To "convince" Japan to surrender in WWII.
Japan was the last of the remaining axis powers in WWII, and its surrender ended WWII, as the axis forces had been completely defeated
In WWII, Japan attacked China, made an alliance with Germany and Italy and attacked the USA on December 7, 1941. The refusal of Japan to surrender resulted in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, after which Japan surrendered. Japan's invasion of China, (and the failure of the League of Nations to respond to the invasion), was one of the causes of WWII. Japan was not a neutral nation in WWII.
The use of the Atomic Bomb on Japan was to get Japan to surrender after Germany signed a treaty to end WWII.
Si, Senor! As of 1945 with the surrender of Japan during WWII, the allies decided that, in fact, a potato can be a potato.
OMG has no one answered this? Serious? Anyway, the answer is Germany ,on the 30 April 1945,when Hitler killed himself, his wife and children in his bunker. It didn't take long after that for them to surrender!
== == It was an effort to convince Japan to surrender during WWII
No, FDR died before the end of WWII. Instead, his former vice president, Truman, accepted Japan's surrender.
Yes America dropped the atomic bombs on Japan, in Hiroshima first on the 6th of August 1945 and in Nagasaki on the 9th of August to force the Empire of Japan to surrender in WWII
Unfortunately it was the only credible choice for the Allies in WWII. Japan did want to surrender (to surrender in Japan was to lose face). The battles for Iwo Jima and Okinawa were bloodbaths for both sides. An island invasion of Japan would have cost probably a million casualties for both the Allies and Japan. Dropping the two atom bombs was difficult but the only realistic choice for the Allies and Japan. Japan soon surrendered after Nagasaki was bombed.
Japan Did surrender to the USA, and President Harry Truman, after two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan, (and after Russia declared war on Japan). Japan did not want to surrender, because their samurai code said it was better to die instead of to surrender. It was after they were bombed with nuclear weapons (and after Russia attacked the Japanese forces in Manchuria), that Japan finally decided to surrender.
The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, finally caused Japan to surrender.
