Harry Truman dropped the bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima to end the war. At the time you could say that America was fighting two wars, one against Germany and one against Japan. Even though Japanese military supplies were very limited at this point in time of the war, Truman still enforced the Japanese to sign a treaty to surrender. After they failed to surrendered, America dropped 2 bombs on Japan. The effect was Japan surrendered the war immediately after the 2nd bombing. It also showed the military power America could potentially use to the world. The significance of it now is that the atomic bomb has basically created an arms race. The Cold War was a fued over not only communism but the fear of a nuclear war. Since the mid 1970's America has tried to use a system of detente, in which they make peaceful agreements with other nations such as China and Russia for disarmament. I guess you could say that the atomic bomb unleashed mankind with the ability to destroy anything in its path, and now that its more aware we are trying to prevent nuclear build ups.
