However, only 29 Japanese planes were shot down out of a total of 347. This was a surprise for Americans because Japanese had plan this without declaration of war. The Japanese believed that if they were successful with bombing the US Ships and Aircraft that they would then have enough time to proceed in conquering China. This was all because of the event that had passed with Japan and USA in 1934. 2. Nagasaki Germany refused to believe that the Americans had successfully built an atomic bomb, even after it was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
