U.S.’s Decision to drop atomic bombs

Japan. On August 6th and 9th of 1945 U.S. bombers dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, causing utter destruction and many deaths. These bombs were dropped as the Pacific battles of World War II were coming to an end. Soon after Japan surrendered, ending the war. But, was the use of atomic warfare necessary? Was it too harsh and cruel to the Japanese? The first question was whether or not to drop a bomb. The advocate position is that using the atomic bomb is prudent, and it would be a good tool in ending the war. It would put Japan in check to bring a quick finish to the fighting, saving many lives, as well as prevent the Russians from joining the Pacific War.

The bombs were used, and the war ended soon after. Even though the Russian declared war on the Japan, like expected, they were not able to gain too much power in the Pacific. Dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima was the right choice of the American military.
