Put it like this. A couple hundred thousand had died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If the United States and her allies in the Pacific had invaded the Japanese home islands, it would've cost both sides around 1 Million Deaths each. Your call. :)

What were the main reasons why the atomic bomb was dropped by the USA?

President Harry Truman had many alternatives at his disposal for ending the war: invade the Japanese mainland, hold a demonstration of the destructive power of the atomic bomb for Japanese dignitaries, drop an atomic bomb on selected industrial Japanese cities, bomb and blockade the islands, wait for Soviet entry into the war on August 15, or mediate a compromised peace. At the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.


Why was it go to send Japanese Americans to concernation camps?

The thinking was that among the population of Japanese Americans on the west coast there had to be spies, so the government collected everyone and put them in the camps. The people lost farms, homes, and businesses in the process. It wasn't right that the government did this.


Would the war lasted longer if the Americans didn't drop the bomb on Hiroshima?

The answer is yes. The United States was pondering a coastal invasion of Japan, which at the time was a heavily fortified army base. The Japanese government did not care about its people and was ready to fight the invading Americans to the death. The projected deaths of American soldiers for this invasion was close to a million. to put that into perspective, about 400,000 Americans ended up dieing in the war all together. The two atomic bombs dropped were used to send a message to japan that the US had the weapons and was not afraid to use them. They killed approximately 300,000 Japanese citizens and right after they were dropped, japan surrendered and the war was over. Many people believe that decision by Harry Truman to drop the bomb actually saved lives. The war would have lasted much longer and would have been much bloodier if the atomic bomb was not used.


The Internment of Japanese Americans and Japanese residents during World War 2 violated all but which amendment?

i will assume that you are talking about the first 10 amendment's therefore its the 2nd, the right to bear arms


How did the US justify interning Japanese-Americans during World War 2?

Badly. Some of the military leaders in California were .... OK, racists, and decided that Japanese might be disloyal. After all, they might send signals to Japanese airplanes or saboteurs, right? So, many Japanese, and Americans of Japanese ancestry, were interned in rather unpleasant conditions away from the coast for the duration of the war. It's astonishing, therefore, that when the Army asked for Japanese to volunteer for service, that so many did, and served so heroically. The 442nd Regiment, composed almost entirely of Japanese-Americans, fought in Europe and were the most highly decorated unit in American history. As an interesting side-note, Japanese in Hawaii were not interned, even though Hawaii was far more densely populated with Japanese, and there were virtually no acts of sabotage or espionage among Japanese or Japanese-Americans.
