Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was justified at the time as being moral in order to bring about a more rapid victory and prevent the deaths of more Americans. However, it was clearly not moral to use this weapon knowing that it would kill civilians and destroy the urban milieu.
