These 5 Finnish newspapers contain headline coverage of the ATOMIC BOMBINGS of HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI, Japan near the end of WW II.

The atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were conducted by the United States during the final stages of World War II in August 1945. The two bombings were the first and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare.

As the Second World War entered its sixth and final year, the Allies had begun to prepare for, what was anticipated to be, a very costly invasion of the Japanese mainland. This was preceded by an immensely destructive firebombing campaign that obliterated many Japanese cities. The war in Europe had concluded when Nazi Germany signed its instrument of surrender on May8, 1945, but with the Japanese refusal to accept the Allies\' demands for unconditional surrender, the Pacific War dragged on. Together with the United Kingdom and China, the United State\'s calls for the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July26, 1945 was buttressed with the threat of \"prompt and utter destruction\".

By August 1945, the Allied Manhattan Project had successfully detonated an atomic device and subsequently produced atomic weapons based on two alternate designs. The 509th Composite Group of the U.S. Army Air Forces was equipped with a Silverplate Boeing B-29 Superfortress that could deliver them from Tinian in the Mariana Islands. A uranium gun-type atomic bomb (Little Boy) was dropped on Hiroshima on August6, 1945, followed by a plutonium implosion-type bomb (Fat Man) on the city of Nagasaki on August9. Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects of the atomic bombings killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness and malnutrition. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizable military garrison.

On August15, just days after the bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet Union\'s declaration of war, Japan announced its surrender to the Allies. On September2, it signed the instrument of surrender, effectively ending World War II.
