Best Answer

Two atomic bombs were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. With the prospect of further atomic bombs being dropped by the Americans, Japan had either to fight onto the bitter end, or surrender. Thankfully, by Japan surrendering, further bloodshed of American forces and Japanese civilians was avoided.

The atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, without them, Japans Nationalistic/Patriotic spirit would probably let them fight till the dead. Best examples are the kamikaze attacks.
