Question

How did the atomic bomb help to increase the casualties in WW2

Answer 1

President Harry S. Truman, warned by some of his advisers that any attempt to invade Japan would result in horrific American casualties, ordered that the new weapon be used to bring the war to a speedy end.

Though, on August 6, 1945, an American B-29 bomber dropped the world's first deployed atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The explosion wiped out 90 percent of the city and immediately killed 80,000 people; tens of thousands more would later die of radiation exposure.

That didn't do much to help. In fact, it increased nothing, nothing more, none the less. It just made thinks worse for them, and Truman's view from the people in Japan.

Hope this helped!
