To convince the Japanese to surrender
There were no warnings. The Manhattan Project was a secret. This was the name of the research project that developed the atom bomb.
indianapolis. it was sunk by a japanese submarine only a few days after delivering the bomb to tinnian.
It ended WW2, saving possibly hundreds of thousands of Japanese and American lives. The "bomb" saved more Japanese lives than it took. The Japanese on the home islands were dug in and were ready to resist until the last man. The shocking effect the bomb had on the Japanese people left no question in their minds that they had been defeated. Because of this the occupation of Japan under the wisdom and command of General Douglas McCarthur was smooth and relatively short. JPM

No, the Japanese never landed on or invaded Bathurst Island. Bathurst was, however, the first place to be attacked by the Japanese in an airbourne assault before the bombing of Darwin. Father John McGrath, head of the missionary on Bathurst island, sent radio signals to Darwin warning of the oncoming onslaught of Japanese fighter planes from his signal station next to the church as they flew overhead. The Japanese machine gunned the church and signal station from the air and dropped a bomb on an aircraft in Bathurst Island airfield. They then continued on to Darwin, bombing the city and harbour.
The Japanese bombed a number of cities and towns in Australia during World War II - many more than most people realise. North Australian towns airports and harbours were repeatedly bombed, with Darwin bearing the brunt of the attacks. Darwin was first bombed on 19 February 1942. Japanese air attacks continued until November 1943. Darwin was bombed a total of 64 times. Other victims of Japanese air raids were Townsville, Mossman, Katherine, Wyndham, Derby, Broome and Port Hedland.
The Japanese were moving in that direction.
