A study done by William Shockley came up with an upper end figure of 4,000,000 US casualties to conquer Japan. According to his report, projected Japanese losses, military and civilian, would have been a minimum of 5,000,000.

Was bombing Hiroshima justifiable?

At the time probably since it was necessary demonstrated the new weapon and saved many lives, but US also had no idea there would be so many deaths after the fact because of the radiation.

Nagasaki is debatable because given more time to investigate (and find out was really only one bomb) Japan probably would have surrendered without another bombing.
