August 6, 1945 and August 9, 1945. It was important to do more than one and do the second as soon as possible after the first to prove it was not a fluke and we could probably continue dropping them any time we wanted. Maybe, maybe not but appearance was important. At the end of Operation Crossroads in 1946 the US had built a grand total of 9 atomic bombs and detonated 5 (Trinity, Little Boy, Fat Man, Crossroads Able, and Crossroads Baker) leaving exactly 4 in stockpile.

Why did the Soviets make nuclear weapons?
The U.S developed nuclear weapons to scare the Japanese and end world war 2 for the Americans ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrong! Actually the U.S. developed nuclear weapons in WW2 in an arms race with the supposed Nazi Germany project to do the same. Unknown to us, the German project soon stalled and concentrated on reactors not bombs. When Germany surrendered in spring 1945 the U.S. project continued as it was so close to finishing. In August the only 2 nuclear bombs used in war were dropped on Japan, prompting their surrender and ending the war. They were developed to defend against a possible German threat but got used against Japan to end the war. After the war, development slowed but was prompted by fears of the expansion of Soviet Communism. Development accelerated again after the USSR's 1949 test of their first nuclear bomb, causing an extended arms race.
