WW2 finally ended when the Japanese surrendered after what US actions?
The dropping of the Atomic bomb
Do you feel that the US should have used the Atomic Bomb as a means to end World War 2?
Although using such a devastating weapon is always questioned, I believe the U.S. was justified to use the Atomic Bomb. Even the Japanese citizens were told to fight. By dropping the Atomic bomb, there was potentially less death, since no U.S. soldiers were harmed. The citizens would not have surrendered. Japan was not going to surrender, and so the Atomic bomb saved thousands of American lives, and shortened that terrible war
What was the US hoping to avoid by dropping the atomic bombs?
The invasion of Mainland Japan, which was the only other alternative, and which would have been horrifically costly in lives - both American and Japanese.

Who was American leader who authorized the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan?
President Harry Truman
Why did president Truman decide to stop dropping atomic bombs on japan?
There were no more atomic bombs to drop. Further, the Japanese government had already sued for peace.
Was the atomic bomb dropping necessary?
Yes, dropping the atomic bombs was necessary. The offspring of a million American Grandfathers would not be alive today if Truman had decided to invade the island of Japan. Anyone who thinks that the Japanese people would not have fought to the death is kidding themselves. Millions of Japanese men, women and children would have killed themselves rather than surrender to the Americans. Read about the fight for Okinawa and you will have some idea of how tenaciously the Japanese were prepared to fight for their homeland. Anyone who thinks that a negotiated settlement could be reached with the Japanese in 1945 has no understanding of the Japanese or American character. The time for talk was long past and both the Americans on the offensive and the Japanese on the defensive were prepared to slug it out until the bitter end. You sell the Japanese people short if you think they would have listened to reason, when their homeland and emporer were threatened. The Japnanese are a proud and strong people, only the reality of the technical superiority of the American military demonstrated by the dropping of the atomic bombs would bring the conflict to a sudden, dreadful, and conclusive end.
