Question

10 points to the best answer

Answer 1

we can't justify violence & war. as a result, japanese themselves were victims. many japanese lost their sons & husbands too. but by all accounts, these 2 unfortunate events have to happen due to the imperial japan's obstinancy & ambitions:
1) millions of chinese, POWs, & many innocent people were being tortured & murdered mercilessly... (words can never described the atrocities: babies impaled for entertainment, methods of torturing victims very slowly til they die, etc )
2) women in japan, korea, taiwan, malaysia & singapore were forced to be 'comfort women' for the japanese soldiers.
3) if the germans & the japanese have the technology-know-how of the atom bomb, they would have bombed usa & uk too...

Answer 2

1) Those bombings resulted a mass killing of over 200,000 Japanese civilians. I want to emphasize the word: Civilians. In both cities, the overwhelming majority of the deaths were those of civilians. The Target Committee at Los Alamos on May 10–11, 1945, recommended Kyoto, Hiroshima, Yokohama, and the arsenal at Kokura as possible targets. The committee rejected the use of the weapon against a strictly military objective. If you think "Japanese murdered civilians too, so we can murder their civilians" is valid reasoning, please seek professional medical help.

2) Nuclear weapons are not just big bombs. They are incredibly powerful, but also have even more destructing after effects in the form of radiation. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki opened the use of these new weapons, and what an opening it was. Huge amounts of civilian casualties, against an opponent who already was losing the war; the bomb and its powers were kept secret until the bombings. There was no warning about targeting civilians with a new, massive destructive power. And not one bomb, but two. These actions opened the possibility to use these weapons against cities, using "USA did it first" as an excuse. The choice of targets dictated also the main targets of bombs built in following decades: all large warheads and ICBMs are pointing at major cities, where there may even be no military presence whatsoever.

So to summarize these two horrible, negative impacts these bombings had: 1) The massive _civilian_ casualties 2) The start of nuclear weapons usage in warfare, and at the same time the choice of their role in it. There are more reasons, but you asked for 2.

Answer 3

There are probably MANY reasons why the US should not have bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But one would be the death of all the innocent people. OVER 200,000 INNOCENT civilians were killed in the initial blast. Many of which were innocent women and children. Those who were lucky to have their lives, were severely burned, scarred and deformed for it.
Another reason would be the deaths after the blast due to the radiation. The side effects killed thousands more in the years to pass. Many children developed leukemia as a result of the bomb. Also, due to the radiation poisoning women were giving birth to deformed babies!!!
There are so many reasons why they shouldn't have. But the best reason would be the deaths and illness of all those innocent people.

Answer 4

Truman dropped the two atomic bombs on civilian targets for here motives: a million. American casualties to invade the eastern Islands have been desperate to be between 500,000 to a million,000,000 American serviceman. 2. They picked civilian cities to get the element in the time of, because of the fact the eastern military replaced into concept to be so fanatical! If defense force targets have been used, then they concept the eastern defense force might take the losses as ideal and shop on battling. while the defense force observed the U.S. replaced into keen to kill each individual in Japan, they finally found out the war replaced into lost! 3. Russia replaced into going to deliver troops to combat Japan, so as that they might divide it right into a communist zone and a democratic zone, like Korea. Truman felt that element replaced into serious and dropping the bombs may well be the quickest thank you to end the war!

Answer 5

Yea it killed alot of people but think of the loss of life that we would have incurred if we went to full on war. I'd have to say the begging of nuclear warfare would have to be the biggest problem stemming from the US detonation over Japan. Wars will never be fought the same again. We will now have the possibility of Mutually Assured Destruction at any point during battle with other countries.
