After two atomic weapons were dropped, Japan decided to surrender.
They did but they had decided to surrender before the bombs. August 6 1945, US drops the first bomb. Meanwhile Japan was hoping for Russia to help with the procedure but Russia declared war against Japan and invaded Manchuria making a mess of Japan's service men there. Japan did know to surrender to the United States than surrender to Russia.
