Japan's atomic program was actually well advanced! Their design would likely have worked. But they lacked fissionable materials, not even enough to build a single Bomb.
There's a theory that they tested their Bomb in Korea someplace, but it didn't blow up, just was a 'dirty bomb' and they had no more material left.
The reason they didn't drop one on the Germans was that they feared it might not work & the Germans would fix it and drop it on London :/ But Germany's atomic program had been "paused" by Hitler & was 2 years behind everyone else.
Hitler could have had them first and saved us all :(
