The Potsdam Declaration (1945) pressed an unconditional submission to Japan but Japan did not surrender to the allied forces. After Japan ignored the offer, the U.S military and political chiefs had decided to use their new super-weapon to bring the war to a speedy end. Following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Naggasaki, Japen surrendered, marking the end of the war on September 2, 1945.
The U.S dropped the bombs on two cities of Japan was because of a wrong translation. On 28 September 1945, the Japanese Premier said by a news conference that the Ministry would follow the ‘mokusastu policy’. The word ‘mokusastu’ has two meanings. One meaning is ‘ignore’, another meaning is ‘no comment’. At that time the Japanese government was hoping for a nonaggression pact the Soviet Union and the Japanese emperor Hirohito wanted the ministry which was the administrative organization to accept the Potsdam Declaration’s demand.
The premier meant ‘the government gives no comment’ also that meant ‘the government thick about the surrender’ but even all the Japanese media naturally explained it as ‘ignore’ and Japanese Union reporter also translated the word to ‘ignore’ on the English news paper. No one thought the word’s original meaning was ‘no comment’.
However the wrong translation might not be reliable then are the other reasons of why did the US drop on Japan were Japan lost the Battle of the Midway (June, 1942) but continued resisting. Japanese Gamigajae (新風) suicide squads resisted the combined-force. The U.S continuously won but losses were high. The US expected that if the war was continued by Japan, the US would lose more than a million people including the home island.
The Soviet Union entered the War against Japan. After Germany's surrender, tension mounted between the U.S. and the Soviet Union regarding (about) the disposition of postwar Europe. The U.S. began worrying about the increased-influence, the Soviets would obtain if they joined the war against. Japan and most Europe would be became communism by the Soviet Union. If that happened U.S economic development would be difficult/difficulty.
The wrong translation helped the US dropped the bomb on Japan. Japan continued losing after the Battle of the Midway (June, 1942) but they made the suicide commandos and resisted the combined-force. If the war continued, the US would lose more then 1million people. The U.S had two atomic bombs to finish experiments; they needed to experiment the valuation of the explosive power. The US had to keep the Soviet Union from acting against them because if The Soviets joined the war against and then the war would end, Japan and most Europe to become communisms. If that happened the U.S economic development would be difficult.
