The United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 to hasten Japan's surrender and effectively end World War II. The decision was influenced by the desire to avoid a prolonged invasion of Japan, which was expected to result in significant casualties on both sides. Additionally, showcasing the devastating power of the atomic bomb also aimed to strengthen the U.S. position in post-war negotiations, particularly with the Soviet Union. Ultimately, the bombings resulted in Japan's surrender on August 15, 1945.
During World War II, Japanese Americans were treated extremely unfairly. Specifically, President Roosevelt signed an executive order which called for all Japanese Americans in the US to be rounded up and moved into camps.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941) many people started discriminating against Japanese Americans because the Japanese were the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. People looked at the Japanese Americans as spies and untrustworthy. FDR saw this in people and relocated the Japanese Americans to camps in Wyoming to "protect" them. Mexicans and African Americans were not relocated and looked at as spies. People still discriminated againsts these ethnics groups but not to the lenghts as which they did to the Japanese Americans.
