The events at Pearl Harbor made Japan the biggest threat to the United States, and Japan soon became the country's number one target. The attack was taken as an aggressive declaration of war, and the U.S.'s hand was forced. The hard work of the Manhattan Project had come to fruition, and the atomic bomb was ready.
As retaliation, the U.S. bombed Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Japan was a danger to the country, and the U.S. needed to attain the upper hand. After the bombings of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan was forced to surrender and the war came to an end.
