US Atomic Bombing of Japan 1945

After reading the article, I think that the bombing of japan in 1945 was definitly the number 1 story century. Reason for that is that the bomb was used for the first time on the japanese and was very destructive. The bomb turned homeland to wasteland for the japanese , not to mention the bombs after affect on the new children born from the bombs radiation. The atomic bombing of 1945 is most difinitly the top story of the century for the us at least, but others were probaly shocked due to the fact that the US used the bomb even though the war was already over and japan was ready to surrender.
