Why should you drop the atomic bomb to defeat japan?
Because Japan refused to surrender. Japan did not believe in surrender. They felt every Japanese person, men women children, civilian, military should die to save the emperor. It was the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the invasion of Japan. The invasion of Japan would have killed a lot more people than the two atomic bombs did. Japan surrendered after Nagasaki was bombed. It was the lesser of two evils and saved countless Allied and Japanese lives. There was No other way other than invasion to defeat Japan.

How did japan react to hiroshima?
The Japanese where stunned and shocked by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The extent of the damage and the manner in which it was inflicted (one plane, one bomb and one horrendous blast), left them reeling to comprehend the possibilities and looking for a defense against similar attacks. It took the second attack to make the (same) point, and the Japanese then surrendered.
What role did the atomic bomb play in ending world war 2?
It didn't really. The war was all but over when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed. It did ensure the Japanese surrendered earlier then they may have otherwise done. There were claims made that doing so saved many lives. Many people did not believe that at the time and more do not believe it today. The west knew that the USSR would be its main rival after the war and by showing that the west, the US in particular, had 'the bomb' was a demonstration to the USSR who had not yet developed the weapon.
What did Japan have to say about the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombings?
Believe or not, the said it was a blessing from god. They were sick of the war and wanted the end of it.
Did the atom bomb start war II?
Yes. The atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945 on Hiroshima. Anotherbomd was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1941. Japan surrendered on August 15, 1941. After the recent declassification of documents relating to Harry S Truman (the US president at the time of the bombings), there is evidence that Japan was already willing to surrender and the bombs were not needed. Some believe that the bombs were dropped not to win WW2, but rather to demonstrate to USSR (whom the US already saw as their next adversary, although allies during WW2) that the US had such a potent weapon.
What type of atomic bombs did America drop on Japan?

When America drop the bombs on Japan , it was fission type. Both Uranium and Plutonium in Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively.
Did the Japanese fight back after you dropped the atomic bomb?
The country surrendered and demobilized their military. However many individual Japanese soldiers on islands either did not get the message of the surrender or did not believe it and continued to fight on their own for years after the war was over. The last of these Japanese soldiers finally surrendered in 1974, 29 years after the end of the war.
Why do the people of hiroshima stay in the city despite the rumors of a bombing?
The Japanese didn't believe that the US could really wipe out the city with a single bomb. <><><><> Remember- there was a war going on. MANY Japanese cities had been bombed with ordinary bombs. Hiroshima had sustained very little damage until that point.
