The dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki had some positive outcomes. Firstly, it ended World War II which resulted in a great reduction in the number of civilian casualties that would have occurred if the war continued. Secondly, it served as a reminder to nations around the world about the devastating effects of nuclear weapons and potentially prevented similar atrocities from being committed in future. Additionally, it motivated leaders throughout history to work towards achieving lasting peace instead of engaging in armed conflict as they knew such actions had unbearable consequences. As former Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon noted after visiting both cities “Hiroshima and Nagasaki have come to symbolize not only what should be avoided - destruction beyond measure; but also what can be achieved - when nations work together to meet shared goals”.

The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki resulted in Japan's surrender and official cessation of hostilities on August 15, 1945. As a result, World War II ended, and the country was spared from immeasurable destruction that would have occurred if a prolonged invasion had taken place. Additionally, these two atomic bombs contributed to setting off the nuclear weapons development race which spurred research into clean sources of nuclear energy.
