomic bombs have differences, and there are far more people in the world today, the fallout and deaths associated with the dropping of atomic bombs, work as a cautionary tale of the devastation the world would be looking at.
