Question

One of the most controversial turning points in history was the decision made by I.S president Harry S. Thurman to use atomic weapons on japan the lone remaining Axis power at the conclusion of world war 11 in your opinion was the decision to drop atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki a military necessity? If not was It justifiable for a reason other than milk necessitiy ?

Answer 1

In my opinion, I think the bombs being dropped were necessary. Japan had a strict military system that was hard to make them surrender. It included dying for your country was the most honor you would ever live for and that if you were selected to be a fighter or suicide flyer that you would have to or face serious consequences, not just for you, but extreme humiliation for your family. Truman saw this as we can invade and lose our lives too(American lives) or go to a speedy end to WW2 by dropping the atomic bomb.
