At the Potsdam Conference (July 1945), the US, in concert with the USSR and the UK, issued an ultimatum to Japan requiring unconditional surrender. When this was not agreed, the US dropped two atomic bombs on Japanese cities: Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The Japanese surrendered on August 15.
