not to drop the bomb?

Answer:

Explanation:

YES, HE DID MAKE A RIGHT CHOICE

=================================================================

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF TRUMAN DID NOT DROP THE ATOMIC BOMBS

If he did not drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this would mean he would have to do a ground invasion of Japan. That is the first problem. The Japanese terrain is filled with mountains where the Japanese have the home field advantage meaning they can take advantage of what they have and pummel the Americans.

Another problem. Japanese soldiers are not the type of people to give up. They follow the standard that if you die in war, you die in war honouring your country but if you do not die for your country, you will live, knowing that you have shamed your family for the rest of your life.

=================================================================

IN A NUTSHELL...

It was to minimize the loss of life even if it meant that civilians were going to die. If a war were to continue, American lives would be lost left, right and centre. This would also bring a more rapid victory, ending the war completely, stopping any more casualties from the war. But clearly, the USA did not think about the moral side of using an atomic bomb but yes they were completely justified.

=================================================================
