The second atomic bomb was used on Nagasaki because Japan did not surrender after the first bomb on Hiroshima. The goal was to force Japan to surrender quickly and end World War II.
Japan refused to surrender after the first atomic bomb.
it caused japan to surrender after the second bomb being dropped
because japan was not ready to surrender.
It served as the second target for the atomic bomb since Japan didn't surrender with the first bomb.
No- not until a second bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki.
"Little Boy" the first atomic bomb used in warfare was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6th, and "Fat Man" the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan on August 9th. Although Japan was already ready to surrender before the atom bombs were dropped, they did not surrender when the first bomb was dropped, which caused the US to drop the second one. After the second atomic bomb was dropped, Imperial Japan surrendered 5 days later, and the surrender ceremony was September 2nd, which also ended World War 2.
Japan was in total disaster after the atomic bombs and Japan had no remedy what so ever. They had to surrender.
Not for a week or more did the Japanese Emperor Hirohito surrender after the second bomb was dropped. So yes, they surrendered and ushered in peace after the 2nd bomb was dropped. Their motivation to surrender however was not due only to the atomic bombs but also because the Red Army of the Soviet Union was ready to invade Japan.
The US dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and told them they would drop another if Japan did not surrender. They didn't surrender, so the US dropped a second atom bomb. The US then told Japan that they would send a THIRD atom bomb (which they actually didn't have. It was a HUGE bluff), and luckily for mankind, the Japanese DID surrender.
The use of the Atomic Bomb on Japan was to get Japan to surrender after Germany signed a treaty to end WWII.
The dropping of the first atomic bomb.
