WHO: allied forces, WHY: In order to prevent the inevitable invasion of mainland Japan and causing further causalities than the atomic bombing did. Effect: saving thousands of lives which would have been otherwise lost had Japan not surrendered to the Allied Forces.
The bombings of Nagaski and Hirishoma were kept secret so to ensure that the atomic bomb blueprints weren't prone to any spies. Believe it or not, the USA only had 3 atomic bombs. 1 was used for testing, so if Japan didn't surrender after the second nuclear bomb impact, an invasion of Japan was the only other means of ending the war.

Not quite- the US had one more nuclear weapon- it was enroute to the war zone when the war ended.
To answer the question- tens of thousands of people were involved- from the people conducting atomic research, mining and refining uranium, the fabrication and testing of the first bombs, the politicians that decided to use the bombs, and the miitary flight crews that dropped them. The first bomb was dropped by the flight crew under the command of Col. Paul Tibbets, the second by a crew commanded by Maj. Charles Sweeney. ________________________________________________________________________
<><><><><><><> All people working on the project were not to reveal anything about the atomic bomb for fear that spies would get their hands on information on the newly-invented atomic bomb.
