Hiroshima is best known for being the first city targeted by an atomic bombing during World War 2. On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, killing an estimated 80,000 people instantly. Many more died later from radiation exposure. This bombing, along with the Nagasaki bombing a few days later, led to Japan's surrender and the end of World War 2.

Today, Hiroshima's history is commemorated at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum. The park includes memorials and monuments such as the Atom Bomb Dome, the only building left standing near the bomb's hypocenter, and the Cenotaph holding the names of all the known victims. The Peace Memorial Museum documents the history of Hiroshima and the events of the atomic bombing, with many artifacts and personal belongings of victims on display. Visiting these sites is a sobering but moving way to learn about and remember the immense suffering caused by the atomic bombing, as well as Hiroshima's message of promoting peace and nuclear disarmament.
