Detailed explanation-1: -The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the reason for Japan’s surrender and the end of World War II.
Detailed explanation-2: -It looked increasingly likely that the United States would have to commit itself to a land invasion, which could have claimed many American lives. Instead, the atomic bomb served as a tool to bring the war in the Pacific to a close sooner.
Detailed explanation-3: -On August 10, 1945, Japan offered to surrender to the Allies, the only condition being that the emperor be allowed to remain the nominal head of state. Planning for the use of additional nuclear weapons continued even as these deliberations were ongoing.
