Hiroshima,city on southwestern Honsh Island,Japan,capital of Hiroshima Prefecture,is at the head of Hiroshima Bay,an arm of the Inland Sea.The city was founded in 1594 on six islands in the ta River Delta.The name Hiroshima means broadIsland.Hiroshima grew rapidly as a castle town and commercial city,and after 1868 it was developed as a militarycenter.On August6,1945,during World War II(1939-1945),the first atomic bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima,a military center,by the United States Army Air Forces.According to U.S.estimates,60,000 to 70,000 people were killed or missing as a result of the bomb and many more were made homeless.(In 1940,the population of Hiroshima was 343,698.)AtomicBombingoverHiroshima#Manymorelaterdiedofinjuriesandthe effects of

war,the city was largely rebuilt,and commercial activities were resumed.Machinery,automobiles,food processing,and brewing are the main industries.HiroshimaaftertheWar The Japanese dedicated post-war Hiroshima to peace.A destroyed area named“Peace City”has been set aside as a memorial.A peace park was build.A special hospital built here treats people suffering from exposure to radiation and conducts research into its effects.AtomicBombDomeThe AtomicBombDome is one of the few buildings around the explosions epicenter that partially survived the blast,and the citys only remaining bomb

NagasakiAug.14,1945:Japan announced its surrender 2.Is Hiroshima really the“liveliest”city in Japan?The word“liveliest”is put in quotation marks to show that this is what the city is said to be and the writer perhaps considers it ironic to use the word“liveliest”to describe a city that had been atomized.3.Complete the following flowchart(showing what places in Hiroshima the author went
