Atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
According to the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the population in Japan in October 1940 was estimated to be 73,114,308; in November 1945 the population was estimated at 71,998,104. Japan was visibly a thriving country that was hit very hard by the bombing.
Yes very. Before the atomic bombs were droped ally forces were bombing the crap out of Japanese cities hoping they would surrender.

Tora Tora Tora!!
Before the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was a city with a population of around 350,000 people. It covered an area of approximately 90 square kilometers (about 35 square miles). The city was a significant military and industrial center in Japan, which contributed to its selection as a target for the atomic bomb. The bombing resulted in widespread destruction and loss of life, profoundly impacting the city's landscape and population.

No. That was one of the reasons it was a target for the atomic bomb. Any damage done had to be done by the single bomb.
There none before the bombs. Japanese were willing to dye fighting.

Assuming you mean Atomic Bombs, it was because they didn't have any, and besides, how much punishment should be enough for the Japanese to see the writing ion the wall? The fire bombing of Japan before the use of Atomic weapons had been far more devastating and wide-spread than the Atomic Bomb later were.
