Here's another story that many people don't know.

There was another benefit for the two nukes only for the USA. It was to completely disable the Provisional Korean Government to become more pro-American. Right before the two nuclear bombs detonated, there was an America-backed plan to invade Japanese-occupied Korea on August 20th.

But this was discarded because of the early surrender and make America and Kim Il Sung (of the Guerilla faction; ironically backed by the USSR) powerful influences to the whole Korean Peninsula. This early Japanese surrender brought the sudden divisions inside the Korean Provisional government.

The two a-bombs over Japan did more than just affect Japan. It completely crippled South Korean political authority up to today by America.
