the us used atomic bombs against Japan to end World War 2. the effects were the annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
-edit-
Most people agree that the bombs (two) were used to quickly end the war with Japan and save American lives.
The effects were they ended the war and saved American lives. Exactly what their purpose was.
But, they had side-effects, or effects that were known, and predicted, but not necessarily wanted. In some cases, the side effects of the radiation were so bad that it, in itself, added to the purpose of the bombings coming about. Ending the war and saving many many lives that would have been lost in a long drawn out conventional war of guns and planes and ships etc.

They were dropped to put a faster end to the war that japan was waging against the US and her Allys. And no doubt to see what would happen. The consequences were the timely defeat of Japan, the survival of thousands of prisoners of war that were being starved and worked to death. and the start of the most expensive arms race the world had ever seen.
