Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are asking the question, you did not have anyone serving in the Pacific theatre. It was a brutal war, and the Japanese war lords (leaders) were determined to fight to the very last male on the islands.
President Truman knew this. So did all his military advisors. It was different in Europe. The Nazis knew when to surrender. The Japanese leaders did not. They were convinced that the American Soldier sooner or later would lose heart. They thought this right until the end. There was, in Truman's mind, only one way to stop the war. He ordered that the weapons be used. First Hiroshima and then Nagasaki (three days later). The Japanese did not know that's all America had and Emperor very courageously made his feelings known.
If you do know someone who served there, go to the trouble of asking them. They likely will be in their 90s and perhaps not be willing to talk about it, but it is worth asking.
