No. Atomic bombardment was act of intimidation and new weapon test. Both Japan cities were civilian without any military infrastructure. By the way many Japan pupils think that bombs were Russian! The only real and ready-to-fight 1 million Japan Quantun Army based in Manjuria was destroyed by Red Army.

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


Pluses on dropping the atomic bomb on japan?

We had a unit on this subject in American history. The reason we dropped the bomb on japan was to end the war quickly and to save as many soldier casualties as possible. In my opinion it was a bad idea for it killed many more this way.
