Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In a radio address in the early afternoon of August 15 (August 14 in the United States), Emperor Hirohito urged his people to accept the surrender, blaming the use of the “new and most cruel bomb” on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the country’s defeat.
Detailed explanation-3: -The United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6th and 9th August 1945. It was done to force Japan to surrender because Japan was not ready to surrender unconditionally. Due to its devastation and huge loss Japan unconditionally accepted the surrender on August 14, 1945.
Detailed explanation-4: -The first atomic bomb, named Little Boy, was dropped on Hiroshima from the Enola Gay, a B-29 bomber, at 8:15 AM on August 6, 1945. The second bomb, named Fat Man, was dropped on Nagasaki from the Bockscar, also a B-29 bomber, at 11:02 AM on August 9, 1945.
Detailed explanation-5: -At 7 p.m. on Aug. 14, 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced the unconditional surrender of Japan to reporters gathered at the White House.
