7. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Second World War was different from the First World War in a number of ways:
It was more about war between ideologies (systems of ideas) rather than about land
(Although it was still a bit about land!)
There were large-scale inhuman acts such as:
Nazi concentration camps
Japan torturing prisons of war (PoWs)
Firebombing of cities
This made the issues even more emotional

12. Warning Leaflets
Through much of World War II, Allied bombers would sometimes drop leaflets warning of impending bombing of a city. he leaflets often told civilians to evacuate, and sometimes encouraged them to push their leaders to surrender. In August 1945, leaflets were dropped on several Japanese cities (including, supposedly, Hiroshima and Nagasaki). The first round, known as the "LeMay leaflets," were distributed before the bombing of Hiroshima. These leaflets did not directly reference the atomic bomb, and it is unclear whether they were used to warn citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki specifically. The second round features a picture of a mushroom cloud and a message about the Soviet invasion (which commenced on August 9). The historical record is unclear, but it seems as though these leaflets did not make it to Nagasaki until after it, too, had been hit by an atomic bomb. Later leaflets informed the Japanese populace about their government's surrender before the emperor'sofficial announcement on August 15,  

13. 6 August 1945 At 08:16am the USA drops a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima (it is code-named “Little Boy”)

14. 8 August 1945 The USSR declares war on Japan

15. 9 August 1945 At 11:01am the USA drops a nuclear bomb on Nagasaki (it is code-named “Fat Man”)

16. 2 September 1945 Japan formally surrenders. WWII is over
This was the first time an emperor had ever addressed the nation by radio, and Hirohito delivered the speech formal, florid Japanese. The emperor never used the word "surrender," and continued to justify Japan’s earlier aggression, while at the same time advocating for worldwide "prosperity and happiness." He also made reference to “a new and most cruel bomb," cited as a reason for surrender.
