The rebuilding of Hiroshima

Question of the Day, Oct. 28

Q:  How long did it take to rebuild Hiroshima after it was bombed? (Daniel)

A:  It was a gradual process, and it's hard to know at what point the rebuilding could be considered to be "finished"; but it took ten years for the city to reach it's former, pre-bomb population.
