During World War II, the event that served as the final catalyst for the Japanese surrender to the Allies was the dropping of a second atomic bomb upon Japan by American air forces. On August 9, 1945, the Japanese city of Nagasaki was destroyed completely by this bomb. Less than one week later, the Japanese initiated a total surrender to the Allies.

No, it was not even a war. It was a US-USSR standoff.The only nuclear war ever fought ended WW2. It lasted from August 6, 1945 (when Hiroshima was bombed) until August 14, 1945 (when Japan surrendered). It only included two nuclear attacks. Japan surrendered just 4 days before the third bomb was ready (although it probably would not have arrived on Tinnian and been prepared for delivery until late August.)!
Did US troops go into Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped?
Even after both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were hit with atomic bombs, the Japanese government took a vote and still refused to surrender. Japan only agreed to surrender when their Emperor told them to do so. The Emperor wanted peace, but was considered a God and, thus, was supposed to stay above politics. He intervened at the request of the Japanese leaders who wanted peace. The US went in filming the destruction the bombs had caused.

What were the effects of dropping the atomic bombs on Japan in World War 2?
After America dropped Little Boy, the hydrogen bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan refused to surrender, despite the entire city being reduced to rubble. As a result, America created Fat Man, a phosphorus bomb, and dropped it on Nagasaki. This immediately resulted in an even bigger disaster and the Japanese immediately surrendered. So in short, the bombings caused major destruction of the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima and Japan surrendered after the second explosion.
