Why did Hitler decide to use the Atomic bomb against Japan?

Hitler did not have the atomic bomb and anyhow Japan was on his side. I cannot believe someone could ask such a question. The United States used the atomic bomb against Japan after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. They used one on Hiroshima on 8-6-1945 and used one on Nagasaki on 8-9-1945. Someone really didnt pay attention to any basic history classes whatsoever.

Why did the axis power surrender during World War 2?

Answer Italy - Mussolini's cabinet met to vote him out of office. The Allies had invaded Sicily and were bombing Rome and the Italians did not want the war to destroy their ancient cities. Later, at the end of the war, the partisans captured Mussolini and executed him. Germany - Germany followed Hitler and fought until the country was completely conquered by the Russians approaching from the east and the Allies from the west. Hitler killed himself and the German army surrendered. Japan - The Allies knew the Japanese were preparing their citizens to fight to protect their country. The US dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan and they were convinced that further fighting was futile. They surrendered on the USS Missouri to General MacArthur.
