Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The atomic bomb had allowed for the rest of the world to know that they had lost. The atomic bomb also made Japan disband from the war leading for Germany and Italy to crumble more and more leading to the end of world war 2. Although the bomb had killed people all bombs are gonna do that but it was also still necessary.

Answer:

No, the United States should NOT use the Atomic Bomb to end WWll

Step-by-step explanation:

A nuclear weapon detonation in or near a populated area would – as a result of the blast wave, intense heat, and radiation and radioactive fallout – cause massive death and destruction, trigger large-scale displacement and cause long-term harm to human health and well-being, as well as long-term damage to the environment, infrastructure, socioeconomic development and social order.
