80 Years Later, Abolish Nuclear treat! Stop the War Machine!
August 6, on this day in 1945, the United States dropped the very first deployed nuclear bomb in the city of Hiroshima, wiping out an estimated 39 per cent of the population, the two nuclear attacks killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people. most of whom were civilians. Radiation poisoning, what was referred to as "atomic bomb disease", left people with an increased risk of cancer, birth defects, severe mental retardation, among other diseases. Along with the atomic bombing of Nagasaki three days later, these instances remain the only recorded use of nuclear weapons in armed conflict. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki spurred a powerful global anti-nuclear movement, with survivors (hibakusha) playing a central role. These cities became symbols of the devastating consequences of nuclear weapons, and their survivors have become leading voices in the movement to abolish them.
