Too many, but the price was justified by the millions of American lives sparred when the Japanese surrender after the bombs fell. See a manned invasion of Japan would have been disasterous for our soldiers, the Japanese were honor bound to fight down to the last man woman and child. The death toll would've doubled or maybe even trippled. That's why President Truman gave the order to drop those two doomsday weapons.

Perhaps around 200,000. Dropping the 2 a-bombs on Japan forced there surrender. The Japs were warned in advance about the bombings. They were told what cities and when. They had ample opportunity to start evacuating. If the US had not nuked Japan, the US would have had to invade the island of Japan. Which may have resulted in another million American casualties. If that had happened then maybe you and I might not be here today.

Hundreds of thousands, counting later deaths from radiation. You can google it.
Another question is how many people would have died in a longer war, if they hadn't been dropped. We will never know the answer to that one.

200,000 - 300,000. If the americans invaded Japan the deaths would have been alot more. the japanese were training children to jump under tanks with explosives and how to use swords and guns. everyone was ready to fight for every last step. the military made so many Purple Hearts they are still handing those out today to wounded soldiers

Thousands! But I mean thousands less than would have died if an invasion of Japan would have been necessary.

Between 100,000-200,000 people if you include all the people who died of cancer that they got because of the nuclear blast.
