No. The attack led by Jimmy Doolittle and his Raiders was the response to the attack on Pearl Harbor. It happened two months after the raid on Pearl.
Hiroshima was simple part of one nuclear attack intended to end the war. Since it did not bring on an immediate Japanese surrender the second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.
We had to do something drastic. If we invaded the home islands of Japan there would have been a great lose of American troops during those battles. Japanese Code of Honor does not allow for surrender, but a fight to the death. The first bomb caused over 100,000 deaths and I don;t recall the number for the second bomb, but it was enough to force a surrender. Good thing too, cause we only had the two bombs and it would have taken moths to build more. Funny thing is, both the Japanese and the Russians thought we had more of them.

∙ 14y agoAt the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.
