- American scientists were determined to make the atomic bomb before the Germans, and succeeded. They tested one in a desert in New Mexico, which was successful. At this point, Japan was the only Axis power left. The Americans decided to unleash their new discovery on Japan, starting with the first atomic bomb, nicknamed Little Boy, on Hiroshima. It was a success, many died, and the city was demolished. However Japan refused to surrender, despite the destruction of Hiroshima. This led America to unleash their final bomb on Nagasaki, nicknamed Fat Man. Fat Man caused mass destruction, and Nagasaki was demolished. Tens of thousands died. Three days later, Japan surrendered and the Allies won World War II
