Reason for using the atomic bomb?
Was using the Atomic Bomb a good idea? Yes, it was. It ended the war and actually saved many lives. If we didn't use the bomb on the Japanese they could have killed many of our soldiers or destroyed our cities. A few good reasons to use the bomb was because it ended the war, saved many lives, and to get back for the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Using the atomic bomb in WWII was a good way the end the war. If the war didn't end, many more soldiers could have died. The number of people that died from the bomb is only a small fraction of the people that would have died if the war kept going on. According to Marston 13, around 200,000 people died and many more were injured. If the war kept going, millions of people could have died. One other reason for using the bomb was to get back for the attack on Pearl Harbor. From that attack, about 1,500 people died, and almost 200 U.S. planes were destroyed. Using the atomic bomb on them was a great way to get back at them by killing more than one hundred times as many people.
Why did they stop using atomic bombs?
If you are referring to WW2, then the US stopped using atomic bombs on Japan because Japan agreed to surrender. Had they not, the US had plans and production setup to drop a total of 23 atomic bombs on Japan in 1945.
Was using nuclear weapons during World War 2 justified?
Yes, considering the Japanese Military Leaders would have fought until Japan no longer existed because to surrender was dishonorable and taboo and forbidden. Once the atomic bombs were dropped Emperor Hirohito realized he had to end the war to protect the throne and empire. The military leaders tried to stop him from surrendering. Had Hirohito not surrendered millions of Japanese, Russians, Americans and other allied forces would have died and the war would have gone on for at lease one more year. All the soldiers, Marines and Red Army soldiers are extremely grateful to the men who dropped the atomic bombs because they considered the bombs saved their lives (since they did not have to invade Japan). Some of the scientists who created the atomic bombs (and are still alive) are still receiving thanks for
Who through the atomic bomb on nagasaki?
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.
Was the dropping of the atom bombs by the US a war crime?
Absolutly not. The dropping of the bomb actually saved lives. The American experience at Okanawa proved the Japanese would not surrender. An invasion of the Japanese homeland by Allie forces would have resulted in far more Japanese deaths than the two bombs created. It would have also resulted in thousands of American casualities. The war was started by Japan, not the U.S. Never forget that. Remember that at the time the bomb was dropped, very few people knew exactly what the results would be from the explosion. Hindsight is always 20/20.AnswerThe dropping of the Atomic bomb was not a war crime. However, I do not agree with the fact that using the Atomic bomb was justified. Yes, it did save lives, but innocent civilians died for the soldiers. A soldier's duty is to protect his country and people, not to be saved by his people. Civilians do not deserve to die, they have nothing to do with the war. Yes, they might have donated money or materials to support their country, but for them it was the right thing to do. It is immoral to kill innocent people. I know that the Japanese was cruel and inhuman to their enemies, but that doesn't mean you can do the same to them. That only shows you are no different from them. Soldiers are suppose to do whatever it takes to bring victory to their country, even if it means for them to die. The deaths of 1 million soldiers are better than the death of 1 civilian. I am not implying that soldiers are less human than normal people, but it is the soldier's job to die in battle his country and people. The atomic bombs did not save lives, on the contrary, it resulted 200,000 lives of innocent civilians to be lost. Does this sound like democracy? PS: I am a Chinese, whose country in WW2 suffered 11 million deaths in the hands the Japanese. Out of the 11 million, 10 million were civilians.Follow up.It is indeed better for a million soldiers to die for their country than a un-militarized citizen, however you have to step back and look apon it as an American of that time. America was a racist country, not to mention had a want for revenge. This being the case, even if we were to do a full scale invasion, the racial tensions of the soldiers comes into play, and more than likely they wouldn't have cared if the target had a weapon or was un-militarized, they would have just as quickly killed them. so in a sense dropping the bomb did save some lives.

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
