The reason why the United States dropped the atomic bomb:

1In the autumn of 945, Japan was defeated. US President Truman and the US government wanted to force Japan to surrender as soon as possible, but also wanted to contain the Soviet Union, so Truman decided to choose a target in Hiroshima, Nagasaki and other four Japanese cities to drop atomic bombs.

Prior to this, the United States, Britain and China issued the Potsdam Proclamation, urging Japan to surrender. On July 28th, the Japanese government refused to accept the Potsdam Proclamation. For military and political reasons, the US government used the atomic bomb against Japan as planned.

However, the tragedy in Hiroshima did not make Japan immediately agree to accept the Potsdam ultimatum, that is, unconditional surrender. They tried their best to cover up the truth of Hiroshima and pinned their hopes on the mediation of the Soviet Union. However, on August 8, Japan received a reply from the Soviet leader: Japan continued its war and refused to accept the Potsdam Proclamation.

Therefore, the Japanese government's proposal for Soviet mediation has lost all basis. The Soviet government abided by its obligations to the United Nations, accepted the requirements of the United Nations, and declared war on Japan on August 9th. At 1 1: 30 on the morning of the Soviet invasion, the United States dropped its second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan.
