Detailed explanation-1: -By the end of 1945, the bombing had killed an estimated 140, 000 people in Hiroshima, and a further 74, 000 in Nagasaki. In the years that followed, many of the survivors would face leukemia, cancer, or other terrible side effects from the radiation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Japan proposed a conditional surrender on August 10, 1945, to the U.S., saying it would do so only if the Emperor could remain the symbolic head of Japan. The U.S. rejected this proposal, demanding an unconditional surrender from Japan. Eventually, Japan accepted defeat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nuclear weapons shocked Japan into surrendering at the end of World War II-except they didn’t. Japan surrendered because the Soviet Union entered the war. Japanese leaders said the bomb forced them to surrender because it was less embarrassing to say they had been defeated by a miracle weapon.
Detailed explanation-4: -On September 2, 1945, Japanese representatives signed the official Instrument of Surrender, prepared by the War Department and approved by President Harry S. Truman.
