Answer:

That we shouldn't invade Japan.

Step-by-step explanation:

We learned that even though we won, Japan would mount a suicidal defense to any invasion. Hence, we opted to use our bombs instead, on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Answer:

That invading Japan would cost too manly lives on both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Americans' learned that invading Japan would entail total devastation on both sides as Japan would put on a destructive defense of the islands down to the last man. At the battle of Iwo Jima the Japanese soldiers built into the island concealing their weapons and soldiers. Their island hopping would eventually slow down. so in turn they stepped up their attacks and started using flame throwing tanks.
