The United States dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima, a major Japanese city. This did not result in surrender. So the United States dropped a second atom bomb on Nagasaki, another major Japanese city. This was finally enough to force the Japanese into surrendering.
The dropping of the Atomic bomb
the united states retaliated by dropping two atomic bombs on japan because they thought it was the only way to end the war. Maybe if the suprise attack on Pearl Harbor did not occur thousands of Japanese would not have died.
The justification for the dropping of the two atomic bombs was to save lives. Without the atomic bombs America would have had to invade Japan and there would have been hundreds of thousands of casualties.If America had invaded Japan then many Americans and Japanese would have died in the urban warfare that would have ensued.The Japanese would have literally fought to the death, and the war would have lasted another year.I believe that the dropping of the atomic bombs saved more lives than were lost in the explosions.yes
There were no more atomic bombs to drop. Further, the Japanese government had already sued for peace.

After massive bombing raids had already devastated the Japanese home islands, the final impetus was the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan, virtually destroying the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan agreed to surrender just six days after the second bombing.
None. The Japanese were just about to surrender until the United States announced they were bombing Japan, the Japanese asked that they only didn't bomb their former capital Kobe. The Americans followed their wish but still bombed Nagasaki an Hiroshima.
yes, in a way, it was not directly after the dropping that it was over but the Japanese surrendered after that.
