Why did we nuke the Japanese?

The most direct answer- because we could. The US had been at war with Japan for 4 years, after Japan attacked the US. For a while, the US was in danger of losing the war. The US had demanded Japan surrender, and they had refused. After an atomic weapon was used on the city of Hiroshima, we again demanded they surrender. When refused, a second atomic weapon was used on Nagasaki. At that point, they surrendered. If the Japanese had not surrendered, and the Allies had invaded Japan with conventional forces, estimates were that it would result in the deaths of 1 million Allied soldiers- and much larger numbers of Japanese military and civilians.

the call of duty: Black ops map - "Nuke Town" is a Nuclear testing site for Weaponary of a Nuclear basis. In gameplay, you don't see a nuke but Nuke Town is a testing ground for nuclear weaponary and machinery, meaning a nuke has probably been tested there before...
