Once Germany surrendered, and the atomic bomb was successfully tested in New Mexico, the possibility existed of using it against Japan. And that is what happened


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.
