The document summarizes the bombing of cities during World War II by Allied and Axis powers. It discusses how Britain was the first to experience sustained bombing by Germany and maintained morale. Germany faced major bombing raids by Britain starting in 1942. The bombing of Dresden may have killed 100,000 people. By 1945, Japanese industries and homes had been largely destroyed by bombing. The US ultimately dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to Japan's surrender.
