thx

guys dont use the word jap come on

yes you cdjack

Answer 1

500,000 reasons Number of allied soldiers they estimate we would have lost.

Over 2,000,000 reasons number of Japanese military and civian casualties they were likely to lose.

Answer 2

Gave Japanese dictators a way to save face in surrender to such an overwhelming force; Hiroshima was a proper military target; the development of the atomic bomb had cost over a billion US tax dollars and it was worth trying it out in a real war, Germany had already surrendered a few months earlier, it set the stage for a new world order as the U.S. was clearly the most powerful war machine on earth, at that moment.

Answer 3

because of the fact Japan had no longer surrendered, on the cases of 18 might, 1945, 26 June 1945 and 24 July 1945 nor on the cases we dropped the bomb on Hiroshima or on Nagasaki. those 2 bombs, by potential of killing 1000's of people and forcing Japan's renounce-stored according to danger a million lives that would desire to have been lost if we'd have had to invade Japan. Comprendo?

Answer 4

1. Saved countless American and Allied Soldiers lives vice an invasion.
2. Forced Japan to surrender bringing an end to the war.
3. See reason 1 and 2...they are the only reasons needed. The object of war is to inflict more damage/casualties on your opponent and win.

Answer 5

---Japan was working on building their own bomb with materials from Germany---not well known. They also were able to produce and deliver the bubonic plague germs and others which they had developed in China for germ warfare at Unit 731. There is evidence that they had stockpiled enough material to kill every person on the earth at the time. Not known until after the war was over.
---Invading Japan would have cost 500,000 to 1 million American lives plus several million Japanese civilians and all of our POW's would have been killed as had been vowed by the Japanese. Japan's military leadership had instilled in the people of Japan the thought to fight to the death for their homeland and Emperor including suicide if necessary. The military had held back several thousand aircraft hidden in mountain caves in preparation of an American attack.
---America had only developed two atomic bombs at the time and it would have taken several more months to complete any more so it was critical to use both bombs in the event the Japanese thought it was a fluke weapon or still resisted after dropping one in order to bring a quick end to the war. The unconditional surrender ultimatum given to the Japanese was so abhorrent to their belief that surrender was not an option that it took unprecedented carnage and the thought of more to overcome that belief.
---American generals and top leaders were concerned about Russia entering the fight and carving up Japan as they had done in Europe. America wanted sole knolwedge of Japanese war secrets and a base to operate from in Asia for the next several years. Plus. the added effect of using nuclear force was to intimidate the Russians to make them more cooperative.
If Japan at the time had the means to use nuclear weapons on us, I have no doubt they would have without question.

Answer 6

1. To avoid American causalties in an invasion.
2. To limit Japanese civilian losses.
3. To show American technological might to the Soviet Union.

For those who don't agree:
1. Look at the losses at Tarawa, Pelileu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.
2. Civilian losses to convential bombing were almost as great and the bombing would have continued.
3. Despite being allies, the US and USSR never did trust each other.

Answer 7

1, It was estimated the war would have gone on into 1948.
2. It was estimated that to continue the war and the subsequent invasion of japan, there would have been an additional 500,000 casualties.
3. The war had already gone on for 3 1/2 years, and during this time, US deaths averaged approx. 1000 per day.
4. Numerous requests for Japan to surrender were ignored.

Answer 8

1. we were running out of money and with all the Japanese fighting to the death we would have been in a long fight ahead of use.

2. America had enough of war and people were beginning to hit an all time low in moral

3. Every Japanese man women and child were tough infantry tactics and told the Americans would eat their children and rape their women. An the Japanese believed it. The citizens that saw the Americans jumped off cliffs with there children in fear of them.

This would have put us up against not just what was left of there conventional forces but we would have had to deal with every citizen in Japan including children and women.

Answer 9

From the moral point of view, I think there is nothing good to mention. But from the strategic -military point of view:

1-) Show them your might: the whole world became afraid,
the spirit was broken, the war ended soon after.
2-) test on a real target a weapon that u could use in the future. So you have a better idea of the short and long term effects
3) Leave a message of fear: if any nation would dare to attack us again, we will literally 'destroy" you. We have no mercy!

Answer 10

That bomb and the next one forced the Japs to surrender. That is the only reason that counts.

Answer 11

The primary example of mans inhumanity to man, you have to dig real deep. 1. showed the horror of nuclear weapons 2. it's easier to rebuild a city when you knock down all the buildings. 3.Excellent argument for ending all wars.
