Answer 1

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Aug 6, 1945, & Aug 9, 1945.

The atomic bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the U.S -

On 6th August 1945, the United States of America dropped its first atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan.
Three days later, on August 9, 1945, the U.S. dropped the next atomic bomb on Japan's Nagasaki. Hence option 1 is correct.
The first atomic bomb was nicknamed 'Little Boy' and the second atomic bomb was nicknamed 'Fat Man'.
The United States became the first and only nation to use atomic weapons in a war.
Their use of the bomb led to the end of World War II and significantly started the Cold War and the Arms Race.
