The USA dropped 2 Atomic Bombs on Japan, at Hiroshima, and at Nagasaki. The US used the Atomic bomb to weaken the Japanese military strength as the Japanese still had an army about 5 million strong, but after the strikes the Japanese surrendered unconditionally.
The US dropped the bombs in preperation of the proposed invasion of the Japanese mainland. This opertion never happened. The US high command wanted to defeat Japan at the minimum cost of lives as the Japanese army was still strong.
