Let's begin studying the situation back then. It all started for the US with the humiliation at Pearl harbor in 1941. By 1945, Japan had lost their army their airplanes and their naval forces. Most of the people in the main land were not soldiers but simple civilians which had been given orders to await for the attack with sharpened bamboo sticks at the beach.
Something tells me by historical facts that Japan were planing on surrender before the atomic bombing. You see, the civilians were not important for the government. What was important for the government? Their emperor and not loosing their land, so this historical facts tell me that Japan were planing on surrender before the atomic bombings.
August 6 1945 came and the first bomb was dropped. Now back to your question, why did they not surrender soon after that or before? Because the civilians were not important for them. On 8 Aug 1945, Russia declares war on Japan, Russia declared war on Japan and invaded Japanese-ruled Manchuria and now the problem was worse but they have to keep the emperor and the system so it was better to surrender to the US than to Russia. For that matter, this created an issue that ended WW2 but started the cold war and arms race.
Lets's not forget that the next day after Russia invaded Manchuria, the other bomb was dropped.
Japan surrendered after 2 bombs.
Japan refused to surrender. Japan did not believe in surrender, and hated people who did surrender instead of dying to the last person. Pres. Truman dropped two atomic bombs on Japan and Japan surrendered. It was either two atomic bombs or invasion of Japan. Invasion of Japan would mean that the war would last another year and kill a lot more people than the atomic bombs did. Japan surrendered after Nagasaki was bombed, not after Hiroshima. It was either the atomic bombs or invasion. Atomic bombs were the lesser of two evils.
