Top Japanese officials were deadlocked on the decision of whether to surrender or continue the war after the two bombings. The emperor was asked to make the final decision as a sort of "tie-breaker", eventually leading to the Japanese citizens first hearing their emperor’s voice.
Was that atomic bomb necessary?
In my humble opinion, I have no idea. I do know that many in this thread underestimate the Japanese when they say that they were already close to being defeated prior to the bombings.
