If you mean the Doolittle Raid. The Japanese figured there was no planes that could reach their country. Hawaii was way beyond range of planes at the time. The bombers launched off the aircraft carrier to bomb Tokyo was never attempted before so the thought of it as a way to bomb was probably never considered by the Japanese
It was new & kept a secret until deployed.
because the Americans dropped it there to end the war
No body was expecting an atomic bomb since no body knew about them. The US distributed some leaflets but the Japanese did not know the fate coming up.
The US were working on the bomb since 1941 up to 1945 when the first bomb tested.
I can't tell if you're trying to make a joke or not. There were no "sticks of dynamite" used in the atomic bomb.
Ended WW2. Japanese were clearly losing, but due to their culture and tradition they refused to surrender. The US in dropping the A-bomb debatably saved more lives then they killed, as without it the war in Asia would have continued.
It takes less than a minute.
Well, the official answer to this was that Truman figured, and probably rightly, that the Japanese would defend their homeland to the last living body and take as many Americans as they could with them. So, if he could get the Japanese to surrender based on the power of the A-Bomb (and he could prevent them from finding out that we actually had no more than the two that were dropped) he could save a lot of American lives.
yes
in russia in 2007
No. The atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 9th, 1945. MacArthur had no involvement with the development or the delivery of the atomic bomb. He was ordered to occupy Japan by the US Government on August 29th, 1945, and arrived there to take control of his new position on May 3rd.

yes, because if the US hadn't used the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then the Japanese would basically take over the whole world. When we bombed the two cities, the Japanese had no other choice but surrender, otherwise, we would have bombed two more cities, causing more deaths.

It didn't take 1 day to make the atomic bomb, it took most of WW2 for the US to create it with testings.

still, an normal atomic bomb is more powerful. a thermonuclear bomb can easily take out a base since the thermal energy it produces will easily deep-roast everything it touches, but it doesnt turn an entire city into ash in seconds, as do with a normal atomic bomb.

you take it and drop it at any place that doesn't enjoy you
