Answer:

It all depends on how you look at the war at this point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whether, it be an American or Japanese standpoint. Loss of life would be catastrophic for the Americans if they were to invade. The Japanese also had the Soviet Union in the north to deal with. Japan would have surrendered eventually, but these bombs prevented massive American casualties and ended the war sooner.
