Answer:

In my opinion, it was a military necessity.

Step-by-step explanation:

To me this was a military necessity. Even though the use of the atomic bomb that was dropped in hiroshima led to deaths of people, it was what was used to necessarily bring the war to an end. The Japanese had refused to surrender, using the bomb ended the war. If the war had been allowed to continue, more casualties and cost would have been recorded. Japan still had plans for an invasion. They refused to give up the fight.
