Answer 1

The reason the bomb should have been used on Japan is because of the attack on pearl harbor, the Japanese cost the American forces many lives in the past. In the pacific war alone America lost almost 170,000 lives. With the soviet union being in the war it made the rival side stronger. The war needed to end as quickly as possible. The war would have lasted longer and the death toll would have been higher.

The lives of Japanese people have been affected forever and a mass death loss. The bomb attack killed hundreds of thousands of people, and the effect continued to the next generation. Innocent lives were taken as a result of the war. Many Japanese children were born with genetic defects because of the nuclear explosion.

The atomic bomb played no decisive part, from a purely military point of view, in the defeat of Japan." Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief of Staff to President Truman, said the same thing: "The use of [the atomic bombs] at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The atomic bombs should never have been used. The first one was expected and I could see if I wasn’t a pacifist, but the second was absolutely uncalled for. That one was simply targeted at innocent civilians and the effects of Nagasaki and Hiroshima are still present today.
