Japan was trying to develop weapons which could reach the US. balloon carrying fire bombs did reach the US but those didn't do much. The real deal was that Germany was trying to develop an atomic bomb but the US beat them. We don't have proof that Japan were trying to develop one. August 6 and 9 1945, Japan suffered the pain of the nuclear bombs.
