Did the soviet invasion of manchuria influence president Truman order for the bombimg on nagasaki the next day?

The Soviet invasion of Manchuria on August 9, 1945, coincided with the bombing of Nagasaki, but it did not directly influence President Truman's decision to order the bombing. The primary rationale for using the atomic bomb was to hasten Japan's surrender and reduce American casualties in a potential invasion. However, the timing of the Soviet action may have reinforced the urgency for a swift conclusion to the war before the USSR could establish a strong presence in Asia.

What city world wide had the most death from bombing during World War 2?

I do not have the exact figures, but, I think they are ranked in this order: 1) Tokyo, Japan suffered the worst. 2) Dresden, Germany. 3) Hiroshima, Japan 4) Nagasaki, Japan. I am very sure that is the correct list of the cities that suffered the most from aircraft bombers in WWII. Of course, a lot of people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki who did not die directly from the bomb attacks, would later die from the long term effects of radiation.


Why were the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WW11?

The first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, and the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945. President Truman was advised that if the U.S. launched a full-scale invasion of mainland Japan, the the U.S. would suffer as many as a million casualties. In order to bring the war to a quick ending and incur as few casualties as possible, Truman ordered the atomic bombing of Japan.
