What is Signifcance of the bombing of hiroshima?
Philosophically or just in terms of what happened there? I know more trivia than cohesive facts...It was where the U.S. dropped the 1st nuclear bomb (nicknamed Little Boy), which, I believe, was the beginning of the end of WWII in the Pacific Theater. The plane that dropped the bomb was the Enola Gay. Another bomb was dropped about a week later. I would read up more on this topic; it really is something that everyone should have some knowledge of. There is a book entitled Hiroshima which explains in great detail what happened, and it must be fairly straightforward to read because I remember reading it in middle school. The dropping of the bomb was justified by the U.S. at the time because it did not appear that Japan would ever concede defeat; they were willing to fight to the death at the cost of many, many lives on both sides. (Think kamakize attacks; they were quite fierce warriors from what I understand). I think that historically, the US has not been criticized too badly for having dropped the bomb because it did bring the war to a fairly swift end, and then the US took a very active major role in helping to rebuild Japan. That is probably why we are on quite friendly terms and they don't hate the US like other countries seem to.
Japan finally surrendered after which even occurred?
During World War II, the event that served as the final catalyst for the Japanese surrender to the Allies was the dropping of a second atomic bomb upon Japan by American air forces.

What city did Britain bomb during World War 2?

Did Japan refuse to surrender after the bombing of Hiroshima?
No, Japan didn't immediately refuse after the bombing of Hiroshima. After the bombing, Emperor Hirohito (the Japanese leader during the Second World War) went into consultation with the Imperial War Council (of Japan) where they were deciding whether or not to surrender. However, three days after the bombing of Hiroshima, America bombed Japan again, this time in Nagasaki. Roughly a week after the Nagasaki bombing, Emperor Hirohito on 15 August 1945 announced surrender via radio broadcast. He officially surrendered in written agreement later that year on 2 September 1945.

Did japan ask for peace after the second atomic bomb?
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.
Why do some people say the bomb was unnecessary?
Those against the dropping of the atomic bomb point out that Japan was near to surrendering anyway. They explain that the fierce resistance the USA was experiencing was Japan's final efforts. They identify that the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima was basically an attack on the civilian population who had no hope of survival. Those against the bomb also suggest that the bomb was more of a test and a show of American power to their main rival the USSR. A second bomb was dropped a week later - a different type of bomb - some suggest that this is proof it was more of an experiment than anything else. Most significantly hundreds of thousands suffered radiation poisoning as a result of the bomb - even those not born at the time.
How did the US use the atomic bomb on Hiroshima?

The weapon had been delievered to Tinian Island and the US Air Base a week prior to the bombing.
