The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender and the U.S.'s ethical justification for them remains the subject of scholarly and popular debate. The dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused the Japanese to surrender. if they had not been dropped an invasion of the Japanese homeland would have been necessary to defeat the Japanese. That would have resulted in a number of deaths estimated for allies between 100,000 and 1,000,000 and up to 10,000,000 for the Japanese. Both the atomic bombings resulted in less than 250,000 deaths.
How many lives were saved by Trumans decision are unknowable. Now what would you say if Truman, instead of ending the war as quickly as possible, let it go on for several months longer, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions of Japanese, when he had the chance to end it in two quick blows.
