Those that make this claim believed that the continued saturation bombing with emphasis on the firebombing of Japan's cities, was a certain way to bring the war to an end.
However, the Japanese military culture of " fighting to the death for the honour of the Emperor " meant possible millions of American deaths recapturing every little island from suicidal Japanese forces before even reaching and invading the main Japanese homeland islands.
The military leadership realized this cost in American lives was totally unacceptable. Consequently, the Japanese were informed that America had a secret super weapon that would be used if they did not immediately surrender.
The Japanese military leaders squabbled amongst themselves for an entire week about how best to negotiate a surrender so that they would not lose possession of all the islands and territory they had captured. Their greedy scheming led to catastrophic results.
America took this lack of any answer to mean that her warning was being completely ignored by the Japanese, and decided to demonstrate this new super weapon capable of such immense destruction.
