Compare how the warring countries conducted the war. In what ways were their (Axis &amp; Allies) conducts similar and in what wa
lesya [120]

Answer:

While the Axis powers committed far worse war crimes that were more numerous than the allies, the allies including the U.K., France, United States, and Soviet Union were no stranger to these acts as well.

Explanation:

While the Axis have the Holocaust,  and human experimentation by both Japan and Nazi Germany, the allies had several war crimes committed as well.

Some of these include the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan, firebombing of Dresden, and the Soviet treatment of German civilians and POWs throughout the war.

The only action that can really be justified in any way was the atomic bombs. It made Japan capitulate quickly rather than drawing out the conflict which some historians argue would have caused millions of more military and civilian casualties. It was an extremely violent, and brutal war. As are most.
