[change] History
During the Edo period, Nagasaki was the only port in which trade with other countries was permitted[1] because of the national isolation policy (sakoku).[3]
In the 1870's, Nagasaki became the capital city of the prefecture which evolved from the former province.
Nagasaki was the second of two Japanese cities which were destroyed with an atomic bomb near the end of the Second World War.[1]
