Question

Why did the united states decide to use atomic bombs on japan apex?

Answer 1

Because they had it thought out a land attack would have been costly and millions would have died so we had to choose the lesser of 2 evils... thousands to die. plus this was the only way to get the japs to surrender they were known for their fight to the death mentality

Answer 2

To end the war sooner. So less Americans died.

I accidentally closed the question before I saw the exact wording but it was along those lines.
