Question

Was the dropping of the atomic bombs justified during ww2?

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

This answer is a personal opinion. The atomic bombs during WW2 were used in order to show the Axis Powers the devastating weaponry that The Allied Powers had at their disposal. In order to Justify this use of these weapons the US believed that using this weapon would quickly bring an end to the war and save countless lives from dying if the war continued. This was the excuse made in order to justify this bombing and state that it was morally right. I believe that it was not justified because the vast majority of individuals killed by the bombings were civilians, including women and children who were not soldiers. There is no morality in that.
