Question

Explain whether the United States was right to drop the atomic bomb on Japan

Answer 1

Answer:

During the fial two weeks of second world war the U.S had dropped two atomic bomb on japan .The first one dropped on 6 august 1945 in the city hiroshima killing 140000 Peoples and the second one dropped in city nagasaki killing 50000 Peoples.

Harry S. Truman was the 33rd president of the United States from 1945 to 1953,Faced with the Japanese refusal to surrender, President Truman had little choice.

Atomic bombs were horrible but I agree with US secretary of war Henry L Stimson that using them was the “least choice”. A bloody invasion and round the clock conventional bombing would have led to a far higher death toll and so the atomic weapons actually saved thousands of American and millions of Japanese lives. The bombs were the best means to bring about unconditional surrender, which is what the US leaders wanted. Only this would enable the Allies to occupy Japan and root out the institutions that led to war in the first place.

Hence it is right to drop atom bomb on japan in second world war .
