The US detonates a uranium bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima, killing more than 140,000 people within months. Many more later die from radiation-related illnesses. The US explodes a plutonium bomb over Nagasaki. An estimated 74,000 people die by the end of 1945. Little can be done to ease the suffering of the victims who survive the blast.

Was the Japanese surrender after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki largely coincidental and not directly related to the bombing of those two cities?

The Japanese surrender following the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was significantly influenced by the atomic bombings, as they demonstrated the devastating power of nuclear weapons and the potential for further destruction. However, other factors also played a role, including the Soviet Union's declaration of war on Japan and the ongoing military situation in the Pacific. While some argue that Japan was already on the verge of surrender, the bombings accelerated the decision. Thus, while not solely responsible, the bombings were a crucial catalyst in Japan's eventual surrender.
