Actually the dropping of The Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a war crime. The Allies (yes it was not only the Americans fighting Japan) were well aware that Japan was ready to surrender well before the bombs were dropped.
The bombs were not developed by Americans, they were developed in America by by many scientists who were not American. They were developed on American soil secretly because it was chosen as a safe place to work on it.

The Americans didn't use the nuclear bomb on Germany because the war ended in Europe before the bomb was developed. I don't think it would be developed for that reason too. Since, many of the men who were involved were from Germany,had German ancestry or relatives living in Germany.
Hitler and the 3rd Reich disintegrated months before WW2 ended. It was all over before it was all over.

Germany surrendered May 7th 1945. The United States tested their first nuclear weapons on July 16th 1945. The Germans had surrendered before we knew if the weapon worked or not.

lots of nuclear weapons that britain are saved in bunkers. i'm confident that portsmouth, is likely one among the areas for britain as lots of the nuclear ships dock here. I think of the nuclear weapons on board are bumped off, as quickly as ships have docked. even although, the weapons are in all probability to be pointed all at a embody 360 radius, so as that they are in a position to grant out a rapid attack from any nook of the international.

Your either awfully young or awfully stupid I don't know which. While it's true Germany was working on a nuclear device, they hadn't perfected it to any great degree, it was perfected later on by interestedly enough by the German scientists that were working on it there (Germany) in the US. By the time it was ready (the bomb) the war in Europe was for the most part over , and if Tojo hadn't been the fanatic that he was it probably would not have been used in Japan .

The choice was made to deal with Japan first. A dud A-bomb in Germany would have given the Germans a lot of information that could have added their war effort. The japanese didn't have that capacity. Anyway, Germany was defeated before the bomb was ready to deploy.

Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945. We tested the first atomic device (Trinity) in July of that year. The first bombs were dropped on August 6th and 9th.

It was Europeans who built the bomb. And the war in Europe was over. And Europe was needed as a buffer with the USSR. For all practical purposes the war with Japan was over also. Days before the Japanese Minister for Defense said in the Diet: Gentleman, the war is over, the USSR has declared war on us. Dropping the bombs on Japan as an experiment was as evil as you can get it.

Because Germany surrendered before we had nuclear weapons.
