President Truman justified using the atomic bomb in World War II by claiming it would lead to a quicker end to the war and save countless lives, both American and Japanese, by avoiding a costly invasion of Japan. Many scientists, including some involved in the Manhattan Project, opposed its use due to ethical concerns and the potential for unprecedented destruction and civilian casualties. Truman did not bomb Tokyo because it had already suffered extensive damage from previous bombings, and targeting cities like Hiroshima and Nagasaki was intended to demonstrate the bomb's devastating power while minimizing further destruction in major urban centers.
