On July 26, 1945 after intensive bombing attacks the Allies issued an ultimatum to Japan to surrender . The Japanese government ignored the ultimatum so Truman okayed the dropping of an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945. That produced no response so on August 9, another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. Six days later, Japan surrendered.
