| It is only to easy to say that Japanese factories had been bombed and that US submarines were playing havoc with their trade. If the Japanese did not surrender after the first atom bomb, then it would appear that there was a hard core of the military who were only to ready to fight to the bitter end. Even after the second atom bomb had been dropped there was no great rush to surrender and there was even moves afoot of a military take over to keep the war going. So dropping the bomb saved far more lives than were lost in the Atomic explosions. Lets face it the Japanese lost more lives in Lee-Mays fire storms than were lost by the Atomic bomb.
