no it was not necessary. yes, the war could have ended with out the A bomb. The reason for the A bomb was to make other nations aware of the power the U.S. had.

At the time, the Japanese stated that it take the US a million men and a hundred hears to invade the homeland. To end the war, the first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The second one was dropped because the first didn't stop the Japanese.
The was was a do or die situation. So remember that all is fair in love and war.

Yes it could have ended without the atomic bombs, but millions of allied forces would have died invading Japan and many more civilian casualties would have happened. Japan would never surrender even if it was the world against them. 2 main reasons: Kamikazes, this shows the will to never quit, and in the islands south of Japan, Japanese soldiers, when cornered would kill the own children and families so that they would not be captured. As long as Japan could kill an allied force, they were going to fight. The A bomb was definitely necessary

well, it was either invade an island nation and lose hundreds of american soldiers, japanese soldiers, japanese civilians, or drop the bomb
war is about killing enough people on the other side so that their will to fight is gone
japan was very well warned of what was about to happen, even after the first bomb went off, they did not give in
my grandfather fought in the pacific, so if he had had to invade the japanese big island, i suspect there is a high degree of chance that he would have been killed or injured, had this happened, i might not be here today, so i'd say yes

Dropping the atomic bombs was not necessary because the Japanese were getting ready to surrender anyway, the government just needed to convince the country that they had lost. The U.S. government knew this, but dropped the bombs anyway so that everyone could see how powerful the U.S. was.

Yes. At that time the Japanese people were ready to fight to the last and many more people on both sides would have died. It was a sad thing to do, but it brought the war in the Pacific to an end.

The Japanese were not going to surrender otherwise. It would have taken a land invasion of Japan, which would have taken years and cost lives in the millions.
As goofy as it sounds, dropping the atomic bombs probably saved lives, both Allied and Japanese.

yes, but at the cost of thousands of u.s and japaneese military lives. I bealive that the u.s made the right desicion. If they had went for a land based assualt it would have dragged the war on for propbably another 6 months. while the bombs did the same task but with U.S lives saved.
