Nagasaki and the Nuclear Strike

The Nagasaki had already been bombed five times prior to August of 1945. It was not considered a high priority target for showing the bomb's full destructive force, because remember that was the whole fucking point. The people of Nagasaki, as well as the rest of Japan, they'd kind of sort of been told what had happened in Hiroshima on August 7th. This announcement, however, was like none ever released by the Japanese government. While past releases might admit a defeat, those defeats were always soft-pedaled. There were still plenty of people in Japan at this point that thought that Japan was winning the war.
