Most people believe that. Some people wanted revenge for the attack on peal harbor. It was the surprise military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United Statesnaval base at Pearl Harbor, in the United States Territory of Hawaii, on the morning of December 7, 1941. The attack led to the United States' entry into World War II.

Who threw the bomb in nagasaki and hiroshima?
Setting a precedent that continues today, the order for the bombings was given by President Harry Truman. Except in very specific situations, only the President can authorize the use of nuclear weapons. Historians cite the failure of Japan to surrender despite devastating firebombings of Japanese cities and the decimation of their naval forces. Had they admitted defeat, atomic bombs might not have been necessary, and the world's history might have been very different.
