What were the positive effects of the atomic bomb in Nagosagi?
It provided an alternative to the planned invasion of japan which would have cost thousands of lifes
What is the reason for dropping the atomic bomb on Hrioshima and Nagasaki?
We droped the nuke because we would not win on an invasion of Japan. Unfortunately the only way to get Japan to surrender was to do what we did. It was estimated that on the first day of an invasion we would loose over 300,000 men not counting the wounded. It was the best way to get the job done while preserving life at a low cost.

The reasoning behind America's decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan was that?
The USA hoped to end the war with Japan sooner, rather than the wearying business of capturing more and more islands at great cost to the manpower of the American armed forces. And indeed that's what happened, Japan surrendered a few days after the second A-bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.
What were the reasons for the US bombing Japan?
By the end of WWII Japan was already on their knees, after having lost every island in the Pacific... But the reason(s) that the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was that an invasion of Mainland Japan which was still heavily fortified would cost perhaps millions of Americans lives so, President Truman after considering this ordered the bomb(s) to be dropped, the first one on Aug. 6, the second on Aug. 9.

Based on the information that he had, yes. Japan had refused to surrender, invasion of Japan would have cost several million lives, and it DID end the war.

It was right to drop the atomic bomb?
Unfortunately it was the only credible choice for the Allies in WWII. Japan did want to surrender (to surrender in Japan was to lose face). The battles for Iwo Jima and Okinawa were bloodbaths for both sides. An island invasion of Japan would have cost probably a million casualties for both the Allies and Japan. Dropping the two atom bombs was difficult but the only realistic choice for the Allies and Japan. Japan soon surrendered after Nagasaki was bombed.

Was the bombing of Japan ethical?
Yes...Why would you wonder. It saved alot of lives on BOTH sides. An invasion was the alternative. That would have been better for the economy but Truman did not think about that. America was attacked and retribution was not swift. It cost a great many American lives over about 5 years of war. I would have said Bombs Away myself. Plus to be fair Japan did bomb us on Pearl Harbor before that so..
