Question

Summarize the causes and effects of President Truman's decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan.

Answer 1

Reason:

- After the Soviet Red Army was about to defeat Nazi Germany, the US side wanted to more clearly shape its important role in ending World War 2.

- America decided to defeat the Japanese army and did not want to lose many soldiers. Therefore, the country decided to use nuclear weapons

- Through atomic weapons, the United States believes that a nuclear bomb will not only help defeat Japanese forces but also show the world about its horrific weapons of destruction.

Consequence:

- About 135,000 people in Hiroshima died immediately after the atomic bomb exploded. In Nagasaki, about 40,000 people died shortly after the US bomb dropped.
