What was the political and economic significance of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a very significant event in human history. Politically, it meant that Imperial Japan was finished and had no choice but to surrender, which it did. It also ushered in the nuclear age, and nuclear weapons have been the most important factor in international politics ever since that time. In economic terms, it meant that a lot of money was going to be spent by various nations in order to build nuclear weapons. A major defense industry was thereby created. There are many other consequences as well, too many to mention. Large events have many consequences, and the consequences have their own consequences, in an ever expanding sequence that propagates forever.
