The '''Atomic bombing of Cavosia''' was the detonation of an atomic bomb in the city of Cavosia in [[Urlazio]] by the [[Imperial Aerial Defense Force]] of [[Caphiria]]. The bombing killed more than 85,000 people, about half of whom were civilians. The bombing was the first use of an {{wp|atomic bomb}} in warfare and the second-ever detonation of a nuclear device. | The '''Atomic bombing of Cavosia''' was the detonation of an atomic bomb in the city of Cavosia in [[Urlazio]] by the [[Imperial Aerial Defense Force]] of [[Caphiria]] during the [[Second Great War]].

During the final year of the [[Second Great War]], the conflict was not going well for [[Caphiria]]. Facing severe setbacks on the ground in the [[Volonia|southern]], [[Pelaxia|Pelaxian]], and [[Aciria|Acirian]] fronts, and with [[Urlazio]] largely lost to [[Urcea]], an invasion of the Caphirian core region and attack on [[Venceia]] no longer appeared improbable. After the [[Battle of the Adonáire Strait]] and beginning of active Urcean military presence in [[Sarpedon]], Caphiria had begun to commit increasingly significant resources to super weapons including the atomic bomb. While military leaders had hoped to use the weapons massed in tactical uses across multiple fronts, by 1943 only one device was ready for use. It was hoped that the shock value of one detonation would cause the allies to sue for peace, preserving the Caphirian state. | During the final year of the [[Second Great War]], the conflict was not going well for [[Caphiria]].
