yeah japan was done even before we put boots on Okinawa, we just needed to "test" the new bombs in the real world, outside of the new mexico desert.
hiroshima was hit by uranium and nagasaki by plutonium. then "centers" - not hospitals - were set up outside the cities to "treat" the test subjects, because no one really understood how they would affect the human body.
This was just a convenient time and location to announce to the world: "We're the Boss now"
