Why was America right to drop the bomb on hiroshima?
There is no way to be sure that the actions of the United States in using atomic weapons were 'right'. The only real justification of the Hiroshima bomb was the unwillingness of Japan to surrender without invasion of the home islands, which would have resulted in millions of causalities on both sides. The Nagasaki bomb was unneeded, as Japan was already suing for peace. The U. S. military just wanted to see if it would work.

Atomic bombs create such a powerful explosion because it is started by an atom splitting open, releasing its energy and splitting other atoms, which split other atoms and so on and so on.
