No, the second bomb dropped on Nagasaki brought about the surrender of Japan.
Answer Japan was effectively defeated long before the dropping of the two atomic bombs. While her army was largely intact, her merchant marine (and therefore supply routes) was shattered and the navy almost completely gone. The Airforce was also decimated, and many of her cities in ruins (from conventional bombing).
The atomic bombs tipped the hand of the Emperor who had for too long been in thrall to hardline elements in the Japanese Army.

∙ 16y agoIf anything, it was the clincher for Japan's defeat. By the end of the war, Japan had been severely damaged, militarily and economically, and was faced with not only the prospect of an American invasion (potentially with now nuclear weapons being used) but also the declaration of war by the Soviet Union (threatening to bring Japan under communism).

∙ 14y agoAt the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.

The Emperor realized his nation had been defeated once he saw the power of the atom bomb and saw that Russia could invade his nation soon. He surrendered to the Allies once he realized his nation could not win the war.
