Answer 3

The Atomic bomb was important because it forced the Japanese out of World War 2. Seeing so much devastation caused by two bombs was enough to convince the Japanese to surrender to U.S. forces. Without the bombs, Japan would've fought on, and a mainland invasion of Japan would've cost hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops casualties.

Answer 4

It devastated two of Japan's major cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and showed the Japanese that the U.S. were prepared to stop the war by any means. Emperor Hirohito, knowing that he could not win against such technological superiority, agreed to the terms of surrender, effectively ending the second world war.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

The Unite states of America wanted to win the war(all countries in war want to) and it showed military power and it was very frightening to see. It also made Japan surrender and USA won the war.

Answer 7

because it helped the americans to win the war

That is wrong. It helped the allies win the war against Japan. There is a misconception about the atomic bomb. It was jointly developed in WW2 by America, Canada and Britain. Production was carried out in America because that was the safest place for it to be developed. It was not, as some believe, to have been invented only by America

The code name used by the allies when discussing the development was 'Tube alloys'

However, it is worth mentioning that because the A Bomb was developed in America by the three allies, it followed that the full blueprints were in America. Disgracefully, Senator Brien McMahon tabled an Act in 1946, and it was passed by the US senate, which prevented the full secrets being released to Canada and Great Britain after the war. This caused a serious rift between the allies . In the event Great Britain went ahead and developed its own nuclear weapons on its own, after which the McMahon Act was scaled down, and both countries now share nuclear secrets

Answer 8

Incredibly large increase in destructive power- 1 bomb, 1 city.
