Hardly awesome; in fact worse than mediocre. Bad facts - bad history.
@Swiss Bezerker - The United States only had two bombs and it dropped both of them. A third bomb was not assembled until the end of August. At the end of 1946 the U.S. nuclear arsenal consisted of exactly six weapons.
@YNCS -The allies issued the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945, which called for the unconditional surrender of Japan. The Japanese waffled and on August 6, 1945, the United States dropped the Hiroshima bomb.
At that time President Truman announced to the Japanese, "We are now prepared to obliterate rapidly and completely every productive enterprise the Japanese have ... It was to spare the Japanese from utter destruction that the ultimatum of July 26 was issued at Potsdam. Their leaders promptly rejected that ultimatum. If they do not now accept our terms they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on earth." I would submit that this constitutes another call to surrender.
The Japanese government again waffled and the United States dropped the Nagasaki bomb on August 9, 1945. The Japanese government informed the allies on August 11, 1945, that Japan would accept the Potsdam Declaration with modifications. The allies responded on August 12, 1945, with some clarifying language to the declaration. The USAAF launched a massive incendiary raid which completely destroyed an additional eight Japanese cities on August 14, 1945.
The Emperor announced the surrender of Japan on August 15, 1945. The occupation of Japan commenced on August 28, 1945, and the formal surrender took place on September 2, 1945.
