Answer 1

The reason the bomb should have been used on japan is because of the attack on pearl harbor, the japanese cost the american forces many lives in the past. In the pacific war alone america lost almost 170,000 lives. With the soviet union being in the war it maded the rival side stronger.

The atomic bomb played no decisive part, from a purely military point of view, in the defeat of Japan." Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief of Staff to President Truman, said the same thing: "The use of [the atomic bombs] at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan.

Truman did not seek to destroy Japanese culture or people; the goal was to destroy Japan's ability to make war. So, on the morning of August 6, 1945, the American B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, dropped the world's first atom bomb over the city of Hiroshima.
