Why did the American select Hiroshima as the city on which to drop the first atomic bomb?
Hiroshima had been the birth place of the emperor of Japan and the bombing would be a message to the emperor.
The city of Hiroshima was a ghost town and therefore, few civilians would be hurt by the atomic bombing.
The amount of destruction could be actually studied because Hiroshima had had little damage done by the war.
This city had sent many soldiers and they did not want them to have a home to go back to after the war.

Answer:

Hiroshima was chosen as the primary target since it had remained largely untouched by bombing raids, and the bomb's effects could be clearly measured. While President Truman had hoped for a purely military target, some advisers believed that bombing an urban area might break the fighting will of the Japanese people.
